Positioning The Siderails - Stryker InTouch FL27 Manuel D'utilisation

POSITIONING THE SIDERAILS

The bed siderails are designed to allow their lowering using only one hand . They have one lock position which is the
upper position .
WARNING
• Keep siderails in the fully raised position and the sleep surface horizontal in its lowest position when the patient is
unattended, unless its medical condition dictates otherwise . When raising the siderails, be sure that you hear the
"click" that signals the locked condition . Pull firmly on the siderail to ensure it is locked into position .
• Siderails, with or without their padded covers, are not intended to serve as restraint devices to keep patient from
exiting the bed . Siderails are designed to keep a patient from inadvertently rolling off the bed . It is the responsibility
of the attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint necessary to ensure a patient will remain
safely in bed . Failure to use the siderails properly could result in serious patient injury .
