Bed System Entrapment Information
In April 1999, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) in partnership with representatives from the
hospital and post-acute bed industry, including
Joerns Healthcare, national healthcare organizations,
resident advocacy groups, and other federal agencies
formed the Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup (HBSW).
The workgroup’s goal is to improve the safety of
bed frames for patients and residents in all health
care settings who are most vulnerable to the risk of
entrapment. The efforts of the FDA and the HBSW
culminated in the FDA’s release of recommended
guidelines intended to reduce the risk of entrapment,
including dimensional limits for critical gaps and
spaces between bed system components and clinical
guidance for assessment and implementation of bed
side rails in various health care settings.
Entrapment zones involve the relationship of
bed components often directly assembled by the
healthcare facility rather than the manufacturer.
Therefore, compliance is the responsibility of the
facility.
As the leading manufacturer of long-term care beds
and a frontrunner in addressing this critical issue,
Joerns Healthcare can offer you the expertise,
assistance and products to bring your facility into
compliance.
