horizontal crossbars or vertical side bars.
• The mattress must be tight against the assistive handrail, with no gaps at all times. This should
be checked frequently, at least daily.
• For added safety we recommend installing two WaveRails, one on each side of the bed, to assist
with keeping the mattress in place, with no gaps. CAUTION: If the bed base is wider than the
mattress, two rails will NOT work.
