Setting up a Roho
 Ensure the ISOFLO® Memory Control™ Unit valve is in the unlocked position by sliding the valve to the right.  Inflate the cushion until all the cells are full of air. When this is done the cushion will have a SLIGHT upward arch  Place person on cushion. Check footplates are properly adjusted  
Slide your hand palm side down to locate the boniest prominence—usually the ischial tuberosity. If you are not sure lift the persons leg slightly and you will feel the boney area move While keeping your hand under the boney prominence, open the ROHO air valve and let air escape. Continue to let air out until you can feel about 15mm between the bone and the base of the cushion. The person will feel themselves sink into the cushion Close the air inlet valve

With the ISOFLO® Memory Control™ Unit still in unlocked mode position the pelvis. If correcting asymmetry you may need to hold the pelvis in position. Once the pelvis is in the desired position push the ISOFLO® Memory Control ™ Unit to locked position  Contouring as per this photo after a person gets off the cushion is normal. Do not adjust air unless patient is less than 15 mm from the base. If cells look full with nobody on the cushion it is likely it is overinflated

Immersion is the aim, picture at the bottom is correct, picture above is wrong!
