Choosing the Right Bed for use with the Posey Bed 8060 Compatible hospital The Posey Bed 8060 is an A-Frame canopy that attaches to a compatible hospital bed. Because the canopy does not include a bed, it is very important to choose the correct hospital bed for proper Beds and safe use. Using the wrong bed may result in serious injury or death to the patient. There are a number of hospital beds in use today, from many manufacturers, which are fully compatible with the Posey Bed 8060. Hospital beds come with either removable head and footboards, or non- removable head and footboards. Compatible hospital beds must meet the following requirements: • Length of bed frame must be ≤ 96” and does not retract < 76” Deck of Bed • Width of bed frame must be ≤ 36” • The height of the bed platform (deck of the bed) from the floor must be able to adjust between 16 16” - 25” and 25 inches. Depending on the features of the bed, operational limits must also be observed when a Posey Bed canopy is in use as described in the User Manual. For example, the head of bed angle can only be raised to ≤ 70° . -

Page 12: Warnings And Precautions
Filler Cushions Canopy Gaps Entrapment Torso Cushion Entrapment risk for certain at-risk patients include canopy gaps. Raising the head of the Posey Bed 8060 will create “gaps” or “pockets” between the head of the bed and the canopy. These areas can cause extreme risk of serious injury or death from entrapment to certain at-risk patients. Keep the mattress flat with the head of the bed down, when an at-risk patient is alone. Use Posey Filler Cushions (Cat. 8021) if an at-risk patient’ s head or body must be elevated (for example, while watching TV, or if called for by the doctor’ s order or the patient’ s care plan). In this case, provide extra monitoring per the facility’ s restraint protocol to ensure that the Posey Filler Cushions (Cat. 8021) cannot be removed by an at-risk patient and that an at-risk patient cannot c rawl under or around the Posey Filler Cushions. If filler cushions are not available, lower the bed to the flat position and use a Posey Torso Cushion (Cat. 8025). To help reduce the risk of suffocation, do the following: • NeveR put a mattress inside the patient area, Risks associated • aLWaYs keep the mattress in the mattress compartment, completely zipped, with suffocation or • Keep tubes or monitoring lines and the Nurse Call Button inside the bed only if allowed Choking by the care plan. - Page 13 NeveR leave a patient alone without proper monitoring.
