Warnings

• Skin/soft tissue breakdown can occur due to a number of factors, which vary by

individual. Check skin daily. Redness, bruising, or darker areas (when compared to
normal skin) may indicate the beginning of soft tissue breakdown and needs to be
addressed. If any discoloration does NOT disappear within 30 minutes of discovery,
consult a healthcare professional immediately.

• Check inflation frequently, at least once a day!

• DO NOT use an under-inflated or an over-inflated product because the product benefits

Registration Card

The ROHO® MOSAIC® Cushion (MOSAIC) is an adjustable, air-filled, segmented-design
wheelchair support surface and is intended to conform to an individual’s seated shape to
provide skin/soft tissue protection. There is a weight limit of 250 lbs. (113 kg), and the
cushion must be properly sized to the individual.

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

If you are using a wheelchair with a seat that does not provide a firm foundation,
ROHO, Inc. recommends the use of the ROHO Planar Solid Seat Insert, or a solid seat
platform, in conjunction with your wheelchair cushion for best positioning results.
