■
Collapsible side-rail can be used to protect a patient on the stretcher from falling off .
[To raise] (to use the collapsible side-rail)
●
When the top bar of the collapsed side-rail is lifted, the stopper automatically locks the side
rail.
●
At this time, check that the indicator window shows completely green.
●
If the indicator shows even a small amount of red, the stopper is not locked
completely. In such a case, lift the top bar again and check that the indicator window
shows completely green before use.
●
If the collapsible side-rail is not completely locked (red shows in the indicator), it may
suddenly collapse when the patient put a handon it or hold it. In such a case, the patient could
fall off the bed or the hand or arm may get caught, resulting in injury.
●
When operating the releasing lever, pay attention not to allow
the hands or fingers to get caught. There is a risk of injury as a
result of being caught by the rotation parts or locking parts.
