The Canopy Bed is intended for use during a patient's sleeping hours to
prevent falls and wandering while others in the house are sleeping. It is not
intended to be used for extended periods when the patient is awake and
unsupervised.
Enclosed beds are intended for medically fragile patients with chronic
illness such as cerebral palsy, brain trauma or other severe disability. They
are not intended to restrain a difficult but otherwise healthy child or adult.
•
Do not leave patient unattended when any one of the mesh panels is open.
Always raise side rails when patient is unattended and position bed at lowest
•
level.
If Bed is equipped with optional Head Elevation Crank, do not leave an active
•
patient unattended when the head of the bed is raised.
Zippers must be secured with attached ties to prevent patient from exiting bed
•
unsupervised. Ties should be routinely inspected to make sure that they are
secure. Space is provided on page 2 of this manual to record inspections.
If double-zipper opening is used for equipment access, make certain that the
•
opening does not allow the patient to reach the zipper pulls. You may want to
secure the two zipper pulls together with Velcro ties to prevent the patient
from opening the enclosure.
The mattress should be routinely inspected for tears in the vinyl cover.
•
Replace the mattress if tears are evident.
Do not substitute the mattress provided with this bed with any other type or
•
size of mattress. The mattress must fit snugly to prevent gaps which may
entrap the patient.
