I am so sorry. We need to really check our roho’s every day but we don’t. I have heard of many people getting burned On heating pads and electric blankets, since I first joined the Quad-list. I recently was burned when my hot coffee glass’s straw broke . It was a Drink Aide straw attached to insulated mug that I got at CVS. We Were duct taping it together. A caregiver was not carefully watching and it siphoned .I am now I am using a Fleximug by Fleming. You can order different lengths of straws. We don’t know we are getting burned because we can’t feel. I have had long straw siphon quite a number of times causing burns, but I didn’t need surgery. They did need debriefing and wound care appointments for several weeks .
It is terribly unfortunate that the Roho Corporation cannot make a device to check the quantro cushion for the proper air distribution . Why sell a product that can cause wounds on Spinal cord injuries. It has happened to me several times .
