Intended Use
The ROHO AirLITE Convex Insert (AirLITE Convex Insert) is a base that is intended
to be positioned between the bottom of the AirLITE Cushion and the bottom of the
AirLITE Cover, to provide a flat foundation and to minimize the hammocking effect of
wheelchair sling seats. There is a weight limit of 300 lbs. (136 kg), and the AirLITE
Convex Insert must be correctly sized to the AirLITE Cushion and Cover.
Compatibility: The AirLITE Convex Insert is compatible only with the AirLITE cushion
and cover. The AirLITE Convex Insert should be used only with wheelchairs that have
a sling seat.
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.
