5.9 Adjust SafeFree
When using the side guards, particular care and caution should be taken: Side guards are first
and foremost intended to protect the patient. On no account may the side guards be used as
a means to restrain the patient.
As soon as the mobility of the patient or resident is restricted, a court order is
required to use the side guards. Divided side guards or side guards that can be
individually lowered, in which only the head and section is assembled, and which
can be used as a help in getting in and out of bed, are only a permissible exception
for mobile residents or patients.
When using side guards, their suitability should be checked, taking into account the
individual requirements of the respective patient or resident. In particular, the clea-
rances between the panels and supports in relation to the body shape of the patient
or resident must be taken into account, so that entrapment or slipping through is ru-
led out. If necessary, additional side guard cushioning must be used which reduces
the size of the gap or closes it. This decision is exclusively the responsibility of the
medical supervision in charge.
Attention!
If necessary, use a side guard extension to increase the height when using raised
mattress systems. Also use the side guard cushioning available for this (accesso-
ries) as an important additional safety and protection feature.
Attention!
When lowering or raising the side guards, fingers, hands, or other body parts of the
resident could be squashed. Raise or lower the side guards with the highest care.
Only hold the side guards at the positions indicated in the instructions for use.
Attention!
Restless and disoriented people can become trapped in the free spaces of the side
guard. Protect these by using side guard padding.
