Intended Use

The ROHO HARMONY
® ®
base combined with an air-filled, adjustable, segmented-design overlay, intended to conform to an
individual's seated shape to provide skin/soft tissue protection and positioning. There is a weight
limit of 275 lbs. (125 kg), and the cushion must be properly sized to the individual. The HARMONY
must be used with the supplied cover.
ROHO, Inc. recommends evaluation by a clinician who is experienced in seating, positioning and
mobility: 1) to determine whether the cushion is appropriate for the individual; and 2) to determine
whether a solid seat platform is recommended if using the cushion on a sling-seat wheelchair.
ROHO medical products are intended to be part of an overall care regimen. ROHO, Inc.
recommends that a clinician make product recommendations based upon an evaluation of the
individual's medical and therapeutic needs and overall condition.
Warnings
• Skin/soft tissue breakdown can occur due to a number of factors, which vary by individual.
Check skin frequently, at least once a day. Redness, bruising, or darker areas (when compared
to normal skin) may indicate the beginning of soft tissue breakdown and may need to be
addressed. If there is any discoloration to skin/soft tissue, STOP USE immediately. If the
discoloration does not disappear within 30 minutes after disuse, immediately consult a
healthcare professional.
• The cushion and the cover MUST be compatible sizes and MUST be used as directed in this
manual. IF THEY ARE NOT: 1) The benefits provided by the cushion may be reduced or eliminated,
increasing the risk to skin or to other soft tissue, and 2) the individual may become unstable
and vulnerable to falling.
• DO NOT use your cushion on top of, or in conjunction with, any other products or materials,
except as indicated in this manual. Doing so may cause the individual to become unstable and
vulnerable to falling.
• DO NOT use the components of this product separately.
• DO NOT use this cushion as a water flotation device (e.g. a Life Preserver). It will NOT support
you in water.
• If you are unable to perform any tasks described in this manual, seek assistance.
Cautions
• DO NOT use a pump, cover or a repair kit other than those provided by ROHO, Inc. Doing so may void
your product's warranty.
• DO NOT modify the cushion or any components. Doing so may result in damage to the product and
will void the warranty.
• Changes in altitude may require adjustment to your cushion.
• Keep the cushion away from sharp objects.
