Intended Purpose

Frequent repositioning of individuals with impaired mobility and the use of an appropriate support
surface are the most significant interventions to prevent pressure damage
through individual patient assessment and the implementation of manual turning plans.
Toto® is an automated lateral turning system supporting healthcare professionals in the regular
turning of patients, who are at risk of developing pressure ulcers or injuries.
Extended periods of lying or sitting on a particular part of the body and failure to redistribute the
pressure on the body surface can result in sustained deformation of soft tissues and, ultimately, in
tissue damage 4 . Repositioning involves changing the position of the lying or seated individual at
regular intervals, with the purpose of relieving or redistributing pressure and enhancing comfort.
The frequency of repositioning is determined by considering the individuals level of activity to
independently reposition
position for pressure ulcer or injury reduction
customisation of turning frequency, with a 30-degree angle of tilt.
The Toto® system comprises a user programmable control unit, and a multiple patient use turning
platform, which is positioned underneath the patients' mattress to effectively relieve pressure
over patients' most vulnerable areas. Toto is suitable for use with foam mattresses, alternating air
mattresses, low-air loss mattresses and mattress overlays that do not exceed 995mm wide and
2100mm long.
The control unit provides customised care with a user-determined side selection feature and
accurately timed digital inflation and rest durations, allowing for patient-prescribed turning
intervals. Increased patient safety is achieved, via a sophisticated yet simple to understand system
of integrated alarms and a convenient therapy pause mode, enables patient interaction without
having to stop therapy.
The turning platform operates via discreet air cells which smoothly, gently and consistently turn
the patient laterally via the mattress surface, even when they are asleep. Compatible with profiling
beds and both standard and alternating pressure relieving equipment, the platform provides head
to toe peak pressure redistribution.
The Toto system has a maximum user weight of 250kg (551lbs) meaning management of heavier
patients becomes easier and less onerous on staff. Toto can be used in conjunction with support
aids and sleep systems, an individual assessment must be carried out to assess for suitability.
Bedsides should be used to help prevent patient egress and to increase the feeling of security, see
warnings and precautions for further information.
Toto does not replace pressure relieving and redistribution surfaces and is supplementary to their use.
Indications
Toto is a suitable supplementary device for the prevention of pressure ulcers for patients:
• Identified as being at moderate to high risk of developing pressure damage.
• Weighing up to 250kg (551lbs).
• That are unable to change their position without assistance.
Requiring regular turning and who are non-compliant with manual turning schedules.
Contraindications
• Do not use without a suitable pressure redistribution surface and package of care.
• Do not use with patients with unstable spinal cord injuries or who are undergoing traction.
• Do not use with patients with equilibrium disturbances.
