How to use ROHO High Profile Cushion

• Inflating the Roho High Profile Cushion:
  1. Place the cushion in the wheelchair with the air cells facing up and the non-skid surface of the cover facing down. Consult your prescriber about alternate positions of inflation valves.
  2. Slide the rubber nozzle of the hand pump over the inflation valve. Pinch the nozzle, turn to open the inflation valve, and inflate the air cells.
  3. When all of the air cells are inflated and the cushion begins to arch slightly, pinch the rubber nozzle of the hand pump and turn to close the inflation valve completely.
  4. Remove the hand pump.
  5. Repeat cushion inflation for all valves.


• How To Adjust Your ROHO Cushion?
  1. Place cushion on the chair, making sure it is centered with air cells up, with air valve in front, left corner (when the user is seated). Turn the valve counterclockwise to open.
  2. Slide the rubber nozzle of the pump over the valve and inflate the cushion until it begins to slightly arch upward.
  3. Pinch the pump nozzle and turn the valve clockwise to close. Remove pump. (Repeat steps 1 - 3 for remaining air valves on multi-valve cushions.)
  4. Have the user sit in the chair, making sure the cushion is centered underneath. The user should be seated in their normal sitting position.
  5. Slide your hand between the cushion surface and the user bottom. Lift their leg slightly and feel for their lowest bony prominence. Then lower their leg to a sitting position.
  6. Turn valve counterclockwise to let out air, while keeping your hand under the lowest bony prominence of person. Release air until you can barely move your finger tips no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) and no less than 1/2 inch (1.5 cm). Turn valve clockwise to close.
