OVERVIEW
Thank you for choosing the Advantage Rail / Pole Portable from HealthCraft.
Please read and understand the instructions in this manual; keep manual for future
reference. It is your responsibility to see that your Advantage Rail / Pole Portable is
properly assembled, installed, and cared for. Failure to follow instructions in this
manual could result in serious injury or death. If you are not equipped to undertake
the outlined work, we would recommend that you have your Advantage Rail / Pole
Portable installed by a qualified contractor.
The Advantage Rail Portable is a high quality, commercial grade pivoting and
locking horizontal bar that connects to a floor mounted mast. The horizontal bar can
be lifted, pivoted and lowered to the next locking position around the mast. The
Advantage Rai Portable is intended for moderate vertical and horizontal load
bearing to provide sitting and standing support for people with reduced mobility.
The Advantage Rail Portable mast is installed to a structural floor. Inside the mast is
a locking mechanism for the horizontal bar: a castellated collar with 8 grooves
(every 45 degrees) to provide a mechanism strong enough to support the user. It is
important to set proper height and orientation of the Advantage Rail Portable to
optimize the user’s range of motion. The maximum user weight is dependent on
model. Note: Product is not intended to support full body weight. The Advantage
Rail Portable is not to be used in any other way than described above.
The Advantage Pole Portable is a high quality, commercial grade floor mounted
support pole. The Advantage Pole Portable is intended for moderate vertical and
horizontal load bearing to provide sitting and standing support for people with
reduced mobility. The Advantage Pole Portable mast is installed to a structural floor.
The maximum user weight is dependent on model. Note: Product is not intended to
support full body weight. The Advantage Pole Portable is not to be used in any
other way than described above.
WARNING - PATIENT ENTRAPMENT (see additional guidelines)
The potential risk of entrapment (limb, neck, head, torso) between the bed rail and
adjacent item (i.e. mattress, headboard, sidetables, etc.) can be reduced or
avoided by the following strategies:
1. Situate the bed rail at a distance that is considerably smaller or larger than that
which could result in entrapment.
2. Consider situations that could change with time or usage such as mattress compression,
patient movement, bed position changes due to electrically powered beds, etc.
3. Realize that this product is not intended as a physical constraint or barrier to
exiting the bed.
