The revolutionary design allows the bed to raise the user to a fully standing position and all positions in between including
chair positions.
Among all its clinical obvious benets, the Total-Lift™ Bariatric Bed is the best solution for safe patient handling and safe lifting.
The Total-Lift™ Bariatric Bed is ideal for –
• Hospitals.
• Nursing Homes.
• Assisted Living Facilities.
• Long Terms Acute Care centers.
• Rehabilitation centers.
• Sports rehabilitation centers.
• Homecare – Aging in Place.
With just a press of a button you can bring the patient to any position desired.
The Patented technology of the Total-Lift™ Bariatric Bed, moves the Foot Lifter™ towards the feet of the patient / user, and only
when making contact will start tilting, thus preventing any danger of sliding while tilted.
While the bed tilts, when in proper angle the Foot Lifter™ will gradually move down so when the bed is in fully standing posi-
tion the Foot Lifter will be parallel to oor allowing to simply walk out of bed, with or without assistance.
The patient can also be just tilted, for treatment, in any desired angle, for as long as needed.
The Total-Lift™ Bariatric Bed has all possible bed and chair positions.
The Total-Lift™ Bariatric Bed can come with powered and non powered mattress in any grade.
Weight Bearing control – The Total-Lift™ Bariatric Bed is the only real true“Weight Bearing control device” . Knowing the exact
amount of pressure placed on the lower extremities of the user, which can be increased or decreased by changing the beds
angle.
UNPARALLELED SAFETY
Safety is the top priority of all Vitalgo products. The Total-Lift™ Bariatric Bed incorporates numerous safety features and mecha-
nisms and meets or exceeds the highest standards for medical electric beds.

The integrated safety features include:
• Exclusive self-adjusting Foot-Lifter™ – Automatically moves up to rest under the user’s feet prior to the bed tilting into an
upright position, preventing the user from sliding down in the bed. Embedded micro-switches ensure the user is properly
positioned and that when the bed is in an upright position, the user’s feet are at ground level.
• Vitalgo has adopted all FDA clinical guidance to reduce Entrapment.
• Electronic braking – Hidden casters are electronically lowered to allow mobility and raised to secure stability;
they are automatically raised before the bed can be tilted or the sitting/reclining positioning adjusted.

General Guidelines & Safety Instructions
OPERATING INFORMATION
DO NOT use near explosive gases.
Keep the product a minimum of 12” away from any direct heat source.
Close supervision is necessary when this product is used by or near children or people with disabilities.
Check all parts for shipping damage and test before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use. Contact a qualied
technician for further instruction.
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely.
DO NOT let any individual underneath the bed or in between the raised bed frame components at anytime.
When bed is not to be used for an extended period, unplug electric bed from the wall outlet.
When operating the bed body weight should be evenly distributed over the surface of the bed. DO NOT lay, sit or lean in such
a way that your entire body weight is placed only on raised head or foot sections of the bed. This includes when assisting the
user in repositioning or transferring in or out of bed.
This Warning DOES NOT apply to the Foot Lifter™.
When operating/moving beds, always ensure that the individual utilizing the bed is positioned properly within
the connes of the bed. DO NOT let any extremities protrude over the side or between the bed rails when per-
forming these functions.
If the unit is not working properly, call a qualied technician to examine the unit and repair it.
Keep all moving parts, including the main frame, mattress deck (head and foot sections) and all drive shafts, free of obstruction
(i.e. Blankets/sheets, heating blankets/pads, tubing, wiring, etc. and other types of products using electric cords which may get
tangled around the bed, side rails or legs) during operation of the bed.
ENTRAPMENT WARNING
Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and proper maintenance and use of equipment is required to reduce the risk of
entrapment. Variations in bed rail dimensions, and mattress thickness, size or density could increase the risk of entrapment.
Visit the FDA web site at http://www.fda.gov to learn about the risks of entrapment.
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Assist
rails with dimensions dierent from the original equipment supplied or specied by the bed manufacturer may not
be interchangeable and may result in entrapment or other injury. Mattress MUST t bed frame and assist rails snugly to
reduce the risk of entrapment.
REPLACEMENT PARTS/ACCESSORIES GUIDELINES
VitalGo products are specically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with VitalGo accessories.

with VitalGo products.
Use ONLY VitalGo’s Total-Lift™ Bariatric Bed supplied mattress and connect it to the bed frame according to the instructions in
this manual (see page 37)
8

Bed rails can be deformed or broken if excessive side pressure is exerted on the bed rails. These bed rails are used for the
purpose of preventing an individual from inadvertently rolling out of bed. The bed rails are NOT intended nor may be used
for restraint purposes. If an individual is capable of injuring himself/herself, a physician or a healthcare professional should be
consulted for alternative means of safe restraint.
DO NOT use the side rails as push handles for moving the bed.
Once patient assessment concludes that the patient’s condition increases the chance of entrapment, the bed MUST be in the
at position when left unattended.
Trapeze units must not be used in conjunction with the bed’s operation.
Trapeze units are to be used only for assisting the patient in repositioning or transferring into or out of bed and must be
moved away from the bed as soon as the patient nished using them.
Replacement mattresses and bed side rails with dimensions dierent than the original equipment supplied or specied by the
bed frame manufacturer are not interchangeable.
Variations in bed side rail design, width and thickness or rmness of the mattress could cause/contribute to entrapment. Use
only authorized VitalGo replacement parts and/or accessories otherwise the warranty is void. VitalGo will not be responsible
for any damage or injury that may result.
ELECTRICAL GUIDELINES
DANGER

NEVER operate if the unit has a damaged cord or plug. If it is not working properly, call a qualied technician for examination
and repair.
Keep all electrical cords away from heated or hot surfaces.
Ensure all cables and cords are routed such that they will not become entangled or pinched. Otherwise damage or injury may
result.
DO NOT unplug power cord from junction box.
The pendant and power cords must be routed and secured properly to ensure that the cords DO NOT become entangled,
pinched and/or severed during operation of the electric bed.

REPAIR OR SERVICE INFORMATION
DO NOT open assemblies such as the motors, pendant, junction boxes or gear boxes. No user serviceable parts are inside. Only
qualied technicians are permitted to repair these parts. If unqualied individuals perform any work on these beds, the war-
ranty is void.
