Placement And Adjustment Instructions - ROHO Hybrid ELITE Mode D'emploi

ROHO HYBRID ELITE PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE: Cover not shown for demonstration purposes only. Product must be used with provided cover.
STEP 1: Place ROHO Hybrid ELITE
Cushion in wheelchair seat so the
user will be properly supported and
immersed when in their normal sitting
position. Use the directional patch on
the right side of the cover as a guide.
(Location of patch shown in step 4.)
STEP 4: Have the user sit on the
cushion, making sure the boniest
prominences are supported by the
air cells. Check to make sure the
cushion is properly sized to the
user and the wheelchair. Consult a
clinician as needed.
*Dual Compartment Cushion Inserts: Dual compartment cushion inserts may be used for side-to-side
positioning. To maximize the positioning benefits for individuals with a pelvic obliquity, the side with
the deepest bony prominence must be adjusted first. Once both adjustments are made, recheck each
compartment to ensure proper adjustment.
NOTE: DO NOT sit on an improperly inflated cushion insert. Doing so reduces or eliminates the
cushion's benefits and could increase risk to the skin and other soft tissue. The cushion is most
effective when there is 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm) of air maintained between the cushion
insert and the user's lowest bony prominence.
STEP 2: Turn valve counterclockwise
to open. Slide the pump's rubber
nozzle over a valve and inflate the
cushion insert until it begins to
slightly arch upward.
STEP 5: Slide hand between the
cushion and the user's bottom.
Lift the user's leg slightly and feel
for the lowest bony prominence*.
Then lower the user's leg to a
sitting position.

STEP 3: Pinch the pump's nozzle

(Repeat steps 2 and 3 for
remaining air valve on dual valve
cushion inserts.)
STEP 6: Turn valve counterclockwise
to let out air, while keeping hand under
the user's lowest bony prominence.
Release air until finger tips barely
move – no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm)
and no less than 1/2 inch (1.25 cm).
Turn valve clockwise to close.
(Repeat steps 5 and 6 for remaining
air valve on dual valve cushion
inserts.)
