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

The Sit-u-Up has been designed to be placed on

WARNINGS
• Ensure that you have read and fully understand
these and the separate Airo user instructions
before using the equipment.

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 Airo, 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 inate the
