Precautions – ROHO HARMON cushion User Manual

PRECAUTIONS
• CHECK INFLATION AT LEAST ONCE A DAY!
• DO NOT use any supply of compressed air, oxygen, or other gases to inflate your
cushion. The use of any inflation device other than the supplied hand pump may dam-
age the cushion and void the warranty.
• UNDER-INFLATION: DO NOT use an under-inflated cushion. Using a cushion that
is under-inflated reduces or eliminates the cushion’s benefits, increasing risk to the
skin and soft tissue. If your cushion appears under-inflated or does not appear to be
holding air, make sure that the valve is closed by turning it clockwise. If your cushion
is still not holding air, contact your clinical caregiver, distributor, or ROHO, Inc. im-
mediately.
• OVER-INFLATION: DO NOT use an over-inflated cushion. Using an over-inflated
cushion will not allow you to sink into the cushion and will reduce or eliminate the
cushion’s benefits, increasing risk to the skin and other soft tissue.
• CUSHION AND COVER ORIENTATION: Product must be used with the provided cover
and with the air cells facing up. If the cover is not used correctly or if the cover is the
wrong size, it may reduce or eliminate the cushion’s benefits and could increase risk to
the skin and other soft tissue.
• DO NOT use on top of or in conjunction with another cushioning product.
• OBSTRUCTIONS: DO NOT place any obstructions between the user and the cushion
as it will reduce product effectiveness.
• PRESSURE: Changes in altitude may require adjustment to your cushion. Check your
cushion when changing altitude of 1,000 feet (300 meters) or greater.
• PUNCTURE: Keep your cushion away from sharp objects which may puncture the air
cells and cause deflation.
• DO NOT expose your cushion to high heat, open flames or hot ashes.
• CLIMATE: If a cushion has been in temperatures (less than 32ºF/0º C) and experienc-
es unusual stiffness, allow the cushion to warm to 72ºF/22ºC before inflation or use.
• HANDLING: DO NOT use the valve to carry your cushion. Use the carrying handle on
the provided cover.
• DO NOT use your cushion as a water flotation device (e.g. a life preserver).
• OZONE GENERATORS: Prolonged exposure to ozone will degrade materials used in
your HARMONY cushion and may affect the performance of your product and invalidate
the product warranty. Avoid prolonged exposure of the cushion to direct sunlight or
other sources of ultraviolet (UV) light.
