IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Warning
Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare support surfaces are designed as mattress replacement systems. The risk of
entrapment may occur when mattresses are placed on bed frames that do not properly fit and leave gaps
between the mattress and head panel, foot panel and bed or side rails. This system is NOT to be used
when such gaps are present.
User/Facility staff are responsible for ensuring that all mattresses properly fit the bed frames. Drive
DeVilbiss is not responsible for the improper placement of its systems on ill-fitting bed frames. Health care
professionals assigned to each patient should make the final determination whether side or assist rails are
warranted after assessing patient risks based on the individual's needs and condition.
An optimal bed system assessment should be conducted on each patient by a qualified clinician or
medical provider to ensure maximum safety. The assessment should be conducted in compliance with
the state and federal guidelines related to the uses of restraints and bed system entrapment guidance
including but not limited to the below:
