Intended Use
Product Description
Toto is an automated lateral turning system which consists of a Toto Touch control unit and a
lightweight, roll-able turning platform with cover.
Designed to assist with patient turning and pressure ulcer prevention plans, the system is designed
around inflating alternating air cells within the turning platform positioned underneath the patient's
mattress. The patient is then turned laterally via the mattress surface.
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.
The Toto lateral turning system does not replace pressure relieving and redistribution surfaces and
is supplementary to their use.
Bedsides should be used to help prevent patient egress and increase the feeling of security.
