Seven Zones of Bed Rail Entrapment
Bed rail entrapment is a serious health risk that can result in serious injury or even death.
Sizewise recommends the care provider be mindful of the FDA guidelines relevant to bed
rail entrapment, as serious injury can result. These guidelines can be found on the FDA
website. When using an Air Therapy system the care provider is responsible for ensuring
the mattress properly fits the bed frame. It is also the care provider’s ultimate decision
whether or not to use bed rails with the patient.
Safety Tips
If the ground is not properly connected to the electrical leakage test point a false reading
may occur.
Medical equipment should not be used, stacked or located on or around equipment that
may create electromagnetic interferences.
Using other manufacturer’s cables and accessories may affect EMC performance.
Unauthorized use of these items will void warranty and could result in patient and/or user
injury as well as damage to equipment or other property.
The use of cables or accessories other than those for which the bed was designed or tested
can significantly degrade emissions and immunity performance.
Radio wave sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, two-way radios and cellular phones can affect this bed. Following the
warnings listed for electromagnetic interference should reduce the chance of the bed’s
unintended movement that could result in serious injury.
It is very important to read the information regarding the possible effects of
electromagnetic interference on the SW Advantage™.
The bed is to be used in accordance with each facility’s policies and procedures.
Possible fire hazard when used with oxygen administering equipment other than the
nasal, mask or 1/2 bed length type tent. Oxygen tent should not extend below the
mattress support level. If foot control is installed, lock hand control at foot of bed when
using oxygen administering equipment.
Electric shock may occur when plugging the bed into the wall outlet. Use ONLY
grounded or hospital grade outlets.
DO NOT use the bed if the power cord is cut, frayed or loosely connected to the bed.
Pay close attention to pinch points on the bed to avoid injury to the patient and/or care
provider.
During transport, use caution so the bed does not tip or overbalance. Failure to do so
could result in patient and/or user injury as well as damage to equipment or other
property.
