Installing/Raising/Lowering The Bed Rails - Probasics 8035 Assembly, Installation And Operating Instructions

INSTALLING/RAISING/LOWERING THE BED
RAILS
PMI recommends that the mattress be centered on the bed frame.
Otherwise, entanglement may occur between the bed rail and the bed frame.
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 bed
pressure is exerted on the bed rails. These bed rails are used for the purpose
of preventing an individual from in advertently 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.
After raising/lowering the head/foot end of the manual/electric bed, check the
distance between the bottom of the bed rail and the mattress. If there is
excessive distance between the bottom of the bed rail and the mattress in
which entrapment may occur, adjust the height of the bed rail (if applicable),
OR provide alternative means of patient protection.
