The total weight limit of the:

Drive Medical #15300 42-inch (107cm) wide Bariatric bed

(including accessories, mattress, occupant and any other per-

son/object positioned on the bed) is 600 pounds (272 kg); 500

pounds (227 kg) patient weight.

Drive Medical #15302 48-inch (122cm) wide Bariatric bed

son/object positioned on the bed) is 750 pounds (340 kg); 650

pounds (295 kg) patient weight.

Drive Medical #15303 54-inch (137cm) wide Bariatric bed

900 pounds (408 kg) patient weight.

Use this bed only for its intended use as described in these

instructions. DO NOT use attachments not recommended by

the manufacturer.

After raising/lowering the head/foot end of the bed, check the

distance between the bottom of the bed rail and the mattress. If

there is excessive distance between the bottom of the bed rail

and the mattress in which individuals may become entangled,

adjust the height of the bed rail (if applicable), or provide

alternative means of patient protection.

Once patient assessment concludes that the patient's condition

increases the chance of entrapment, the bed MUST be in the

flat position when left unattended.

Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and proper main-

tenance 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 entrap-

ment. Visit the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov to learn

about the risks of entrapment.

Replacement mattresses and bed side rails with dimensions

different than the original equipment supplied or specified by

the bed frame manufacturer are not interchangeable. Varia-

tions in bed side rail design, width and thickness or firmness

of the mattress could cause/contribute to entrapment. Use only

authorized Drive Medical replacement parts and/or accesso-

ries otherwise the warranty is void. Drive Medical will not be

responsible for any damage or injury that may result.

To reduce the risk of entrapment make certain that the bed rail

cross braces DO NOT exceed the width of the mattress. Mat-

tress MUST fit bed frame and side rails snugly to reduce the

risk of entrapment.

When operating this bed, ALWAYS ensure that the individual

utilizing the bed is positioned properly within the confines of

the bed. DO NOT let any extremities protrude over the side or

between the bed rails when performing these functions.

Drive Medical recommends that the mattress be centered on

the bed frame. Otherwise, individuals may become entangled

between the bed rail and the bed frame.

Mattress MUST fit bed frame and assist rails snugly to reduce

the risk of entrapment.

BED RAIL WARNINGS

Assist rails with dimensions different from the original equip-

ment supplied or specified by the bed manufacturer may not

be interchangeable and may result in entrapment or other

injury.

Although bed rails are not rated to any specific weight limita-

tion, the bed rails may become deformed or broken if exces-

sive side pressure is exerted on the bed rails. The bed rail is

not an assist rail for getting into or out of bed. DO NOT use

the bed rails as push handles when moving the bed.

Always test to make sure that the side rails are properly and

securely in place before using the bed.

DO NOT install the optional bed rails without reading and

understanding all of the instructions in the instruction sheet

that accompanies the bed rail kit.

DO NOT use the side rails as push handles for moving the

bed.

These bed rails are intended to prevent an individual from

inadvertently rolling out of bed. DO NOT use for restraint

purposes.

When used with a manual/electrical bed, the bed rails DO

NOT fall under any weight limitations. Bed rails can be de-

formed or broken if excessive side pressure is exerted on the

bed rails. These bed rails are used for the purpose of prevent-

ing an individual from inadvertently rolling out of bed. The

bed rails are NOT intended nor may be used for restraint pur-

poses. If an individual is capable of injuring himself/herself, a

physician or a healthcare professional should be consulted for

alternative means of safe restraint.
