Posey Bed 8060 23
Introduction
Safe Transfers and
Care
Patients using the Posey Bed 8060 should be carefully monitored and cared for according to the
doctor’s orders and the patient’s care plan. Given normal, everyday care such as feeding or using
the bathroom, this section addresses how to:
• Move the patient into the bed
• Access and care for patient in the bed
• Transfer the patient out of the bed
• Conduct the “Quick-Check 10” before leaving patient alone
Regular Daily Patient Care
Safely moving the patient and completing patient care inside the Posey Bed 8060 includes a number of
factors:
• Patient size
• Medical condition
• Disability
• Ability to move
Moving the patient to or from the bed will be different for patients who are able to stand instead
of patients who must be lifted to or from the bed.
NEVER use a patient lift for
transfer unless it has been
tested to make sure there is
enough room under the canopy
frame to do so safely. Using a
patient lift that has not been
tested may result in damage to
the canopy. The clearance of
the opening side access panel is
69” W x 50” H (175 cm x 127 cm).
NOTE: The frame at the bottom
of the Posey Bed 8060 is
open on one of the four sides.
ALWAYS access the patient
from the open frame side. The
open frame allows easy access
for using lifts and/or scales.
