Reason/Issue A problem was discovered internally with a supplied component for the affected products listed above. When a Smart Check by ROHO (Smart Check), model number SMARTCHECK-01, is used to perform a Smart Setup with one of the affected cushions, the nonconforming part may adversely affect the setup process resulting in an improper cushion setup. Sitting on an over inflated or under inflated Sensor Ready Cushion may reduce or eliminate the benefits provided by the cushion, increasing the risk to skin or to other soft tissue.

(Please note that this risk is not present when the Sensor Ready Cushion is used without the Smart Check nor is the risk present when the Sensor Ready Cushion is used with the Smart Check and the setup is performed using the Optional Setup mode).
