sheets supplied with this product or optional equipment. If you are unable to

These bed rails are intended to prevent an individual from inadvertently rolling out
of bed. DO NOT use for restraint purposes.
DO NOT use the bed rails as push handles for moving the bed.
ALWAYS test to make sure that the bed rails are properly and securely in place
before using.
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction
with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not
been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.
Although bed rails are not rated to any specific weight limitation, the bed rails may
become deformed or broken if excessive side pressure is exerted on the bed rails.
This bed rail is not an assist rail for getting into or out of bed. DO NOT use the bed
rails as push handles when moving the bed.
ENTRAPMENT WARNING
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 bed rail dimensions, and 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. Review “A Guide to Bed Safety”, published
by the Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup, located at www.invacare.com. Use the link
located under each bed rail product entry to access this bed safety guide.
