Foam Surface
The foam surface is an all-foam, modular, three-layered foam
system with a viscoelastic core. The foam surface reduces
patient pressure.
The foam surface is for use with patients weighing between 200
and 500 lb (91 and 227 kg) who need a pressure reducing foam
surface.
The foam surface is designed to work with the following system
features:
•
Step deck
•
Shearless Pivot® Patient Position Mechanism
•
FlexAfoot™ Retractable Foot Mechanism
•
FullChair® Patient Position Mechanism
•
FullChair® Patient Egress Position Mechanism
Loose fitting sheets (preferably knitted) must be used for correct operation of the sleep surface.
WARNING:
Use extreme care when transferring a patient from one surface to another. Use facility
protocol for patient transfer. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Care should be used while raising the head section above 50° to prevent the wedging of
extremities between the siderails and the mattress. Failure to do so can result in personal
injury.
Fluoroscopy
The fluoroscopy provides a radiolucent head section that measures
23" L x 22" W (58 cm x 56 cm).
The radiolucent head section allows a caregiver to perform fluoroscopy of patients from
head to waist when the patient is lying flat. Fluoroscopy of the patient’s head and chest
cavity is possible when the head section angle is at 75°.
IntelliDrive® Transport System
The IntelliDrive® Transport System is a permanently attached powered drive mechanism built into the bed. This
mechanism deploys or stows based on the position of the brake/steer pedal and AC power availability. It is activated by
applying pressure to the transport handles located at the head end of the bed. This allows the caregiver to propel the
TotalCare® Bariatric Bed and TotalCare® Bariatric Plus Therapy System during patient transport with minimal applied
force.
