WARNING:
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:
• 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.
NOTE:
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.
