IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical products, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING - DANGER!
To reduce the risk of electrocution:
• Always unplug this product immediately after use.
• Do not use while bathing.
• Do not place or store product where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
• Do not place or drop into water or other liquids.
• Do not reach for a product that has fallen into water. Unplug immediately.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire or injury to persons:
• A product should never be left unattended when plugged in.
• Close supervision is necessary when this product is used by, on, or near children or invalids.
• Use this product only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments
not recommended by the manufacturer.
• Never operate this product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has
been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Return the product to a service center for
examination and repair.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• Never block the air openings of the product or place it on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch,
where the air openings may be blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint, hair and the like.
• Never drop or insert any object into any opening or hose.
• Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used.
• Connect this product to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
GROUNDING
Before any connection is made, make certain that this product is connected to a protective earth
conductor via the three-wire power cord; the three-blade plug should be inserted only into a
socket outlet that provides a protective earth contact.
ENTRAPMENT GUIDELINES
The use of Bed Rails is dependent on the setting as well as the facilities protocols. Proactive
Medical does not make product recommendations for any given patient. Those decisions are
the responsibility of the health care facility and/or health care professional(s) familiar with each
patient's unique requirements. Proactive Medical support surfaces are made to fit standard
hospital and health care facility beds. However, variations in bed rail dimensions, mattress
compression based on patient size and shape, conditions such as dementia, seizure disorders,
sleeping problems, incontinence, and restlessness could create an entrapment risk. Proper
patient assessment, monitoring, equipment use, and maintenance are required to reduce
entrapment risk.
