Bed Rail Safety
WARNING:
If bed rails are not properly installed and adjusted, personal injury and / or
damage to the bed rail could result.
WARNING:
Patient entrapment with bed side rails may result in serious injury or death.
Use only with coherent patients capable of avoiding entrapment. Patients at risk of
entrapment include those who have problems with memory, sleeping, incontinence, pain,
uncontrolled body movement or who get out of bed and walk unsafely without assistance.
For at-risk patients, use only with proper bed side rail protective barriers. There is also an
increased risk of entrapment when bed rails are used in conjunction with a low air loss
product.
WARNING:
Bed rails are not restraining devices. If restraint is required, use only proper
protective restraints. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable regulations.
Monitor patient frequently.
WARNING:
DO NOT push or pull the bed by the bed rails.
WARNING:
When the patient is lying on the bed in supine position, always lower the bed
completely and raise the side rails.
WARNING:
GF Health Products, Inc. assumes no responsibility for any damage or
injury caused by improper installation of bed rails or unauthorized bed rail use. Only
Gendron bed rails are recommended for use with 3648 Bariatric Beds. Please consult
the instructions that accompany your Gendron bed rails for complete rail assembly and
