Permobil ROHO AirLITE Manuel D'utilisation page 4

Intended Use
The ROHO AirLITE Cushion (AirLITE) is a wheelchair support surface with a non-adjustable, air-filled, segmented-design, AIR FLOATATION
Technology insert, encased in contoured foam. The AirLITE is intended to conform to an individual's seated shape to provide positioning. There is
a weight limit of 300 lbs. (136 kg), and the cushion must be properly sized to the individual. The AirLITE must be used with the supplied cover.
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 your cushion on top of, or in conjunction with, any
other products or materials, except as indicated in this manual.
Using noncompatible products or materials, whether inside or
outside the cover: 1) may reduce or eliminate the benefits of the
cushion, increasing the risk to skin or to other soft tissue, and 2)
may cause the individual to become unstable and vulnerable to
falling.
- DO NOT place obstructions between the individual and the cushion.
The cushion and the cover MUST be compatible sizes and MUST
be used as directed in this manual. Except for the AirLITE Cover,
placement of any items between the individual and the cushion: 1)
may reduce or eliminate the benefits of the cushion, increasing the
risk to skin or to other soft tissue, and 2) may cause the individual to
become unstable and vulnerable to falling.
