WARNING:
NOTE:
The retractable foot section provides multiple patient benefits. These include facilitating the prevention of
footdrop, allowing chair mode patient ingress/egress, and preventing transmission of shear forces from the
mattress to the patient during chair mode articulations. However, for certain patients a retracted foot section
may increase the risk of patient entanglement between the siderails and footboard. If a potential for
entanglement exists, such as with patients who are agitated or disoriented, or who lack the physical strength to
extract themselves should they become entangled, the foot section should be left fully extended when the
patient is not under direct supervision.
Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg Controls
The TotalCare® Bariatric Bed is capable of 15° Trendelenburg and 15° Reverse
Trendelenburg. The powered Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg controls can be
activated at any bed height.
The Trendelenburg feature includes Line-of-Site® Angle Indicators located
in the intermediate siderails for determining Trendelenburg angles.
To Activate:
Features
•Press the Enable control.
•Trendelenburg – Press and hold the Trendelenburg control. The foot
end of the bed system articulating frame raises relative to the head end.
•Reverse Trendelenburg – Press and hold the Reverse Trendelenburg
control. The head end of the bed system articulating frame raises relative to the foot end.
•Return to flat position – Press the opposite control. (If in Trendelenburg, press Reverse Trendelenburg. If in
Reverse Trendelenburg, press Trendelenburg.) When the level position is reached, the bed system will stop.
If the foot section is in the down position when Reverse Trendelenburg is activated, the foot section will automatically
raise. This prevents the articulated foot section from interfering with the floor.
Bed Flat Control
The patient deck can be easily returned to the level position from any articulated position by using the
Bed Flat control.
To Activate:
•Press the Enable Control.
•Press and hold the Bed Flat control. The patient deck moves to the flat position in a two-step motion, first the
articulating frame and then the individual sections. When all sections are flat, the system stops.

Chair Positioning
FullChair® Patient Position Mechanism
Using the FullChair® Patient Position Mechanism, the caregiver can place the Tot alCare® Bariatric Bed
in one of three basic chair positions: chair, chair egress, and recliner
Chair positioning can only be accessed through the caregiver control panel.
Patient ar ti cu lation controls are automatically locked out while the system is in the chair or chair egress
positions. The chair indicator on the caregiver control panel illuminates when the chair position is entered.
Use facility protocol to assess a patient’s ability to be safely articulated into the chair position.
Chair
The head section rises 65°, the knee section rises 10°, and the foot section lowers 70°.
The chair feature allows the caregiver to place the patient in a fully seated position without having to remove the patient
from the TotalCare® Bariatric Bed. The chair feature also provides a means to support the patient’s feet for comfort
and security.
To Activate:
•Set the brake.
•Press the Enable control.
•Press the Chair control. The patient deck transitions to the chair
position.
•If the footboard is installed, when the articulation stops and a tone
sounds, the system has reached the full chair position.
To Support Patient’s Feet:
.
•Check for support in the full chair position. Many patients are
adequately supported with no action required.
•Retract the foot section if necessary.
•For shorter patients, reverse the footboard so that the product label is up.
•Move the mattress foot section up to remain within the footboard.
•Adjust the foot section length using the Foot In control to position the legs correctly while maintaining foot
support.
Many shorter patients may not require that the footboard be reversed. Use of pillows and blankets may provide
adequate support. Extremely short patients may require us e of pillows and blankets in addition to reversing the
footboard for adequate foot support.
For large patients or patients at risk for skin breakdown, use of the Trendelenburg control to tilt the chair position back
will optimize interface pressure performance.
When the brake is not set and the bed system is in the chair or chair egress positions, the brake not set and chair
indicators will flash and an audible alarm will sound.
If the footboard is installed with the bed in the maximum cha ir position and the chair control or foot down control is
pressed, the Remove Ft Board and C hair indic ators will flash and an audible alarm will sound.

Features
NOTE:
WARNING:
Check periodically to ensure that the patient remains properly positioned. If necessary, use the optional seat
belt to keep patients from sliding or falling forward while in a chair position. Use of pillows can maintain side-toside positioning. Injury to the patient may result from improper positioning.
WARNING:
Do not articulate the head section with the patient buckled with the Seat Belt. Patient injury can occur.
WARNING:
Do not use the Seat Belt as a restraint device. The Seat Belt is only to maintain correct patient positioning in
the chair position.
WARNING:
The patient’s feet must be supported at all times while in the chair position. Extended periods of time without
support can cause discomfort and reduced circulation. Refer to page 6, the FlexAfoot™ Retractable Foot
Control, and/or move the patient down in the bed until the patient’s feet are supported. Injury to the patient may
result from improper positioning.
WARNING:
Do not transport a patient with the TotalCare® Bariatric Bed in a chair position. Injury to the patient may result.
CAUTION:
Do not stand or sit on the footboard. Damage to equipment may result.
Chair Egress
The head section rises 75°, the knee section lowers to 0°, the foot section
lowers to 85°, and the Hi-Lo lowers to its lowest height. The foot section also
fully retracts automatically.
The chair egress feature allows the caregiver to easily position a patient to
egress from the foot end of the TotalCare® Bariatric Bed.
The FullChair® Patient Egress Position Mechanism is intended to facilitate
patient egress and not long-term sitting.
To Activate:
•Ensure the casters are in the trailing position.
•Set the brake.
•Remove the footboard.
•Press the Enable control.
•Press the Chair control. The patient deck transitions to the chair egress position. Monitor the patient as the
system moves to the egress position.
•Assist the patient with egress.
