WARNINGS
Trapeze units must be positioned on a bed end as close as
possible to the center point of the bed end.
The bed is not designed to be used as a patient transport.
When transporting a patient, use an approved patient
transport device. Otherwise, injury or damage may result.
The bed may be equipped with locking casters. When
transferring into or out of the bed, always lock the locking
caster(s). Inspect for correct locking action on caster locks
before using bed. Even with casters properly locked, some
flooring surfaces such as tile or wood, will allow the bed
to move under some conditions. Use on surfaces such as
these must be evaluated by the care provider.
The initial set up of this bed must be performed by a
qualified technician.
The total weight limit of the Drive Medical 36 inch (91.4cm)
wide Manual/Semi-Electric/Full Electric bed is 450 pounds
(204 kg) which includes the weight of the occupant, all
accessories such as mattress, side/assist rails, trapeze,
any personal effects, etc.
Example: If total weight of mattress and all accessories is
100 lbs, then total occupant weight can be no more than
350 lbs.
Use this bed only for its intended use as described in these
instructions.
DO NOT
use attachments not recommended
by the manufacturer.
After raising/lowering the head/foot end of the bed, check
the distance between the bottom of the bed rail and the
mattress. If there is excessive distance between the
bottom of the bed rail and the mattress in which individuals
may become entangled, adjust the height of the bed rail
(if applicable), or provide alternative means of patient
protection.
Once patient assessment concludes that the patient’s
condition increases the chance of entrapment, the bed
MUST
be in the flat position when left unattended.
Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and proper
maintenance and use of equipment is required to reduce
the risk of entrapment. Variations in bed rail dimensions,
and mattress thickness, size or density could increase the
risk of entrapment. Visit the FDA website at http://www.fda.
gov to learn about the risks of entrapment.
Replacement mattresses and bed side rails with
dimensions different than the original equipment supplied
or specified by the bed frame manufacturer are not
interchangeable. Variations in bed side rail design, width
and thickness or firmness of the mattress could cause/
contribute to entrapment. Use only authorized Drive
Medical replacement parts and/or accessories otherwise
the warranty is void. Drive Medical will not be responsible
for any damage or injury that may result.
To reduce the risk of entrapment make certain that the bed
rail cross braces
DO NOT
exceed the width of the mattress.
Mattress
MUST
fit bed frame and side rails snugly to
reduce the risk of entrapment.
When operating this bed,
ALWAYS
ensure that the
individual utilizing the bed is positioned properly within the
confines of the bed.
DO NOT
let any extremities protrude
over the side or between the bed rails when performing
these functions.
Drive Medical recommends that the mattress be centered
on the bed frame. Otherwise, individuals may become
entangled between the bed rail and the bed frame.
Mattress

fit bed frame and assist rails snugly to
reduce the risk of entrapment.
