THE ADAPTOR PAD and ROHO DRY FLOATATION Special Application Cushioning Devices Operation Manual

Important Safety Information

Warnings:
- Check inflation frequently, at least once a day!
- 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 clinician.
- The cushioning device 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 cushioning device 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 cushioning device 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 place any obstructions between the individual and the cushion. USE ONLY a compatible
cover with the cushion; placing any other item directly under the individual, whether inside or
outside the cover, will make the cushion less effective.
- The cushion surface will acclimate to the surrounding temperature. Take appropriate precautions,
especially when the cushion will contact unprotected skin.
- DO NOT use your cushioning device as a water flotation device (e.g., a Life Preserver). It will NOT
support you in water.
- Use caution when skin will contact the seating surface. Tissue damage may result from increased
friction.
- DO NOT use an under-inflated cushioning device or an over-inflated cushioning device because
the product benefits will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in an increased risk to skin and other
soft tissue. If the cushioning device does not appear to be holding air, or if you are not able to
inflate or deflate the cushioning device, see "Troubleshooting". Immediately contact your clinical
caregiver, distributor, or Customer Support if the problem persists.
- Use caution when handling the cushioning device: Metal grommets on the corners may be a
finger trap hazard.
- Periodically, check the cover and components for damage, and replace if necessary.
- 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.
- If you are unable to perform any tasks described in this manual, seek assistance by contacting
your clinician, equipment provider, distributor, or Customer Support.
Cautions:
- Keep your cushioning device away from sharp objects.
- DO NOT allow your cushioning device to come into contact with oil-based lotions or lanolin. They may
degrade the material.
- Changes in altitude may require adjustment to a DRY FLOATATION cushioning device.
- Prolonged exposure to ozone may degrade materials used in the cushioning device, affect the
performance of the product, and void the product warranty.
