ROTATING ASSIST RAIL/BAR INSTALLATION (Option)
ASSIST RAIL/BAR WARNING
Other manufacturers assist rails/bars may not be compatible and can lead to
entrapment issues or harm to patients/residents. Only compatible assist rails/bars may
be used on this bed. Make sure bed frame is adjusted correctly for mattress size being
used and assist rails/bars are properly secured to frame to decrease the risk of
entrapment.
ENTRAPMENT WARNING
The risks associated with these devices used in conjunction with specialty mattresses and
mattress overlays have not been evaluated. When these specialty mattresses or
mattress overlays are used, the end user facility must take steps to ensure that the
therapeutic benefit outweighs the risk of entrapment.
ASSIST RAIL/BAR WARNING
Assist rails/bars are intended only to assist the resident during bed entry and exit. These
devices are not side rails nor are they intended to be used in a manner that makes user
entry or exit more difficult.
CAUTION
The bed may become UNSTABLE due to interference between the rotation assist bar/rail
and the floor when lowering the bed. An unstable bed may tilt and /or cause possible
damage or personal injury.
CRUSH HAZARD
Crush hazard exists between the assist rails/bars and the floor when in the lowest position
which may cause injury to oneself or others. Do NOT place feet beneath the assist
rails/bars.
WARNING
When routing cables from other equipment in the medical bed, precautions shall be
taken to avoid squeezing between parts of the medical bed.

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 the assist rails are secured to
frame to decrease the 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 entitled; “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 those
body parts most at risk for entrapment. It also provides manufacturers with basic design
criteria to consider when developing hospital/convalescent beds; recommends specific
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 injurythreatening gaps and spaces that can occur between bed system components, such as
side rails when improperly installed. Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare’s Long Term Care beds
and approved accessories are manufactured to be in conformance with these
guidelines.
Please be aware that 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.

APPENDIX
SPECIAL NOTE
For your convenience, we have provided the April 2010edition of the FDA’s guide to bed
safety. This information from the FDA’s brochure, published by Hospital Bed Safety
Workgroup, is replicated verbatim; the latest version is available at http://www.fda.gov.
A Guide to Bed Safety Bed Rails in Hospitals, Nursing Homes and Home Health
Care: The Facts
Bed Rail Entrapment Statistics
Today there are about 2.5 million hospital and nursing home beds in use in the United
States. Between 1985 and January 1, 2009, 803 incidents of patients* caught, trapped,
entangled, or strangled in beds with rails were reported to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration. Of these reports, 480 people died, 138 had a nonfatal injury, and 185
were not injured because staff intervened. Most patients were frail, elderly or confused.
* In this brochure, the term patient refers to a resident of a nursing home, any individual
receiving services in a home care setting, or patients in hospitals.
Patient Safety
Patients who have problems with memory, sleeping, incontinence, pain, uncontrolled
body movement, or who get out of bed and walk unsafely without assistance, must be
carefully assessed for the best ways to keep them from harm, such as falling. Assessment
by the patient’s health care team will help to determine how best to keep the patient
safe. Historically, physical restraints (such as vests, ankle or wrist restraints) were used to
try to keep patients safe in health care facilities. In recent years, the health care
community has recognized that physically restraining patients can be dangerous.
Although not indicated for this use, bed rails are sometimes used as restraints. Regulatory
agencies, health care organizations, product manufacturers and advocacy groups

encourage hospitals, nursing homes and home care providers to assess patients’ needs
and to provide safe care without restraints.
The Benefits and Risks of Bed Rails
Potential benefits of bed rails include:
Aiding in turning and repositioning within the bed.
Providing a hand-hold for getting into or out of bed.
Providing a feeling of comfort and security.
Reducing the risk of patients falling out of bed when being transported.
Providing easy access to bed controls and personal care items.
Potential risks of bed rails may include:
Strangling, suffocating, bodily injury or death when patients or part of their body
are caught between rails or between the bed rails and mattress.
More serious injuries from falls when patients climb over rails.
Skin bruising, cuts, and scrapes.
Inducing agitated behavior when bed rails are used as a restraint.
Feeling isolated or unnecessarily restricted.
Preventing patients, who are able to get out of bed, from performing routine
activities such as going to the bathroom or retrieving something from a closet.
Meeting Patients' Needs for Safety
Most patients can be in bed safely without bed rails. Consider the following:
Use beds that can be raised and lowered close to the floor to accommodate
both patient and health care worker needs.
Keep the bed in the lowest position with wheels locked.
When the patient is at risk of falling out of bed, place mats next to the bed, as
long as this does not create a greater risk of accident.
Use transfer or mobility aids.
Monitor patients frequently.
Anticipate the reasons patients get out of bed such as hunger, thirst, going to the
bathroom, restlessness and pain; meet these needs by offering food and fluids,
scheduling ample toileting, and providing calming interventions and pain relief.
When bed rails are used, perform an on-going assessment of the patient’s physical and
mental status; closely monitor high-risk patients. Consider the following:
Lower one or more sections of the bed rail, such as the foot rail.
Use a proper size mattress or mattress with raised foam edges to prevent patients
from being trapped between the mattress and rail.
Reduce the gaps between the mattress and side rails.
Which Ways of Reducing Risks are Best?
A process that requires ongoing patient evaluation and monitoring will result in
optimizing bed safety. Many patients go through a period of adjustment to become
comfortable with new options. Patients and their families should talk to their health care
planning team to find out which options are best for them.

Patient or Family Concerns About Bed Rail Use
If patients or family ask about using bed rails, health care providers should:
Encourage patients or family to talk to their health care planning team to
determine whether or not bed rails are indicated.
Reassure patients and their families that in many cases the patient can sleep
safely without bed rails.
Reassess the need for using bed rails on a frequent, regular basis.
