Posey Bed 8060
4
INTRODUCTION
The Posey Bed 8060 is an A-frame canopy system. When attached to a compatible hospital bed (not
included), the 8060 is designed to help provide a safe, controlled environment for patients at extreme risk
of injury from a fall or unassisted bed exit.
Because the bed is a restraint, its use must be prescribed by a licensed doctor. Anyone interacting with the
bed must complete the Posey Bed 8060 In-Service Training Program, which includes the ability to use the
manual.
The Posey Bed 8060 was designed to:
1.
Create a controlled patient environment
2.
Reduce the risk of unassisted bed exit
3.
Reduce the risk of patient falls
4.
Avoid the risk of a patient being trapped under a mattress
5.
Eliminate the need for side rails when the patient is alone, which mitigates the risk of the patient
becoming trapped in the side rails, or between the mattress and side rails
Improper use of the Posey Bed 8060 may lead to serious injury or death. Patient monitoring should be
determined by hospital protocol, a doctor, and the patient care plan. As with any less restrictive restraint
system, it is important to understand when the Posey Bed 8060 is needed, when it should not be used,
and the dangers related to entrapment, suffocation, choking and falls.
