• Serious injury or death can result if the Halo Safety Ring is not properly installed.
• DO NOT use this product or any available optional equipment without first completely reading & under-
standing these instructions. If you are unable to understand the warnings, cautions or instructions, contact
customer service at (800) 564-9248 for assistance before attempting to use this equipment - otherwise,
injury or damage may occur.
• The Halo Safety Ring is not intended to prevent an individual from inadvertently rolling out of bed. DO
NOT use the Halo Safety Ring for restraint purposes. DO NOT use to transport or move bed.
• ENTRAPMENT MAY OCCUR. Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and proper maintenance and
use of equipment is required to reduce the risk of entrapment. Variations in mattress thickness, size or den-
sity could increase the risk of entrapment. Visit the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov to learn about the
risks of entrapment.
• Remove bed rails and all bed rail mounting brackets prior to installation of the Halo Safety Ring.
• The Halo Safety Ring is rated for use with patients weighing up to 1000 lbs. Although the Halo Safety
Ring is rated for such use, it may become deformed or broken if excessive force is exerted on the device.
• After installation, verify the mattress is in firm contact with the Halo Safety Ring and that the mattress can-
not shift away.
• Detent pins used to rotate the Halo Safety Ring must be engaged with
holes in the Halo Bracket prior to use, refer to Figure 1.
• The Halo Safety Ring must be perpendicular (90 degrees) to the bed if
used to assist the user out of a chair. Detent pins must be engaged with
the holes in the Halo Safety Ring bracket prior to use as a patient assist.
IN ORDER TO AVOID ENTRAPMENT, THE MATTRESS MUST REMAIN IN FIRM CONTACT
WITH THE HALO SAFETY RING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BED. IF A HALO SAFETY RING IS
ONLY INSTALLED ON ONE SIDE OF THE BED, THE MATTRESS MUST ALSO REMAIN IN
FIRM CONTACT WITH THE MATTRESS STAY/BRACKET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BED.
