WINNCARE Mangar Handy Pillow Lift

WINNCARE-Mangar-Handy-Pillow-Lift-PRO

Intended Use

The Handy Pillow Lift:

Provides adjustable back support for people who require to sleep in a more upright position. NOTE: Do not use the Handy Pillow Lift 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 Handy Pillow Lift has been designed to fit on any bed without the need for securing straps. Power is provided by the Mangar Airflo 12 Compressor.

WARNINGS

Ensure that you have read and fully understand these and the separate Airflo 12 user instructions before using the equipment.
Where a medical condition dictates that an upright sleeping position is critical, the Handy Pillow Lift must not be used as an air leak in the system would cause the backrest to loose height.
Ensure that when in use, the Airflo 12, 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 Handy Pillow Lift.
The Handy Pillow Lift should only be used for it’s stated purpose and should not be modified in any way.
Do not operate the Airflo 12 compressor in the presence of flammable anaesthetic mixtures with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide, as these mixtures can create a combustible environment leading to the potential for fire or even an explosion in the presence of a spark.
Ensure that when in use, the Airflo 12 compressor, 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 allow children to play with the Handy Pillow Lift or Airflo 12 as operation of the equipment in an uncontrolled or unsupervised situation may lead to personal injury and/or damage.
A clinical assessment must be conducted prior to use for users with reduced or limited balance.

Please Note: This product and associated packaging does not contain latex.

Fitting Instructions

Fit the spreader bar (A fig. 1) through the pocket on the base of the Handy Pillow Lift.
The air hose (B), can be led to either side of the bed, depending on where the compressor is to be placed. If the hose is to be led to the left hand side of the bed (as you lie on the bed), the hose needs to pass through the two holes as indicated (C).
Remove the pillows from the bed and place the Handy Pillow Lift on the bed with the spreader bar positioned up against the headboard. Fold the strut (D fig.2) towards the headboard.
Connect the air hose from the Handy Pillow Lift to the Airflo 12 air outlet socket (E fig. 3).
Connect the push button hand control (F) to the hand control socket (G).
Place the Airflo 12 by the side or under the bed, in an out of the way position.
Partially inflate the Handy Pillow Lift by pressing ‘Up’ on the hand control (see separate Airflo 12 user instructions).
Fit the quilt (H fig.4) to the Handy Pillow Lift by inserting the top and bottom of the Handy Pillow Lift into the pockets at the top and bottom of the quilt.
Fit the cover (J ) over the quilt in the same way as fitting the quilt, ensuring that the flap (K), is positioned at the top.
Position your pillow on the Handy Pillow Lift as indicated (fig. 5) and wrap the flap (K) completely around the pillow to hold it in place.

Operating Instructions

To raise the Handy Pillow Lift, press ‘Up’ on the hand control or built-in control button.
To stop at any point, release the ‘Up’ button.
To lower the Handy Pillow Lift, press ‘Down’ on the hand control or built-in control button.

FOR YOUR SAFETY: Keep the compressor, the air hose and the hand control tidy and easy to reach.

Routine Cleaning

Remove the cover and quilt and inflate the Handy Pillow Lift. Sponge clean with a non abrasive proprietary liquid cleaner or disinfectant and dry thoroughly. Do not dry using hot air. The cover can be machine washed up to 40°C; low heat tumble dried and medium heat ironed. Do Not dry clean or use bleach. Restrict the quilt washing temperature to 40°C for maximum product life.

Disinfecting
The quilt and cover should be removed and the Handy Pillow Lift be fully inflated. The Handy Pillow Lift 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 Handy Pillow Lift for approximately 10 minutes before thoroughly rinsing off with clean cold water. Do not dry using hot air.
The quilt can be thermal disinfected at 71ºC for 3 minutes, followed by tumble drying.
NOTE: ‘Normal’ setting tumble dry temperatures (70ºC) can reach 80ºC and therefore, a ‘Low‘ temperature (40ºC) setting should be used. If thermal disinfection of the quilt at 71ºC for 3 minutes is repeatedly carried out, degradation of the quilt’s performance can occur.

Storage
Ensure that the Handy Pillow Lift is thoroughly dry before storing. Store deflated in a dry place. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

Maintenance

Other than routine cleaning and disinfecting, the Handy Pillow Lift is maintenance-free. Winncare recommends that your Handy Pillow Lift is inspected annually by either your supplier or another 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.
