Indications
The RotoRest System is indicated for the treatment and prevention of pulmonary complications
as a result of immobility and is suitable for adult patients with:
■ Thorax trauma or rib fractures
■ Lumbar vertebra fracture
■ Cervical or skeletal extension after primary stabilization
Contraindications
The RotoRest System must not be used for:
■ Patients with a body weight of over 150 kg
■ Uncontrolled intracranial pressure
The RotoRest System must not be used as a primary medium for stabilizing
fractures of the cervical spine or for a cervical extension. An external fixation with
a halo brace and halo body jacket or operative stabilization is required for this
purpose.
Safety Precautions
In the following cases, the risks and benets of positioning therapy should be discussed with a
physician:
■ Hemodynamic instability
■ Uncontrollable diarrhea
■ Pronounced restlessness or uncontrollable claustrophobia
■ Bone extension
■ Severe pain or discomfort
During an extension, it is possible that the patient may slip in the system. If
necessary, a suitable restraint should be provided in these cases.
Prior to commencing Kinetic Therapy, all supply and drainage lines should be
checked, taking into account the maximum rotation angle, to minimize the risk of
them being trapped, disconnected or accidentally removed.
Applications
■ Intensive care units or other areas where the patient is under constant observation
