WARNING
Risk Of Death, Injury, Or Damage
To avoid entrapment, product damage, and/or personal injury:
Replacement mattresses and bed side rails with dimensions different from the original equipment supplied or
specified by the bed frame manufacturer are not interchangeable. Variations in bed side rail design, width and
thickness or firmness of the mattress could cause/contribute to entrapment.
Oakworks recommends that the mattress be centered on the bed frame. Otherwise, individuals may become
trapped between the bed rail and the bed frame.
Bed rails can be deformed or broken if excessive side pressure is exerted on the bed rails. These bed rails are used
for the purpose of preventing an individual from inadvertently rolling out of bed. The bed rails are not intended
nor may be used for restraint purposes. If an individual is capable of injuring himself/herself, a physician or a
healthcare professional should be consulted for alternative means of safe restraint.
Patient entrapment from the use of bed side rails may cause injury or death. To avoid patient entrapment:
The Oakworks mattress MUST fit firmly against the bed frame AND bed side rails to prevent patient entrapment.
Monitor patient frequently. Read and understand the User Manual prior to using the PX150 & PX200 beds and
bed rails.
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely.
ALWAYS test to make sure that the side rails are properly and securely in place before using. Otherwise, injury or
damage may occur.
