Simultaneous use of functions for TurnAid T4 and the care bed.
TurnAid T4 does not affect the functions of the bed. ONLY REMEMBER to loosen the turning sheet
before elevating
the bed’s ba
ck, thigh, or foot part.
Normally, you make the bed flat before the use of TurnAid T4. In some situations, it may be an
advantage to raise the bed’s
backrest or footrest section before turning. If the patient is wide
across the hips and at the same time narrow across
the shoulders, a slight raise of the bed’s
backrest of footrest section during turning will provide a better positioning of the patient.
Prior to raising the
bed’s
headrest or footrest, TurnAid T4 must be adjusted to
"working-
position"
.

Simultaneous use of 2 hand controls/1 hand control
As standard, TurnAid T4 will be supplied with one handset. It is possible to add another handset
or foot controls. It is possible to use up to 2 handsets and 2 foot controls simultaneously.
With several operating units, you cannot activate several functions on each single control at the
same time. Excepted from this is loosening of the turning sheet, i.e. simultaneous use of
.
With 2 hand controls, 2 persons can carry out transfer/turning without having to pass the hand
control from one person to the other. Each person can have one hand control on his/her side of
the bed.

Speed Control
The TurnAid handset and foot control both have a new function. Pressing the button
Speed
Control
it is now possible to change between 3 different speeds: 100% - 75% - 50%. This
means that if a patient feels insecure, the turning procedure can be carried out more slowly.

Placement of sheet
👉
A slide sheet is placed directly on the bed
’
s mattress. On top of this, the turning
sheet is placed and attached to the 2 motor rolls - respectively the
green
and the
red
, NEVER place anything between the slide sheet and the turning sheet. This will
impact on the sliding effect. For placement of both sheet types, always make sure
that the bed is in a flat position!
The below instructions for placement of slide and turning sheet, respectively, are without
the patient in the bed. However, both the slide and the turning sheet can be changed with
the patient in the bed.
