INTENDED USE
• DO NOT operate AGILITY without first reading and understanding this manual. If assistance is needed, contact a clinician, ROHO
provider or ROHO, Inc.
• In addition to information in this manual, individuals with an AGILITY installed on a wheelchair must continue to follow the
wheelchair manufacturer’s instructions.
• When using any back system, 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.
• AGILITY should be installed by a qualified and competent healthcare professional.
• AGILITY must be sized correctly to the individual and the wheelchair.
• As with any addition to a wheelchair, AGILITY may affect the stability of the wheelchair. Before using an AGILITY, ROHO, Inc.
recommends that a clinician evaluate the need for possible wheelchair modifications.
• DO NOT lean over the top of AGILITY. This may cause a change in center of gravity and the wheelchair could tip over.
• Use caution when installing, adjusting, or removing AGILITY hardware to avoid pinching or trapping fingers in openings.
• AGILITY is not intended for individuals weighing over 300 lbs. (136 kg).
• Check AGILITY screws, clamps, and brackets for wear, breakage, and tightness daily. Retighten loose screws following the
instructions throughout this manual. DO NOT continue to use an AGILITY if any part cannot be tightened or is broken. ROHO, Inc.
recommends that an AGILITY be thoroughly inspected periodically by a qualified technician.
• DO NOT attach, remove or adjust the width of an AGILITY when an individual is seated in the chair.
• DO NOT use an AGILITY to lift or push a wheelchair. Doing so may cause the back system to become unintentionally detached from
the wheelchair. Ensure both left and right safety locks are in the LOCKED ( ) position prior to the individual being seated in the
chair and remain in the LOCKED ( ) position while the individual is seated in the chair.
• AGILITY is compatible with many wheelchairs that are angularly adjustable, recline or tilt and result in a back angle up to and
including 60 degrees. Beyond 60 degrees, AGILITY may not be an appropriate selection. Use with wheelchairs that angularly
adjust, recline or tilt to a back angle greater than 60 degrees may cause AGILITY to accidentally disconnect from the wheelchair,
resulting in a fall and the potential for serious injury. Consult a clinician to determine if AGILITY is compatible with the individual’s
wheelchair.
