WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
This device is recommended to be installed on
medical bed frames of an appropriate size with bed
sides or assist rails, to accommodate the device. It is
preferred that the rails are in the raised position
whenever the patient is on the bed. Healthcare
professionals assigned to each case should make the
final decision whether assist rails are warranted
after assessing patient risk of entrapment.
Controls on the foot bed end may be obstructed by
the control unit on a few bed frames. It may be
necessary to relocate the control unit.
— Before placing the patient on the bed, check that
connector and power cord are clear of moving
bed components.
— Operate all motorised bed frame functions
through their full range of motion to be certain
that there is no pulling, interference or pinching.

to eliminate the risk of tripping hazards or
strangulation.
