FiG. 5 FiG. 4 FiG. 6
• A restraint applied incorrectly or worn backwards may result in
serious injury or death from suffocation, chest compression or
patient escape.
• NEVER criss-cross straps directly behind the patient. Straps
may loosen if the patient rotates.
• Make sure straps cannot slide, loosen, or tighten if the patient
pulls on them, or if the bed or chair seat position is adjusted.
The patient may suffocate if the straps tighten. If the straps
loosen, serious injury or death may occur from: patient escape;
or from chest compression or suffocation if the patient
becomes suspended in the restraint.
BED SAFETY
• ALWAYS use Hospital Bed Safety
Workgroup (HBSW) (http://www.fda.
gov/cdrh/beds/modguide.html)
compliant side rails in the UP position
and fill ALL gaps to reduce the risk of
entrapment.
• Use side rail covers and gap protectors to help prevent the
patient’s body from going under, around, through or between the
side rails. A failure to do so may result in serious injury or death if
a patient becomes suspended or entrapped. Posey offers a full
range of side rail pads and/or gap protectors to cover gaps.
• There is a risk of chest compression or suffocation if the
patient’s body weight is suspended off the mattress or chair
seat. Use extreme caution with chair cushions. If a cushion
dislodges, straps may loosen and allow the patient to slide off
the seat (figs. 4, 5, and 6).
• Monitor per facility policy to ensure that the patient cannot
slide down, or fall off the chair seat or mattress and become
suspended or entrapped (figs. 4, 5, and 6).
Heed these warnings to reduce the risk of serious injury or death:
ADDitionAl WArninGs:
• STOP USE AT ONCE: if the patient has a tendency to slide
forward or down in the device; or is able to self-release.
NOTE: A restraint with a pelvic piece will reduce the risk of
sliding, or of the patient pulling the device over his or her head.
See Posey Catalog.
Before use, check device for damage. Discard if you have
any questions about patient safety.
1. Place the device on the patient with the opening in the back. Make
sure side seams are located under the arms. If they are not, the
sizing may be incorrect.
2. Close with the zipper, or hook and loop fasteners.
3. Secure straps to the wheelchair or bed frame, out of the patient’s
reach (See below).
4. Slide an open hand (flat) between the device and the patient to
ensure proper fit. The device must be snug, but not interfere with
breathing.
notE: Remove tension on the connecting
straps and protect the quick-release
buckles by adding an additional stress
relief point on the connecting strap. This
is achieved by wrapping the straps once
around a movable part of the bed frame
and securing it/them to a second point on
the same part of the bed frame using a quick-release buckle (fig. 3).
