Patient safety
Immobilize patients on the bed using the fittings provided.
The sleep surface has three fittings on each side of the bed located on the head,
thigh and foot sections.
Thread the straps through the bars.
Restraining devices must not be used as a replacement for the nursing care required
by the patient. Even when correctly installed, physical restraining devices may become
entangled and injure the patient or even cause death, especially if the patient is
agitated and confused. Whenever containment devices are used, the patient must be
observed in accordance with legal requirements and protocol.
Restraining devices must be secured to the articulated sections of the bed using
appropriate attachment points in order to avoid injury to the patient.
Never use restraining straps for the ankles when the bed is in the seated position or
the foot section is lowered.
Adjust the restraining systems and articulations so as to prevent any risk of the patient
slipping or moving.
