• 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.
• 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.
6, 7, and 8).
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.
• Caregivers must ALWAYS check to ensure IV
access zippers are closed to protect IV lines and site, or prevent removal of
the device.
ApplicAtion instructions:
• 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.
