Safety

! Warnings and Precautions

Assess each patient before use and put in place appropriate pressure redistributing devices.
Please note the following:
• Before use, check the integrity of the platform and air cells for any visible signs of damage.
Bursting air cells may result in injury.
• Do not use without a mattress.
• Assess for unusual body shapes and postures.
• Patients who have increased anxiety may not be suitable for automated lateral turning systems.
• Assess other medical devices for suitability.
• Fully deflate the Toto lateral turning system platform before attempting to leave the bed.
• Discontinue or engage therapy pause mode during hygiene procedures and when over-bed
tables are being used to avoid the risk of spillages.
• When elevating a profiling bed backrest, raise the knee break first.
• Ensure the surface of the bed frame is clear from debris before placing the Toto lateral turning
system platform, as this can damage the coating of the cover.
• Do not strap the mattress to the bed frame as this prevents the system from inflating.
• Secure mattress overlays to the mattress, not the platform.
• The Toto lateral turning system can be used with positioning systems, bed levers and linen
cradles if their support frame fits horizontally across the bed. Position under the Toto lateral
turning system platform.
• Place evacuation hammocks between the Toto lateral turning system platform and the mattress.
• Ensure bedsides are fully engaged when the system is active.
• Use bedsides during use. Check for clearance from the top of the mattress to the bottom of the
bedside (minimum of 185mm) and assess for risk of entrapment.
• If using footboard protectors, assess for compatibility.
• Do not place the control unit directly underneath the bed frame if placing on the floor so to
avoid lowering the bed onto it.
• Do not position the system so that it is difficult to access and operate the CPR deflation valve.
• Use only with the supplied AC power lead and with correct fuse fitted. Should there be a need
to replace the fuse, only the correct fuse rating is to be used (3A).
• Potential electromagnetic interference between the control unit and other devices may occur. If
interference is suspected, move equipment away from each other and contact the manufacturer.
• Keep away from pets and children.
