DANGER! Risk of Death, Injury or Adverse Health Consequences Fall hazard exists due to incorrect installation of bed rails - To avoid injury, ensure that the Invacare bed rails are installed correctly and securely attached to the bed while entering or exiting. Fall hazard exists due to use of non-Invacare bed rails. Non-Invacare bed rails are potentially incompatible with Invacare beds. - To avoid injury, ensure that only Invacare bed rails are used with Invacare beds at all times. Fall hazard exists due to use of non-Invacare mattresses. Non-Invacare mattresses are potentially incompatible with Invacare beds. - To avoid injury, ensure that only Invacare mattresses are used with Invacare beds at all times. 1143215-B-01 Operation DANGER! Risk of Death, Injury or Damage To avoid entrapment, product damage and/or personal injury: - When used with a manual/electric bed, the bed rails DO NOT fall under any weight limitations. Bed rails can be deformed or broken if excessive side pressure is exerted on the bed rails. These bed rails are used for the purpose of preventing an individual from inadvertently rolling out of bed. The bed rails are not intended nor may be used for restraint purposes. If an individual is capable of injuring himself/herself, a physician or a health care professional should be consulted for alternative means of safe restraint. - After raising/lowering the head/foot end of the electric bed, check the distance between the bottom of the bed rail and the mattress. If there is excessive distance between the bottom of the bed rail and the mattress in which individuals may become entangled, adjust the height of the bed rail (if applicable), or provide alternative means of patient protection. - DO NOT use the side rails as push handles for moving the electric bed. - Replacement mattresses and bed side rails with dimensions different from the original equipment supplied or specified by the bed frame manufacturer are not interchangeable. Variations in bed side rail design, width and thickness or firmness of the mattress could cause/contribute to entrapment. 25

DANGER!
Risk of Death, Injury or Damage
To avoid entrapment, product damage and/or personal
injury:
–
When used with a manual/electric bed, the bed rails
DO NOT fall under any weight limitations. Bed rails
can be deformed or broken if excessive side pressure
is exerted on the bed rails. These bed rails are used
for the purpose of preventing an individual from
inadvertently rolling out of bed. The bed rails are
not intended nor may be used for restraint purposes.
If an individual is capable of injuring himself/herself,
a physician or a health care professional should be
consulted for alternative means of safe restraint.
–
After raising/lowering the head/foot end of the electric
bed, check the distance between the bottom of the
bed rail and the mattress. If there is excessive distance
between the bottom of the bed rail and the mattress
in which individuals may become entangled, adjust
the height of the bed rail (if applicable), or provide
alternative means of patient protection.
–
DO NOT use the side rails as push handles for moving
the electric bed.
–
Replacement mattresses and bed side rails with
dimensions different from the original equipment
supplied or specified by the bed frame manufacturer
are not interchangeable. Variations in bed side rail
design, width and thickness or firmness of the mattress
could cause/contribute to entrapment.
