Joerns assist devices or side rails are designed to be used

with specific Joerns bed frames. Once mounted on the

appropriate bed frame, assist devices or side rails become

an integral part of the Joerns bed system. As such, these

mounted assist devices or side rails can handle the same

safe working load, within normal use conditions, of the

appropriate bed to which they are mounted.

When assessing the risk for entrapment, you need to

consider your bed, mattress, head/foot panels, assist

devices and other accessories, as a system. It is also

extremely important to review the resident/patient's physical

and mental condition and initiate an appropriate individual

care plan to address entrapment risk. All Joerns bed systems

are evaluated for compliance to the FDA/CDRH "Hospital

Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to

Reduce Entrapment."

Assemble, install, utilize and maintain Joerns Side Rails/

Assist Devices as described in their accompanying Joerns

User/ Service Manual, which also lists the bed type or model

with which these devices may be used.

This product is only one part of your healthcare bed

system. Proper combinations of mattress, head/foot panels

and assist devices are needed to minimize the risk of

entrapment.
