Special safety notes for use of side rails:
* Use only parts in perfect condition, do not use bent, cracked or damaged side rails.
* Use only original HERDEGEN parts. Side rails from other suppliers won‘t fit correctly on the Home Care bed.
* Before using the side rails evaluate and take in account the physical condition of the patient :
• If the patient is very nervous, restless or confused don‘t use the siderails but other means such as safety belts for
example.
• For very small patients, additional protective measures maybe necessary to reduce the distance between the tubes of
the siderail.
* Use mattresses adapted to the Home Care bed with a maximal height of 14 cm. Mattresses should be fire resistant according
to DIN 597 Part 1 and 2 .
* Should specific antidecubitus mattresses be used, make sure that the side rail has an effective height of 22cm. If not, you must
find solutions in order to ensure the safety of the patient.
* Check regularly the various elements of the siderails (holders, pins, tubes..). In case of damages, immediately remove the
side rail and use a new one.
* Check every week the correct fixation of the side rails, screw again the knurled screws if necessary.
* Make sure, before using the side rail (folding or unfolding) that there are no risk of crushing or squeezing the patient‘s limbs.
Thus, you will avoid severe injuries.
If the upper rules are not followed, there are risks of severe injuries for the patient such as
crush , pinch point injuries and fall risks.
Beware: in case of use of incompatible mattresses, there are risks of severe injuries for the patient !
