WARNING!
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.
