■
Be careful not to allow any part of the body to enter the gap between the bed and wall or
surrounding obstacles.
●
There is a risk that a part of the body may get caught, resulting in injury.
■
Do not adjust the side-rails from inside the bed.
●
The side-rails may drop suddenly and there
is a risk of the patient falling off the bed,
resulting in injury.
■
When transporting a patient, raise the side-rails.
●
There is a risk of the patient falling off the bed, resulting in injury.
■
Do not sit on the side-rails, the head board, or the foot board.
●
A patient could fall off the bed, or the bed or side-
rails could be damaged or deformed, resulting in
injury.
■
Take care to prevent a patient from falling off the bed even when side-rails are raised.
●
A patient may fall off the bed through the gap between the side-rails, or a board and side-rail, resulting in
injury.
●
If a patient bends forward over a side-rail, they may fall off the bed, resulting in injury.
■
When leaving the bed area or temporarily taking your eyes off the patient, check
the mattress base angle, bed height, and the side-rail status.
●
If a physician, nurse, or caregiver leaves the bed area or temporarily takes their eyes off the patient,
flatten the mattress base angle and set the bed height at the lowest position according to the patient’s
condition because there is a slight chance that the patient could fall off the bed.
■
Do not allow the bed to be operated by a child aged 12 or under, or someone deemed
incapable of comprehending the operation of the bed.
●
If a child aged 12 or under, or someone deemed incapable of comprehending the operation (such as
persons with dementia) operates the handheld controller by themselves, there is a risk of unexpected injury
such as the body getting caught in the bed by mistake. If such persons can come into contact with the
handheld controller, unplug the power plug in order to prevent accidents caused by incorrect operation.
■
Pay attention to prevent the patient from being compressed during back raising.
●
Especially before birthing, if the back section base is raised excessibly, the patient might be compressed,
resulting in injury.
