Entrapment May Occur

ƽ WARNING

Patient entrapment with bed side rails may cause injury or death. Mattress MUST

fit bed frame and side rails snugly to prevent patient entrapment. Follow the

manufacturer’s instructions. Monitor patient frequently. Read and understand the

Owner’s/Operator’s Manual prior to using this equipment. Invacare product

manuals are available at www.invacare.com or your dealer.

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, located at www.invacare.com. Use the link located under each bed rail

product entry to access this bed safety guide.

Refer to the owner’s manuals for beds and rails for additional product and safety

information.

After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching

hardware is tightened securely. Assist rails with dimensions different from the

original equipment supplied or specified by the bed manufacturer may not be

interchangeable and may result in entrapment or other injury.
