Intended Use; Important Safety Information - Permobil ROHO Manual Del Usuario

Intended Use Statement
The ROHO Hybrid Select Cushion (Hybrid Select) is an adjustable, air-filled, wheelchair support surface combining a ROHO DRY
FLOATATION cellular design cushion insert with a contoured foam base, and is intended to conform to an individual's seated shape in the
pelvic loading area to provide skin/soft tissue protection, positioning, and an environment to facilitate wound healing. Optionally, through
removal of the IT Air Pad insert, the Hybrid Select is also intended for offloading of the ITs. There is a weight limit of 500 lbs. (227 kg), and the
cushion must be properly sized to the individual. The Hybrid Select must be used with the supplied cover.
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:
- 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.
- Check inflation frequently, at least once a day.
- DO NOT use a product that is underinflated or overinflated, because
1) the product benefits will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in an
increased risk to skin and other soft tissue, and 2) the individual may
become unstable and vulnerable to falling. Carefully follow all "Setup"
instructions. If the product does not appear to be holding air, or if you
are not able to inflate or deflate the product, see "Troubleshooting".
Immediately contact your equipment provider, distributor, or Customer
Support if the problem persists.
- DO NOT use the components of this product separately. Assemble
and use this product only as instructed in this manual.
- The cushions, foam and cover MUST be compatible sizes and MUST
be used as directed in this manual. IF THEY ARE NOT: 1) The benefits
provided by the product 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 the cushion on top of, or in conjunction with, any other
products or materials, except as indicated in this manual. Using non-
compatible products or materials, whether inside or outside the cover:
1) may reduce or eliminate the benefits of the cushion, increasing the
risk to skin or to other soft tissue, and 2) may cause the individual to
become unstable and vulnerable to falling.
- DO NOT place obstructions between the individual and the cushion.
The cushion and the cover MUST be compatible sizes and MUST
be used as directed in this manual. Except for the compatible cover
provided with this product, placement of any items between the
individual and the cushion: 1) may reduce or eliminate the benefits of
the cushion, increasing the risk to skin or to other soft tissue, and 2)
may cause the individual to become unstable and vulnerable to falling.

Warnings:
- DO NOT use any part of the product as a water flotation device (e.g.
a Life Preserver). It will NOT support you in water.
- The air cell surfaces will acclimate to the surrounding temperature.
Take appropriate precautions, especially when the air cells will
contact unprotected skin.
- 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

with the product.
- DO NOT modify the cushion or any components. Doing so may
result in damage to the product and will void the warranty.
- DO NOT allow the air cells to come into contact with oil-based
lotions or lanolin, which may degrade the material.
- Prolonged exposure to ozone may degrade materials used in the
cushion, affect the performance of the cushion, and void the product
warranty.
- Changes in altitude may require adjustment to the cushion.
- Keep the cushion away from sharp objects.
- Air cells that have been in temperatures lower than 32° F (0°
C) may exhibit unusual stiffness and should be warmed to room
temperature.
- Periodically, check the cover and components for wear and damage
and replace if necessary.
- Carry the product by the cushion base or by the carrying handle on
the cover. Use of any other components to carry or pull the cushion
