DANGER!
Risk of Death, Injury, or Damage
Variations in bed rail dimensions, and mattress
thickness, size or density could increase the risk
of entrapment.
– Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and
proper maintenance and use of equipment is
required to reduce the risk of entrapment.
– Visit the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov to
learn about the risks of entrapment. Review "A
Guide to Bed Safety", published by the Hospital
Bed Safety Workgroup. Use the link located
under each bed rail product entry to access this
bed's safety guide.
DANGER!
Risk of Death, Injury or Adverse Health
Consequences
Fall hazard exists due to incorrect installation of
bed rails
– To avoid injury, ensure that the Invacare bed
rails are installed correctly and securely attached
to the bed while entering or exiting.
Fall hazard exists due to use of NON-Invacare
bed rails. Non-Invacare bed rails are potentially
incompatible with Invacare beds.
– To avoid injury, ensure that only Invacare bed
rails are used with Invacare beds at all times.
DANGER!
Risk of Death, Injury or Damage
Patient entrapment from the use of bed side
rails may cause injury or death. To avoid patient
entrapment:
– The Invacare mattress MUST fit firmly against
the bed frame AND bed side rails to prevent
patient entrapment. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions. Monitor patient frequently. Read
and understand the User Manual prior to using
the Invacare bed and bed rails. User manuals
are available at www.invacare.com or your
dealer.
– After any adjustments, repair or service and
before use, make sure all attaching hardware is
tightened securely.
DANGER!
Risk of Death, Injury or Damage
Conditions such as restlessness, mental
deterioration and dementia or seizure disorders
(uncontrolled body movement), sleeping
problems, and incontinence can significantly
impact a patient's risk of entrapment. Pediatric
patients or patients with small body size may also
have an increased risk of entrapment.
– Monitor patients with these conditions
frequently.
– Place mattress deck in the flat position when
left unattended.

DANGER!
Risk of Death, Injury or Damage
To avoid entrapment, product damage and/or
personal injury:
– When used with a manual/electric bed, the bed
rails DO NOT fall under any weight limitations.
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.
– After raising/lowering the head/foot end of the
electric 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.
– DO NOT use the side rails as push handles for
moving the electric bed.
– Replacement mattresses and bed side rails
with dimensions different from the original
equipment supplied or specified by the bed
frame manufacturer are not interchangeable.
Variations in bed side rail design, width and
thickness or firmness of the mattress could
cause/contribute to entrapment.
DANGER!
Risk of Death, Injury or Damage

knobs, bolts, screws etc., should be secured or
replaced.
– Sharp edges or surfaces should be corrected or
replaced.

DANGER!
Risk of Death, Injury or Damage
