Patient safety
Securing the patient
Siderails
The Hill-Rom® 900 Electric Bed is fitted with long detachable metal or integrated
half-siderails.
If the bed was not originally fitted with siderails, the long siderails can be ordered
as an accessory with the P/N AD271B or AD272B.
Always ensure that there are no obstacles before raising or lowering a siderail (e.g.,
person’s limb, objects, accessories). They are not designed to restrain or immobilize
the patient. No containment devices must be fastened to the siderails (e.g. straps).
Evaluate patients for entrapment risk according to protocol, and monitor patients
appropriately. Ensure that all siderails are fully latched when in the raised position.
Siderails are intended to show patients where the edges of the bed are. They are
not patient-restraining devices. When appropriate, Hill-Rom recommends that
medical personnel determine the proper methods necessary to ensure a patient
remains safely in bed without being constantly observed.
Do not place accessories (respiratory or other medical devices) on the siderail in a
manner that could prevent the siderail from being lowered when emergency access to
the patient is required. The siderails must be handled according to the instructions in
the user manual.
The
AD271B or AD272B
siderails are part of the sleep surface and are
detachable. The siderails are unfolded by raising them on the side of the bed.
When fully raised and locked, the siderails ensure patient protection and help to
reduce the risk of falls.
