since hazards could otherwise occur.
When using the side guards, particular care and caution should be taken:
- As soon as the mobility of the patient/resident is restricted, a court order is
required to use the side guards. Only divided side guards or side guards that
can be individually lowered, in which only the head and section is assembled,
and which can be used as a help in getting in and out, are just one permissible
exception for mobile residents/patients here.
Overloading caused by sitting, leaning or pulling on the side rail can result in
serious damage to this and cause hazards. It is essential that such overloa-
ding is avoided.
When using side guards, their suitability should be checked, taking into ac-
count the peculiarities of the respective patient/resident. In particular the
clearances between the panels and supports in relation to the body shape
of the patient/resident must be taken into account, so that entrapment or
slipping through is ruled out. If necessary, additional side guard cushioning
must be used which reduces the size of the gap or closes it. This decision is
exclusively the responsibility of the medical supervision in charge. The details
on the restriction of the intended use in these instructions for use are referred
bed and for the side rail.
Only side guards may be used on the beds which are also permitted for that
particular bed type, since increased risk of accident could otherwise occur.
The side rails/side guards must be checked each time before they are used for
possible damage, and checked that they are securely attached to the bed and
that the safety lock functions correctly! Details on the correct handling of the
side guard can be found in the respective product instructions for use.
The use of the manual remote control by the resident/patient himself lies ex-
clusively at the discretion of and in the responsibility of the medical supervi-
sion and nursing staff in charge. Corresponding measures should be noted in
the shift report or in the nursing documentation to guarantee a correct shift
handover and traceability of usage rights.
If the manual remote control is not to be used by the resident/patient himself,
then it must be protected from being accessed by this person and from beco-
ming trapped, for example by attaching it to the foot end of the bed.
