Safety sides – all models, full length and folding
Only use Arjo safety sides that are designed and
specified for use with this bed. Incompatible safety sides
can cause a hazard.
Safety sides should be fitted either by a properly trained person or, due to
the size and shape of these items, by two people if they are unfamiliar with
the installation procedure.
Safety sides must always be used with a suitable mattress of the correct
size; refer to page 12 for more information.
The maximum recommended mattress thickness for use with
standard height safety sides is 150mm.
Extra-height safety sides can be used with mattresses or mattress
combinations up to 172mm thick.
Safety Side Height Extension and Full Length Standard Height
Wooden Safety Sides can be used with a mattress and mattress
overlay up to 265mm thick.
The clinically qualified person responsible should consider the size, age
and condition of the patient before allowing the use of safety sides.
Safety sides are not intended to restrain patients who make a deliberate
attempt to leave the bed.
Always run the cable from the control handset between the safety side and
the frame of the bed.
Do not use the safety sides or safety side height extensions to move or lift
the bed.
When using a powered air mattress system, the air supply tube for the
mattress should be positioned between the safety side and the frame of
the bed.
Safety side contact points are identified by this symbol. Take care
to keep hands and fingers away from these areas.
