WARNING: Reducing the Risk of Entrapment
The Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup (HBSW) in partnership with the FDA has recognized potential
entrapment zones in hospital bed systems and has developed dimensional guidance to reduce the
risk of entrapment. The FDA considers the term “hospital bed system” to encompass the bed frame
and its components, including the mattress, bed assist devices, headboards and footboards, and any
accessories to the bed.
The entrapment zones involve the relationship of components controlled by the healthcare facility
or individual user. Compliance to the dimensional guidelines for reducing the risk of entrapment
is primarily the responsibility of the healthcare facility or the individual user. Anyone having any
involvement with hospital bed systems should review and understand the FDA guidelines. These
guidelines, titled “Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce
Entrapment – Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff,” are available on the FDA website.
WARNING: Steps to Reduce the Risk of Fires
• Inspect all cords for damage including the power cord and hand pendant.
• Connect the power cord directly into a wall-mounted outlet that is in good working order, with no
cracks or chips. The plug should fit tightly into the outlet. The ground pin should be intact and secure.
• Do not use power strips, extension cords or multiple-outlet strips. Connect directly to a grounded wall-
mounted outlet.
6
• Do not cover any power cord with rugs, linens, cloths or other products that may cause heat to
build up. Heat may build up or the cord may be damaged.
• Check surrounding equipment for signs of excessive heat or physical damage.
• Inspect the oor beneath the bed for buildup of dust and lint. Ask housekeeping to clean, if necessary.
• Inspect the resident’s bed controls, looking for signs of damage where liquids could leak in.
• Test the bed and its controls, including resident lockout features, to ensure the bed can move freely in
both directions without damaging any cords.
• Keep linens and clothes away from power sources.
• Tell maintenance staff about any unusual sounds, burning odors or unusual movement of bed.
• If you suspect overheating, follow your facility’s policy for re safety and move the resident to a safe
area, if necessary.

Entrapment Warning
Accurate assessment of the resident and monitoring of correct maintenance and equipment use are
required to prevent entrapment. For additional information on product and safety issues for bed frames
and rails, refer to product manuals specific to the product or accessories you have or are planning to
install. If bed frames have been serviced or any other adjustments have been made, you must ensure all
parts are securely back in place before operating the bed. Other manufacturers’ assist rails may not be
compatible and can lead to entrapment issues or harm to residents and staff. Make sure mattress is the
correct size for bed frame and assist rails are secured to frame to decrease risk of entrapment.
On March 10, 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released guidelines for reducing the
risk of hospital bed entrapment, titled, “Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance
to Reduce Entrapment.” This guidance document identifies potential entrapment areas within the
bed frame, rails and mattress and identifies body parts most at risk for entrapment. It also provides
manufacturers with basic design criteria to consider when developing hospital/convalescent beds,
recommends specic test methods to assess the conformance of existing hospital/convalescent bed
systems and answers frequently asked questions about entrapment issues.
The FDA guidance document identifies specific dimensional criteria on potentially injury-threatening
gaps and spaces that can occur between bed system components, such as assist devices when
improperly installed. Panacea’s Long Term Care beds and approved accessories are manufactured to be
in conformance with these guidelines.
Please be aware entrapment issues can still arise when components and accessories are not properly
installed on the bed. It is important for the provider or facility staff to recognize they have an equal role in
complying with the FDA guidelines to help ensure resident safety and avoid injuries.
Copies of this document can be obtained from the FDA website: http://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/
deviceregulationandguidance/guidancedocuments/ucm072662.htm
Assist Rail Warning
Other manufacturers’ assist rails may not be compatible and can lead to entrapment issues or harm to
patients/residents. Only compatible assist rails may be used on this bed. Ensure mattress is the correct
size for bed frame and assist rails are secured to frame to decrease risk of entrapment.
