POSSIBLE DAMAGE OR INJURY. Side rails do not fall within any weight limitations
and may be damaged if excessive pressure is placed on them. Side rails are for
the purpose of aiding in turning and repositioning within the bed and are not
intended to be used for restraint purposes.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. When using side rails, use a mattress thick
enough and wide enough so that the gap between the top of the mattress and the
bottom of the side rails and the gap between the side of the mattress and the
side rails is small enough to prevent a patient from getting his or her head or
neck between the mattress and the side rail. Assure that articulating the bed,
head section or foot section does not create any hazardous gaps. Failure to do so
could result in injury or possible suffocation.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. When using side rails, only use side rails that
can be positioned so that the gap between the headboard or foot board and the
side rails is small enough to prevent a patient from getting his or her head or
neck between the mattress and the side rail or large enough that the trunk and
hips can easily pass through it. Assure that articulating the bed, head section or
foot section does not create any hazardous gaps. Failure to do so could result in
injury or possible suffocation.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. When using side rails, only use side rails in
which any gaps between the rail body members are small enough to prevent a
patient from getting his or her head or neck inside the rail body. Failure to do so
could result in injury or possible suffocation.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. When using multiple side rails on one or both sides of
the bed, only use side rails that can be positioned so that the gap between the
side rails is large enough that the trunk and hips can easily pass through it.
Assure that articulating the bed head section or foot section does not create any
hazardous gaps.
OVERBED TABLES
POSSIBLE DAMAGE OR INJURY. Be alert of hi/lo adjustment of overbed table when
raising bed.
TRAPEZE
POSSIBLE DAMAGE OR INJURY. Position trapeze unit as close to the center of the
bed as possible. Only use trapeze units to assist patients in repositioning or
transferring in or out of the bed.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. Trapeze units used with the bed are not designed to
hold patient's total weight. Applying excessive weight may cause unit to fail and
injury to occur.
