When used with a manual/electrical bed, side rails DO NOT fall under any weight limitations. Side rails can be deformed or broken if excessive side pressure is exerted on the bed rails. Side rails are used for the purpose of preventing an individual from inadvertently rolling out of bed. Side rails are NOT intended nor may be used for restraint purposes. If an individual is capable of injuring himself/herself, a physician or a healthcare professional should be consulted for alternative means of safe restraint. ! ENTRAPMENT WARNING Accurate assessment of the patient/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 side 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 Side 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 27 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 injury-threatening gaps and spaces that can occur between bed system components, such as side rails when improperly installed. Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare's 15561/15571 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.

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 moved. · 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. 39 · 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.
