INTENDED USE:

The ROHO® Hybrid Elite® Cushion (Hybrid Elite) is a therapeutic cushioning device intended for
users who weigh 500 lbs. (225 kg) or less, who require low to moderate postural and positioning
support, and/or who are at moderate to high risk for skin breakdown. The contoured foam base of
the Hybrid Elite is designed to enhance seating stability and support while the adjustable ROHO DRY
FLOATATION® cushion insert provides an environment to protect the user from soft tissue breakdown.
The Hybrid Elite must be properly sized to the user and the wheelchair. The cushion must be used
with a Hybrid Elite cover. The Hybrid Elite is intended to be part of an overall care regimen.

For best positioning results when using a wheelchair with a sling seat, ROHO, Inc. recommends the
use of a solid seat in conjunction with the Hybrid Elite.

CLINICIAN CONSULTATION:

ROHO, Inc. recommends that a clinician, such as a physician or therapist experienced in seating
and positioning, be consulted to determine if the Hybrid Elite is appropriate for the user’s particular
seating needs.

CONTRA-INDICATIONS:

The Hybrid Elite is not intended for use by individuals with severe postural needs. It is not intended
for use by individuals weighing more than 500 lbs. (225 kg). The Hybrid Elite must not be used with
a cover other than the one provided.

WARNING: When using a new seating support surface, it is especially important to inspect the
skin, especially those areas covering bony prominences, which are at greater risk for breakdown. If
any discoloration (ie. redness, bruising, purple, or darker areas versus normal skin tone, which may
be the beginning sign of skin breakdown) is noted and does NOT disappear within 30 minutes after
removal from the product, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider immediately.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS:

MATERIALS:

The contoured foam base is comprised of water resistant polyethylene closed cell foam.

The cushion insert is made of neoprene rubber with nickel plated brass inflation valve(s).

The Hybrid Elite with cover complies with EN 1021-1 and EN 1021-2 flammability requirements.
