These bed rails are intended to prevent an individual from inadvertently rolling out of bed. DO NOT use for
restraint purposes.
DO NOT use the bed rails as push handles for moving the bed.
ALWAYS test to make sure that the bed rails are properly and securely in place before using.
Although bed rails are not rated to any specific weight limitation, the bed rails may become deformed or broken
if excessive side pressure is exerted on the bed rails. This bed rail is not an assist rail for getting into or out of
bed. DO NOT use the bed rails as push handles when moving the bed.
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Invacare accessories.
Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for
use with Invacare products.
Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and proper maintenance and use of equipment is required to reduce
the risk of entrapment. Variations in bed rail dimensions, and mattress thickness, size or density could increase
the risk of entrapment. Visit the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov to learn about the risks of entrapment.
Review "A Guide to Bed Safety", published by the Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup.
Refer to the bed owner's manuals for additional product and safety information.
Mattress MUST fit bed frame and bed rails and/or positioning device snugly to reduce the risk of entrapment.
After any adjustments, repair or bed service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened
securely. Rails and/or positioning devices with dimensions different from the original equipment supplied or spec-
ified by the bed manufacturer may not be interchangeable and may result in entrapment or other injury.
