3.9.4 Quad Siderails
Your Spirit Plus™ or Spirit Select™ bed comes with moulded plastic Quad siderails as standard equipment.
Operation of the Quad Siderails
It is important that caregivers know how to operate the Quad siderails safely. The Quad siderails lock in
the UP position and enables patient ingress, egress, and transfer in the DOWN position.
In the UP position, Quad siderails provide positive
patient location and support helping to protect the
patient from the potential of falling from the bed.
IMPORTANT: An audible “click” should be heard
when each siderail assembly has been completely
rotated into the UP position as the locking
mechanism engages.
The DOWN position the Quad siderails fully rotate
out of the way to provide unimpeded and
unassisted patient ingress to and egress from the
bed and also enables patient transfer by staff.
IMPORTANT: The siderails will not lock in the
DOWN position.
Raising the Foot Siderails
Gently rotate the foot siderail to the UP
position. The foot siderail will first arc
toward the foot end of the bed then
back towards the head end of the bed as
it rotates to the UP position.
IMPORTANT: An audible “click” should
be heard when the foot siderail has been
completely raised to the UP position as
the locking mechanism engages.
Lowering the Foot Siderails
Depress the green push button then
gently push down on the foot siderail.
The foot siderail will first arc towards the
foot end of the bed then back towards
the head end of the bed as it rotates to
the DOWN position.
IMPORTANT: The foot siderails will not
lock in the DOWN position.
