WARNING
<Falling off>
g
Be careful to prevent the patient from falling off the bed even when side-
rails are raised.
n
The patient may fall through a gap between side-rails, or between a board and side-rail, resulting in
injury.
n
The patient may bend forward over a side-rail and fall off the bed, resulting in injury.
n
When a thick mattress is used, the effective height of the side-rails becomes lower. Be careful
because this makes it easier for the patient to roll over them and fall, which may result in injury.
n
Be especially careful to check a patient who might act in unexpected ways or cannot maintain their
posture independently.
g
When transferring a patient, raise the side-rails.
The patient may fall off the bed, resulting in injury.
g
The side-rails should be operated by the nurse from outside the bed.
If the patient operates the side-rails from inside the bed, the side-rails may go down suddenly and the
patient may fall off the bed, resulting in injury.
g
Do not sit on the side-rails, headboard, or footboard.
The patient could fall off the bed or fall down, or the
bed or side-rails could be damaged or deformed,
resulting in injury.
g
When leaving the bed area or taking your eyes off the patient, check the
mattress deck angle, bed height, and the state of the side-rails and boards.
n
If a physician, nurse, or attendant will leave the bed area or take their eyes off the patient, set the
mattress deck angle to zero (flat) and the bed height to the lowest position according to the condition
of the patient in case of falling off the bed.
n
If a patient cannot maintain a posture independently or has difficulty in walking, raise all side-rails. If
you want to fill the gap between the Foot-end side-rail and footboard when using an extension frame,
use a side-rail spacer/Foot spacer (PC-5112/IC-A33321Q (accessory), see p. 84).
g
Do not transport the bed with the patient on it while the head is raised us-
ing Cardiac Chair motion or the bed is inclined.
The patient may fall from the bed or be caught in a gap, resulting in injury.
