Heed these warnings to reduce the risk of serious injury or death:

BED SAFETY

• ALWAYS use Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup (HBSW) (http://www.fda.gov/ cdrh/beds/modguide.html) compliant side rails in the UP position and fill ALL gaps to reduce the risk of entrapment.

•Use side rail covers and gap protectors to help prevent the patient’s body from going under, around, through or between the side rails. A failure to do so may result in serious injury or death if a patient becomes suspended or entrapped. Posey offers a full range of side rail pads and/or gap protectors to cover gaps.
