Warnings and Precautions

Individual patient assessments should be made prior to use and appropriate pressure redistributing
devices put in place. Please note the following:
• Unusual body shapes and postures should be assessed prior to use.
• Caution is advised when using with patients with underlying neurological disorders which may
lead to increased anxiety.
• Other medical devices should be assessed for suitability.
• Ensure the Toto platform is fully deflated before attempting to leave the bed.
• 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 back rest, raise the knee break first.
• Ensure the surface of the bed frame is clear from debris before placing the Toto platform, as this
can damage the coating of the cover.
• The system should not be used without a mattress.
• Do not strap the mattress to the bed frame as this will prevent Toto from operating.
• If mattress overlays are being used, these must be securely fastened to the mattress, not the
Toto platform.
• Toto can be used with positioning systems, bed levers and linen cradles, if their support frame
fits horizontally across the bed. These must be positioned under the Toto platform.
• Evacuation hammocks must be placed between the Toto platform and the mattress.
• If using foot board protectors, assess for compatibility.
• Do not place the control unit directly underneath the bed frame if placing on the floor, to avoid
lowering the bed onto the control unit.
• Use only with the supplied AC power lead and with correct fuse fitted. Should there be a need
to replace the fuse, ensure only the correct fuse rating is used (3A).
