Use the Drainage Bag and Patient Restraint Holders
WARNING:
Patient restraints are not intended as substitutes for good nursing practices.
Physical restraints, even correctly installed, can result in entanglement, physical
injury, and death, particularly with agitated and disoriented patients. Monitor
patients when using physical restraints in accordance with legal requirements and
facility protocol.
WARNING:
Restraints must be attached to the articulating sections of the system at the
correct attachment points. Failure to do so may result in patient injury.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed the load capacity of the drainage bag holders. Equipment damage
could occur.
Drainage bag holders are mounted on the
center of the bed. The safe working load of
each drainage bag holder is 5.5 lb (2.5 kg).
The holders may be used for any
combination of these drainage devices:
•Fecal incontinence bag
•250/2000 ml Foley collection bag
•PLEUR-EVAC®

on foot end holders
(during transport only)
When the bed is docked, put the PLEUR-EVAC® device or other chest drainage devices
on the floor, clear of the bed so there is space for bed movement.
The drainage bag holders facilitates the use of vest, wrist, waist, and ankle restraints.
Hill-Rom makes no recommendation regarding the use of physical restraints. Users should
refer to legal restrictions and applicable facility protocols before physical restraints are
used.
