ENTRAPMENT GUIDE Bed Rails in Nursing Homes and the Home Health Care Environment KEY BODY PARTS AT RISK Three key body parts at risk for life-threatening entrapment in the seven zones of a hospital bed system discussed in this guidance are the head, neck, and chest. The body part dimensions used to develop FDA’s dimensional limit recommendations are summarized as follows: Key Body Part... -
Page 20: Potential Zones Of Entrapment
POTENTIAL ZONES OF ENTRAPMENT This guidance describes seven zones in the hospital bed system where there is a potential for patient entrapment. Entrapment may occur in flat or articulated bed positions, with the rails fully raised or in intermediate positions. The seven areas in the bed system where there is a potential for entrapment are identified in the drawing below. - Page 21 Zone 1 — Within the Rails This is any open space within the perimeter of the rail. Openings in the rail should be small enough to prevent the head from entering. A loosened bar or rail can change the size of the space. The HBSW and IEC recommend that the space be less than 120 mm (4-¾...
- Page 22 Zone 3 — Between the Rail and the Mattress This area is the space between the inside surface of the rail and the mattress compressed by the weight of a patient’s head. The space should be small enough to prevent head entrapment when taking into account the mattress compressibility, any lateral shift of the mattress or rail, and degree of play from loosened rails.
- Page 23 Zone 5, 6 and 7 Although seven potential zones of entrapment have been identified by HBSW, FDA is recommending dimensional limits for zones 1-4 because these zones were most frequently reported as having entrapments. FDA continues to receive entrapment reports for Zones 5 and 6, and Zone 7 remains a potential for entrapment FDA will monitor entrapments in these zones and consider harmonization with the IEC standard once it is available.

Zone 7 — Between the Head or Foot Board and the End of the Mattress This is the space between the inside surface of the head board or foot board and the end of the mattress. This space may present a risk of head entrapment when taking into account the mattress compressibility, any shift of the mattress, and degree of play from loosened head or foot boards. -
