Intended Use; Important Safety Information - Permobil ROHO AGILITY Minimum/Mid Contour Back Support Instrucciones De Uso

Intended Use

ROHO AGILITY Back Supports (AGILITY) are replacement backrest supports for wheelchairs that are intended to provide trunk/pelvis support and positioning.
AGILITY contours include ROHO AGILITY Minimum Contour Back Support (AGILITY Minimum Contour) and ROHO AGILITY Mid Contour Back Support (AGILITY
Mid Contour). AGILITY have a weight limit of 300 lbs. (136 kg) and must be properly sized to the individual.
Compatibility: See "Product Specifications" for compatible attachment hardware and accessories.
A clinician who is experienced in seating and positioning should determine whether the product is appropriate for the individual's particular seating needs. The
product's intended use statement alone should not be relied upon to make that determination.
The medical products featured in this document are intended to be only one part of an overall care regimen that includes all seating and mobility equipment and
therapeutic interventions. A clinician who is experienced in seating and positioning should identify this care regimen after evaluating the individual's physical needs
and overall medical condition.
A clinician should also evaluate for visual, reading, and cognitive impairment to determine the need for caregiver assistance or the need for other assistive
technology, such as large-print instructions, to ensure proper product use.

Important Safety Information

Warnings:
- DO NOT use the product without first reading and understanding all of the provided instructions. If you are unable to perform any tasks in this manual, seek
assistance by contacting the clinician, equipment provider, distributor, or Customer Support.
- Follow all instructions and safety information provided with the product and provided by the manufacturer of the wheelchair or other accessories.
- 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 superficial or deep tissue injury and should 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 product should be installed by an equipment provider or clinician.
- The product must be sized correctly to the individual and the wheelchair.
- The AGILITY is intended to be used with an AGILITY cover, foam pad, lumbar support pad (if applicable), and either the air insert or the foam insert. All
components MUST be compatible sizes and MUST be used as directed in this manual. Use of any hardware or components other than those approved for
use with the product may result in product damage or failure and may void the warranty. Compatible components and accessories are listed in "Product
Specifications" in this manual.
- As with any addition to a wheelchair, the product may affect the wheelchair's stability. Before using the product, consult with a clinician or equipment provider to
determine whether the wheelchair should be modified.
- DO NOT lean over the top of an AGILITY Back Support. Doing so may cause a change in the center of gravity, and the wheelchair could tip over.
- DO NOT lift or push a wheelchair using any part of an AGILITY because it may become detached from the wheelchair.
- DO NOT expose the product to high heat, open flames or hot ashes. Testing or certification claims, including for flammability, may no longer apply to this device
when it is combined with other products or materials. Check testing and certification claims for all products used in combination with this device.
- Metal components may become hot if exposed to high temperatures or cold if exposed to low temperatures. The cover assembly surface will acclimate to the
surrounding temperature. Take appropriate precautions, especially when the product will contact unprotected skin.
- Altering the product may affect its performance and void the warranty.
- If a headrest is necessary, follow the headrest manufacturer's instructions and safety information. Note: Before installing another manufacturer's headrest,
consult with a clinician or service provider to ensure the headrest is compatible with the AGILITY.
Cautions:
- Protect the AGILITY from blunt force shocks that may cause damage and/or breakage.
- The components of an AGILITY are not intended to be used separately from an AGILITY or in conjunction with other wheelchair back supports.
- Check AGILITY components for wear or damage. DO NOT use an AGILITY if any component is not functioning properly or is broken. Periodically, the AGILITY
should be thoroughly inspected by a qualified technician.
- Carry the AGILITY by the cover handle or by firmly grasping the edges of the back shell.
Warnings - Motor Vehicle Transportation Important Safety Information:
- Whenever possible, transfer out of the wheelchair installed with AGILITY and into a manufacturer-installed vehicle seat, and use the vehicle's crash-tested
occupant restraint support.
- To determine whether motor vehicle third-party testing has been performed with the specific hardware-AGILITY combination, refer to the operation manual
provided with AGILITY, attachment hardware, and other accessory, or contact the equipment manufacturer.
