Mattress
and side rails
When choosing bed and mattress combinations, it is important to
consider the use of side rails based on clinical assessment of each
individual patient and in line with local policy.
When assessing the suitability of a mattress for use with side rails, the
following factors should be considered:
The bed is designed to provide an acceptable side rail height when
used with a foam mattress up to 19cm thick.
Specialist powered air / foam replacement mattresses will typically
envelop the patient when loaded and can generally be deeper than
a foam mattress without compromising safety. Other makes of
specialist mattress replacement must be assessed individually prior
to use to verify sufficient clearance is maintained.
Mattress overlays are not recommended for use with this bed.
To ensure compliance with EN 60601-2-52:2010, an approved
mattress should be used. Compliance with this standard when
using other mattresses must be validated by the user.
For more information on suitable mattresses and mattress
replacements, contact your local approved distributor.
