Safety Tips
To help prevent the risk of hospital bed fires, make sure facility personnel follow the
safety tips in the FDA Public Health Notification: Safety Tips for Preventing Hospital Bed
Fires.
Bed Positions
WARNING:
It is recommended that the bed be in the low position when the patient is
unattended. This may reduce the severity of any resultant injuries from patient
falls.
WARNING:
When a patient’s condition (such as disorientation due to medication or clinical
condition) could lead to patient entrapment, the sleep deck should be left in the
flat and lowest position while unattended (except when required otherwise by
medical staff for special or particular circumstances). Failure to do so could result
in patient injury.
Brakes
WARNING:
Unless transporting the patient, always set the brakes when the bed is occupied.
Reconfirm that the brakes are set before any patient transfer. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Brakes should always be set when the bed is occupied and especially when moving a
patient from one surface to another. Patients often use the bed for support when getting out
of bed and could be injured if the bed moves unexpectedly. After setting the brakes, push
and pull the bed to make sure it is stable.
Fluids
WARNING:
Fluid spills onto the bed electronics can result in a hazard. If such a spill occurs,
unplug the bed, and remove it from service. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
When fluid spills occur outside that seen in normal use, immediately do the following:
•Unplug the bed from its power source.
•Remove the patient from the bed.
•Clean the fluid spill from the bed system.
•Have maintenance examine the system completely.
Do not put the bed back into service until it is completely dry, tested, and determined to be
safe to operate.
