Side-rails with or without their padded covers or nets are not intended to serve as restraint
devices to keep patient from exiting the bed. Side-rails are designed to keep a patient from
inadvertently rolling off the bed. It is the responsibility of the attending medical personnel to
determine the degree of restraint necessary to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed. Failure
to utilize the side-rails properly could result in patient injury.
Installing the Side-rail Pads
1. Place side-rail in the up position.
2. Insert angled extremity first of either head or foot
side-rail into the pad and slide pad to completely
cover the side-rail.
3. Zip pad and fasten snaps.
