How to Inflate the ROHO Pressure Cushion – High Profile?

Properly inflating the ROHO Pressure Cushion – High Profile ensures optimal comfort and pressure relief. Follow these steps to inflate your cushion correctly:

1. Position the Cushion: Place the ROHO cushion on the chair with the air cells facing up and the inflation valve in the front left corner. For QUADTRO SELECT cushions, press the green knob to unlock the ISOFLO Memory Control before proceeding.
2. Step 1 – Inflate the Cushion:
   • Turn the inflation valve counterclockwise to open.
   • Attach the rubber nozzle of the inflation pump to the valve.
   • Inflate the cushion until the air cells feel firm.
3. Step 2 – Remove Pump: Remove the pump but leave the inflation valve open.
4. Step 3 – Let Air Escape: Allow air to escape from the valve until you no longer hear or feel airflow. This may take 1-2 minutes. Close the valve once done.
5. Step 4 – Position User: Have the user sit on the cushion in their normal position, ensuring it is centered underneath them.
6. Step 5 – Hand Check for Proper Fit:
   • Slide your hand between the cushion surface and the user’s lowest bony prominence.
   • Slightly lift their leg to locate this area.
   • If needed, let out air by turning the valve counterclockwise until you can just move your fingertips slightly. Close the valve by turning it clockwise.

Maintenance Tip: Regularly check the cushion’s inflation level, as air may escape over time with use. Inspect for any damage and promptly repair or replace the cushion if needed to maintain effectiveness.
