ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND LAUNDERING
INSTRUCTIONS ON OTHER SIDE
Before use, check device for damage. Discard if you have
any questions about patient safety.
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.
• Monitor per facility policy to ensure that the patient cannot slide
down, or fall off the mattress and become suspended or
entrapped (figs. 2 and 3).
• 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.
FIG. 2 FIG. 3
• There is a risk of chest compression or suffocation, if the patient’s
body weight is suspended off the mattress (figs. 2 and 3).
Heed these warnings to reduce the risk of serious injury or death:
