Posey Twice-As-Tough 2792 Application Instructions

Posey
Application Instructions for Wrist or Ankle
DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT: Padded limb restraints with double-security
closure. For bed and stretcher use only.
INTENDED USE:
• Patients assessed to be at risk of disrupting life-saving treatments
(e.g., chronic tube pulling) or in danger of injury to themselves or to others.
• Follow your hospital's restraint policies and procedures that are compliant
with USA CMS guidelines and state laws, or other governing agencies outside
the USA.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: None
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: The order of either application or removal of the
straps to the bed OR the cuff to the patient is to be determined by the clinician.
CAUTION: Posey Keys MUST be readily available to staff at all times. In an
emergency, it is difficult to cut the cuffs with scissors to free the patient. Follow
these steps to apply device (repeat steps 1-2 on each side):
1. Bring the ends of the strap down through the inside
of the side rails so they do not interfere when the side
rails are raised. Thread the end of the strap over the top,
around the frame, at least once, and through the lock.
Make sure that the straps are attached to the frame that
moves with the patient (Fig. 1) (do not attach to side rail
or head/footboard), out of the patient's reach.
2. Pull the strap(s) snug and close the lock. Check that the lock "clicks" shut. If a
lock is not completely closed, it can pop open. Before leaving the patient's side,
test the lock by trying to open it without the key.
APPLYING THE CUFFS: (Repeat steps 1-3 for each side):
1. Wrap the neoprene piece around wrist/ankle so the
buckle and connecting strap is on the ulnar side of the
wrist or lateral malleolus of the ankle. Attach the black
hook-and-loop pieces together and pull back the black
pull tab on the blue or red fuzzy piece, followed by
the blue or red hook-and-loop pieces. The fuzzy piece
should be sandwiched between the two pieces of hook
(Fig. 2). Be sure to overlap at least one inch (3 cm).
2. Press the hook-and-loop closure together firmly and
make sure it adheres securely. Slide ONE finger (flat)
between the cuff and the inside of the patient's wrist/
ankle to ensure proper fit (Fig. 3).
3. 2792/2793: Pass the end of the limb strap over the top
of the cuff and through the two D-rings on the cuff. Bring
the strap back over the first ring and through the second
D-ring on the cuff (Fig. 4). Slide one finger (flat) between
the cuff and limb strap.
2798/2799: Pass the end of the short strap through the lock and adjust it to
the desired length. Check that the lock "clicks" shut. If a lock is not completely
closed, it can pop open. Before leaving the patient's side, test the lock by trying
to open it without a key.
ADJUSTING STRAP LENGTH: Adjust the connecting strap(s) length from the
frame to allow desired freedom of movement without compromising patient or
caregiver safety. Ensure the remaining strap end(s) are secured and out of the
reach of the patient.
