Risk prevention
Improper use of the device Primo
™
can result in risks for the patient or the user. The
following recommendations must be read and followed.
In view of the multitude of models of frames and siderails, and for
safety reasons, Hill-Rom advises that all necessary precautions must
be taken, especially with regard to the height of the siderails and the
dimensions of the sleep surface. If this device is used on a bed with
siderails that are less than 22cm above the mattress, patients must not
be left unattended.
For safety reasons, it is advisable to use the lock-out functions of the bed in the
following situations:
• during all interventions on the patient or the device (e.g.: examinations,
transfers, maintenance);
• if the patient suffers from particular behavioral difficulties (e.g. : agitation,
confusion, disorientation, obsessional behavior and aged and frail patients).
Properly trained medical staff should determine how the device should be used
and the required level of monitoring or constraint.
