WARNING!
IMPROPER INSTALLATION CREATES A RISK OF ENTRAPMENT
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.
• 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 & understanding 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 density 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 cannot 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 (90º) 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.
