Intended Use

The ROHO Hybrid Elite Cushion (Hybrid Elite Cushion) 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. There is a weight limit of 500 lbs. (225 kg), and the cushion must be properly
sized to the individual. The Hybrid Elite Cushion must be used with the supplied cover. Cushion models include:
- ROHO Hybrid Elite SR Cushion (Hybrid Elite SR)
- ROHO Hybrid Elite Dual Compartment Cushion (Hybrid Elite Dual Compartment Cushion)
Contraindication: Based on clinical, scientific or engineering evidence, the Hybrid Elite Dual Compartment Cushion may not be suitable for individuals who
require accommodation of pelvic asymmetry greater than 2 in. (5cm). The Hybrid Elite SR Cushion is not suitable for individuals who require accommodation of
pelvic asymmetry.
Compatibility: Hybrid Elite Cushions are NOT COMPATIBLE with the ROHO Contour Base.
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.
- DO NOT use the cushion on top of, or in conjunction with, any other
products or materials, except otherwise indicated in this manual. Doing
so may cause the individual to become unstable and vulnerable to falling.
If your cushion feels unstable, see "Troubleshooting" or consult with a
clinician for proper use.
- DO NOT place obstructions between the individual and the cushion. Except
for the compatible covers and accessories listed in "Product Specifications"
this manual, any items placed between the individual and the cushion,
whether inside or outside the cover, will make the cushion less effective.
- 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 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.
- The cushion surface will acclimate to the surrounding temperature.
Take appropriate precautions, especially when the cushion will contact
unprotected skin.
