5.5 Side Rail Operation
The rails are either fully raised or folded down closed. When the side rail is raised to its full height
position it will automatically lock in the positioning hole on the rails clamp plate. The release/lock
knob feature can be both visually and audibly confirmed.
WARNING
Do not operate side rails when there is potential of entrapment, or crushing to the
patient, caregivers, visitors and/or other equipment.
Side Rail Operation
To raise the side:
Lift the top rail
until the magenta locating pin/knob
automatically clicks into its locked
position at maximum height.
To lower the side:
Hold the top
rail near the foot end of the bed
(1)
and gently pull out the magenta
coloured operating knob
(2)
lowering the side towards the foot
of the bed, whilst controlling the
descent speed. As the side begins
to be lowered the operating knob
can be released.
WARNING
•
Care should be taken whilst operating the side rails to ensure hands and fingers are
kept away from potential squeeze hazards.
•
Side rails should only be used after clinical assessment and within organisational
policy and guidelines.
