To ensure the safe and proper installation of the Bariatric Bed Rail, these
instruction MUST be followed:
DO NOT install or use this equipment without first reading and
understanding these instructions. If you are unable to understand the
Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer
or technical personnel before attempting to install this equipment-
otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
PMI recommends the use of two (2) sets of half length bed rails one (1)
set at the HEAD END of the bed ,and one (1) set at the FOOT END of the
bed where permitted.
When used with a manual/electrical bed, the bed rails DO NOT fall under any
weight limitations. Bed rails can be deformed or broken if excessive 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.
Replacement mattresses and bed rails with dimensions DIFFERENT than the
original equipment supplied or specified by the bed manufacturer are NOT
interchangeable. Variations in bed rail design, width and thickness or firmness
of the mattress could cause/contribute to entrapment. Use ONLY authorized
PMI replacement parts.
PMI products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction
with PMI accessories. Accessories designed by other manufactures have
not been tested by PMI and are NOT recommended for use with PMI
products.
DO NOT use the bed rails as push handles when moving the bed.
This bed rail is NOT a handhold for getting into or out of bed.
