in the seat as possible, with the buttocks
against the back of the chair.
2. Wrap the foam belt around the patient and
chair backrest. Press the hook and loop
fastener firmly together.
3. Secure the hook and loop fastener in front
of the patient for self-release (Fig. 1), or
behind the patient for assisted-release (Fig.
2). The belt must be snug, but not interfere
with breathing. To check for proper fit,
slide an open hand (flat) between the belt
and the patient
4. Place the belt over the lower lap (Fig. 3) to
hold the buttocks against the backrest and
to help hinder sliding.
5. Wrap the belt under the seat on a part of

slide forward.
Application Instructions:
Hospital Bed
1. Wrap the belt underneath and around a
movable part of the bed frame.
2. Lay the belt over the top of the patient, and
press the hook and loop fastener firmly over
the patient to secure product. The belt must
be snug, but not interfere with breathing. To
check for proper fit, slide an open hand (flat) between the belt and the
patient.
3. For self-release, place the fastener in reach of the patient (Fig. 4). For
assisted-release, place the fastener out of the reach of the patient.
Check that the belt is secure and will not change position, loosen, or
tighten if the patient pulls, or if the bed is adjusted.
This product is designed for self-release. If the patient is not able to
easily self-release, it is considered a restraint and must be prescribed by a physician.
Before use, check device for damage and that hook and
loop adheres securely. Discard device if you have any questions about
patient safety.
If the patient has, poor upper trunk control or has a
tendency to slide or fall off the chair, it should not be used over the
torso in a chair without a belt or pelvic piece over the lower pelvis/
lap area.

• STOP USE AT ONCE: if the patient is at risk to slide forward or
down in the device.
NOTE: A restraint with a pelvic piece will help to reduce the risk
of sliding. See Posey Catalog.
• Before leaving the patient unattended, explain the purpose for
the belt. Make sure the patient understands:
•
the need to call for assistance before exiting the chair; and
•
how to self-release in an emergency.
• 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. 5, 6,
and 7).
• 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. 5, 6, and 7).

Heed these warnings to reduce the risk of serious injury or death:
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS:
BED SAFETY
• ALWAYS use Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup
(HBSW) (http://www.fda.gov search
keyword “HBSW”) 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.
