HALO SAFETY RING - WARNINGS

WARNING! The Halo Safety Ring must only be used with bed systems that are reset

to the manufacturer’s original specifications and that have been individually tested. Do

not assume all bed systems in your facility are the same or set to manufacturer’s origi-

nal specifications. Each bed system must be tested and measured individually. Bed sys­tems should be evaluated, measured, and tested by your assessment team.

WARNING! Improper assessment of the bed system and failure to evaluate the spe-

cific needs of each resident will prevent a correct bed system measurement device
evaluation of certain entrapment zones. This improper assessment could lead to the
possibility of injury or death. Each resident must be evaluated individually. To qualify
for the Halo Safety Ring, a bed system must first meet the following standards:

1. Mattress height must be between 6 and 7 inches.

2. Mattress width must be 36, 37, or 38 inches.

3. Only high-quality mattresses should be used to ensure a proper weight to
compressibility factor.

4. The mattresses used must be the proper length and width per the bed frame
manufacturer’s standards.

WARNING! Mattress compression and gap space creation is the uncontrollable factor

in the failure of bed systems. Resident must be assessed based on body type i.e.
height, weight, girth, etc. Continuous movement in bed increases compression, gap
spaces, and the possibility of injury or death.

WARNING! If you improperly measure, assess, or test a resident or his or her bed

system, the Halo Safety Ring may not provide adequate protection. If the Halo Safety
Ring is installed improperly, it may not provide the intended entrapment protection.

WARNING! Bed systems and each resident should be reevaluated periodically to

ensure that the system still provides the resident adequate entrapment protection.
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
www.fda.gov to learn about the risks of entrapment.

WARNING! Bed system assessments should be conducted within the context of, and

in compliance with, state and federal guidelines related to the use of restraints and
bed system entrapment guidance, including the Clinical Guidance for the Assessment
and Implementation of Side Rails published by the Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup of
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Further information can be obtained at:
www.fda.gov by searching for HBSW.

MODEL: 77301
MODEL: 77302

Go to kundehealthcareservices.com to view installation and testing video.

With the mattress removed, measure the bedframe’s width. Attach both Item 4 to Item 3 using Items 9 and 10.

Use the chart below to determine which setting is appropriate. If the bedframe width straddles two categories,
use the narrowest possible setting the bedframe will allow.

ACTUAL BED FRAME WIDTH:

WIDTH A = 34" < 36"
WIDTH B = 36" < 38"
WIDTH C = 38" < 40"
WIDTH D = 40" < 42"
WIDTH E = 42" < 44"

WARNING! If your facility uses multiple bed systems, each

system must be measured and evaluated separately. All bed
systems must be reset to manufacturer’s specifications and
tested individually. Do not assume all bed systems in your facility
are the same.

HALO SAFETY RING - Rotation Instructions

MODEL: 77301
MODEL: 77302

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The Halo Safety Ring can be grasped by the resident to assist in bed mobility. This can help build strength, increase
independence, and help prevent skin breakdown.

The Halo Safety Ring is designed to rotate ninety degrees (90°) to assist residents during transfers and as a bed mobility
device. Follow the steps for safely rotating the Halo Safety Ring.

In order to rotate the Halo Safety

1

Ring, pinch the detent pins and
rotate the Halo Safety Ring ninety
degree (90°) as shown below.

Detent pins must engage with
