CAUTIONS
THE ADAPTOR AND DRY FLOATATION CUSHIONING DEVICES:
• CHECK INFLATION AT LEAST ONCE A DAY!
• WEIGHT LIMIT: The cushioning device should be correctly sized to the user. No weight limit on neoprene ROHO
products if the product has been correctly sized to the user.
• CUSHIONING DEVICE ORIENTATION: Product must be used with the air cells facing the user. For products with
a provided cover, if the cover is not used correctly or if the cover is the wrong size, it may reduce or eliminate the
cushioning device's benefits and could increase risk to the skin and other soft tissue.
• PUNCTURE: Keep your cushioning device away from sharp objects, which may puncture the air cells and cause it to
deflate.
• HEAT/FLAME: DO NOT expose your cushioning device to high heat, open flames or hot ashes.
• DO NOT use on top another cushioning product.
• OBSTRUCTIONS: DO NOT place any obstructions between the user and the cushioning device, as it will reduce product
effectiveness.
• HANDLING: DO NOT use any valve as a handle for carrying or pulling your cushioning device. Carry your cushioning
device either by the yellow nylon carrying rope (when applicable), the cover’s carrying handle, or by holding the
cushioning device's base.
• SOLUTIONS: DO NOT allow oil-based lotions or lanolin to come in contact with your cushioning device, as they may
degrade the material.
• OZONE GENERATORS: Prolonged exposure to ozone will degrade materials used in your cushioning device and
may affect the performance of your product and invalidate the product warranty. Avoid prolonged exposure of the
cushioning device to direct sunlight or other sources of ultraviolet (UV) light.
• PRODUCT USE: DO NOT use your cushioning device as a water flotation device (e.g., a Life Preserver).
DRY FLOATATION CUSHIONING DEVICES ONLY:
• UNDER-INFLATION: DO NOT use an under-inflated cushioning device. Using a cushioning device that is under-
inflated reduces or eliminates the cushioning device’s benefits, increasing risk to the skin and other soft tissue. If
your cushioning device does not appear to be holding air, check to make sure that all valve(s) are closed by turning
the inflation valve(s) clockwise. If your cushioning device is still not holding air, contact your clinical caregiver,
distributor, or ROHO, Inc. immediately.
• OVER-INFLATION: DO NOT use an over-inflated cushioning device. An over-inflated cushioning device will not conform
to the user's shape and will reduce or eliminate the cushioning device’s benefits increasing risk to the skin and other
soft tissue.
• PRESSURE: Changes in altitude may require adjustment to your cushioning device. Check your cushioning device
when changing altitude of 1,000 feet (300 meters) or greater.
• CLIMATE: If a cushioning device has been in temperatures less than 32°F (0°C) and exhibits unusual stiffness, allow
the cushioning device to warm to 72°F (22°C), then open inflation valve. Roll up the cushioning device and then
unroll it until the neoprene is soft and pliable again. Repeat proper adjustment instructions before using.
• DO NOT use any pump, cover, or repair kit other than those provided by ROHO, Inc. Doing so may damage the
cushioning device and void your product's warranty.
