Product Description
Toto is an automated lateral turning system which consists of a Toto Touch Control Unit and a
turning platform with cover.
Designed to assist with patient turning and pressure ulcer prevention plans, the system is based
on inflating alternating air cells within the platform. These turn patients laterally via the mattress
surface to a maximum of either 30 or 45 degrees depending on which version is used.
The digital Control Unit provides customised care with a user determined side selection feature
and accurately timed digital inflation and rest durations. Sophisticated blockage and air leak alarms
help ensure patient safety, as well as an interface lock to avoid unwanted setting changes.
A convenient therapy pause mode enables patient interaction without having to stop therapy and
a service indicator to maintain performance also comes as standard.
The system is compatible with profiling beds and both standard and alternating pressure relieving
equipment. It is also compatible with domestic mattresses, except pocket sprung.
Toto lateral turning system does not replace pressure relieving and redistribution surfaces and is
supplementary to their use.
Indications
Toto lateral turning system is suitable for the prevention of pressure ulcers for the following
patients:
! Warnings and Precautions
Individual patient assessments should be made prior to use and appropriate pressure relieving
devices put in place. Please note the following:
• Caution is advised when using with patients with underlying neurological disorders which may
lead to increased anxiety.
• Unusual body shapes and body postures.
• Other medical devices should be assessed for suitability.
• The Toto lateral turning system should be fully deflated when attempting to leave the bed.
• Ensure that the Toto lateral turning system is discontinued or therapy pause mode is engaged
for feeding times to avoid the risk of spillages.
• During hygiene procedures, please use therapy pause mode.
• When elevating a profiling bed back rest, raise the knee break first.
• Ensure that 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.
• The system should not be used without a mattress.
• Do not strap the mattress to the bed frame as this will prevent Toto lateral turning system from
operating.
• Those identified as being at moderate to high risk of developing pressure ulcers as defined by
commonly used assessment tools.
• Weighing up to 190kg (419lbs).
• Who are unable to change their position without assistance.
• Identified as requiring regular turning and who are non-compliant with manual turning schedules.
Contraindications
• Do not use without a suitable pressure redistribution surface & 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.
• Not to be used where patients must be supported by wedges or pillows etc.
Intended Care Setting
Toto Lateral turning system is intended to be used in the following care settings:
• Long term or extended care, such as nursing homes and care homes.
• Home care.
• If mattress overlays are being used, these must be securely fastened to the mattress, not the
Toto lateral turning system 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. These must be positioned under
the Toto lateral turning system platform.
• Evacuation hammocks must be placed between the Toto lateral turning system platform and
the mattress.
• If using bed sides, check for clearance from the top of the mattress to the bottom of the bed
side (minimum of 185mm) and assess for risk of entrapment.
• 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.
• Do not use if mains power lead or plug is damaged.
• Hospitals.

Instructions for Use
Platform Installation and Operating Guide
To ensure the system is correctly installed and functions smoothly, please follow this step-by-step
guide.
1. Remove all items from the packaging and inspect for damage.
2. The platform should be placed directly onto the bed frame and underneath the existing mattress.
DO NOT strap or fasten the mattress to the bed frame. (A)
G. Connect the Control Unit to the mains
power via the cable supplied.
Patient Positioning
3. Inspect the platform and cover for any visible signs of damage. (B)
4. Ensure the air cells within the platform are secured in position via the Velcro®.
5. Fit the cover and close zip, ensuring the air cell hoses are fed through the apertures at the foot
end of the cover.
Note: The platform cover should be free to move, allowing each side of the platform unrestricted
room to inflate.
6. Using the quick connectors, connect the air inflation hoses to the air cell hoses - 'Red to Red' ensuring the hoses are not twisted or kinked. (C)
7. Check the CPR deflation valves are securely in place to ensure no air leaks. (D)
8. Using the bed hooks, hang the Control Unit on footboard of the bed. (E)
9. Using the quick connectors, connect the air inflation hoses to the Control Unit - 'Black to Control
Unit' - ensuring the hoses are not twisted or kinked. (F)
10. Connect the Control Unit to the mains power via the cable supplied. (G)
Patients should be positioned along the centre line of the mattress by aligning the patients nose
with the centre point of the head board. Ensure head and shoulders are supported to prevent neck
roll and pivoting at the hips during use.
For patients lying on their side, if they can self-support and they are in the middle of the bed, Toto
lateral turning system can be used.
If patients cannot control their limbs and bed sides are being used, padding or net infills are
recommended.
A. The platform should be placed directly
onto the bed frame and underneath the
existing mattress.
D. Check the CPR deflation valves are
securely in place to ensure no air leaks.
B. Inspect the platform for visible signs of
damage.
E. Using the bed hooks, hang the Control
Unit on footboard of the bed.

Care
Disposal
Inspection and care of the platform and cover
Inspect the inner and outer surfaces of the cover and zip fasteners regularly for signs of damage.
Damaged covers should be reported to the ward or department manager or relevant healthcare
professional.
Torn covers should be withdrawn from service, and replacements sought.
Regularly inspect the interior and exterior of the platform, ensuring that the hinges and air cells
remain intact.
The labels on the Toto lateral turning system cover, platform and Control Unit have a unique batch
number which should be retained and used in the event of a warranty claim. NEVER remove the
labels.
Regularly check that the platform has not drifted out of position and the hoses are not blocked,
kinked or twisted.
Fitting / Replacing Damaged Air Cells
In the event of puncture or leak, it is possible to replace either or both air cells. Please contact
Frontier Therapeutics Customer Services for replacement parts Tel: +44 (0) 1495 235800.
1. Switch o the Control Unit and disconnect from mains.
2. Disconnect the air hoses to the platform using the quick connectors.
3. Unzip and pull back the cover revealing the platform.
4. Determine the faulty air cell and remove by unfastening the Velcro® straps.
5. Inspect the platform for other signs of damage, including what could have caused air cells to
have become damaged.
6. Using the Velcro® straps, fit the new air cell ensuring it is in-line with the correct section.
! IMPORTANT In order to minimise hazards to health and the environment and ensure that
materials can be recycled, this product should be disposed of at a separate collection facility for
waste electronic equipment. The Wheelie Bin symbol marked on the product is there to remind
you.
