WINNCARE MI0131 Mangar Sit U Up Pillow

WINNCARE-MI0131-Mangar-Sit-U-Up-Pillow-product

Intended Use

The Sit-u-Up:

Provides adjustable back support for people who require to sleep in a more upright position. NOTE: Do not use the Sit-u-Up when for medical reasons it is critical that an upright sleeping position is maintained (See ‘WARNINGS’).
Provides assistance for those with limited upper body strength wishing to lift themselves to a reclined or sitting position.
Can be used simply as a means of providing additional comfort.

The Sit-u-Up has been designed to be placed on a bed without the use of securing straps. Power is provided by the Mangar Airflo 12 compressor.

PLEASE READ the separate Airflo 12 compressor instructions before fitting and using your Sit-u-Up.

Standard Contents

1 x Sit-u-Up. 1 x Spreader Bar
1 x Headrest 1 x User Instructions.
1 x Overlay (inc. foam, quilt and cover)

Fitting

Insert the spreader bar (A fig.1).
Slide the headrest (B fig.1) as far down the backrest as it will go, ensuring that the bottom edge of the headrest is a minimum of 7cm down from the top of the backrest (detail fig. 1) and an equal distance from the tab on each side as indicated (Fig. 2).
Place the Sit-u-Up on the bed with the spreader bar positioned against the headboard. Lead the air hose (C fig.3), to the side of the bed where the Airflo 12 compressor is to be placed and fold the strut (D fig.3) towards the headboard.

FOR YOUR SAFETY: Ensure that the Airflo 12 compressor, air hose and hand control lead are kept tidy.

WARNINGS

Ensure that you have read and fully understand these and the separate Airflo user instructions before using the equipment.
Where a medical condition dictates that an upright sleeping position is critical, the Sit-u-Up must not be used as an air leak in the system would cause the backrest to loose height over the course of a night.
Ensure that when in use, the Airflo, the hand control lead and air hose are laid out in such a way as to avoid any risk of tripping or strangulation.
Do Not use any other air supply to inflate the Sit-u-Up.
The Sit-u-Up should only be used for it’s stated purpose and should not be modified in any way.
A clinical assessment must be conducted prior to use for users with reduced or limited balance.
Connect the air hose from the Sit-U-Up to the Airflo 12 compressor air outlet socket (E fig. 4).
Connect the Push Button Hand Control (F) to the socket (G).
Place the Airflo 12 by the side or under the bed, in an out-of-the-way position.
Inflate the Sit-u-Up by pressing ‘up’ on the hand control (see separate Airflo 12 compressor instructions).

Assembling the overlay

Insert the foam (H Fig.5) into the quilt (J) as indicated.
Fold the quilt and foam as indicated (Fig.6) and insert them into the cover (K).
Fit the assembled overlay (L fig.7) to the Sit-u-Up by sliding it over the top of the headrest.
Tuck the lower flap (M fig.8) underneath the Sit-u-Up.
Position your pillow on the Sit-u-Up as indicated (fig.8) and wrap the flap (N) completely around the pillow to hold it in place.

Operating

To raise the Sit-u-Up, press ‘up’ on the hand control. Release the button to stop at any point.
To lower the Sit-u-Up, press ‘down’ on the hand control.

Maintenance

Other than routine cleaning and disinfecting, the Sit-u-Up is maintenance- free. Winncare recommends that your Sit-u-Up is inspected annually by either your supplier or other suitably qualified person. If required, Winncare can provide the above inspection within an annual service contract (UK only). Please contact our Customer Service Department for further details on Freephone 0800 2800 485.

Routine Cleaning

Remove the overlay and inflate the Sit-u-Up. Sponge clean with a non abrasive proprietary liquid cleaner or disinfectant and dry thoroughly. Do not dry using hot air.
The overlay cover can be machine washed up to 40°C; low heat tumble dried and medium heat ironed. Do Not dry clean or use bleach. The quilt can be machine washed up to 40ºC and tumble dried. Do not dry clean. The foam pad can be cleaned with a general purpose detergent and water using a clean disposable cloth. Dry using disposable paper towels and allow to dry thoroughly before inserting back into quilt.

Disinfecting

The overlay should be removed and the Sit-u-Up fully inflated. The Sit-u-Up should be pre-cleaned by washing with detergent and water and then disinfected using a 1:10 solution of household liquid bleach and water (1 part bleach to 10 parts cold water). Leave the solution on the Sit-u-Up for approximately 10 minutes before thoroughly rinsing off with clean cold water. Do not dry using hot air. Clean the foam as in ‘Routine Cleaning’. Prepare a 1,000 p.p.m. solution of Chlor-Clean and wipe over the foam with a clean disposable cloth. If a white film is left on the foam, wipe over with a disposable cloth rinsed in clean water. Allow to dry thoroughly before inserting back into the quilt.

Storage

Ensure that the Sit-u-Up is thoroughly dry before storing. Store deflated in a dry place. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
