BED SAFETY

Posey Seizure Pads are form fitted to fit snugly over the existing bed side
rails with a 1” (3 cm) layer of medium density foam to help safeguard
against accidental patient injury. The outer shell is constructed from
lightweight sheer nylon denier to help prevent patient “rub” burns and
allows unobstructed movement of the side rails to the lowered position.
The nylon cover is backed with a urethane waterproof coating that easily
wipes clean with liquid disinfectant. Open windows in upper section allow
for easy access to controls on most bed models. Navy Blue. Meets CA #117,
Section E Flame Retardancy Standards.

Monitoring

Posey Seizure Side Rail Pads will not prevent a determined
patient from exiting the bed, going over or attempting to go between or
through side rail gaps. Not all hospital beds allow for full articulation
when this product is applied. Slowly articulate the head of the bed to
ensure compatibility. ALWAYS follow your facility’s policies and
procedures for patient assessment, monitoring and rehabilitation.

Application Instructions:

1. Inspect product prior to use. DO NOT use soiled or damaged products.

2. Identify each of the components in the set. Each pad has sewn-in tags,

identifying its intended location from the perspective of lying down in
the bed (Fig. 1).

3. Slip each of the pads onto the proper side rail and move it into

position (Fig. 2).

4. Securely fasten all the hook and loop fasteners along the bottom edge

of each pad. Some pads may have an additional hook and loop fastener
in their mid-section (Fig. 3).

5. Lower each of the side rails to check clearances. Note that there may be

some resistance as the rails are completely lowered. This should be
expected as there are close manu facturing tolerances between the bed
and the side rail. The shear nylon covers are chosen to minimize any
potential binding.

6. Check for proper fit. Modified beds may not be compatible with Posey

Seizure Side Rail Pads.
