Split side rails
WARNING
The clinically qualified person responsible should consider the age,
size and condition of the patient before allowing the use of split side
rails.
Split side rails are not intended to restrain patients who make a
deliberate attempt to exit the bed.
Ensure that the mattress is suitable for use with split side rails - see
"Mattresses and split side rails" on page 17.
To prevent possible entrapment, make sure the patient's head and
limbs are clear of the split side rails when adjusting the mattress
platform.
Split side rail contact points are identified by this symbol.
Keep hands and fingers away from these areas.
