Siderails
The Hill-Rom® 900 Accella™ Bed is fitted with built-in half-siderails.
Always ensure that there are no obstacles (patient's limb, objects, accessories, etc.)
before raising, lowering folding or unfolding a siderail. They are not designed to
restrain or immobilize the patient. Restraining straps or other devices must not be
fastened to the siderails.
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.
When fully raised and locked, siderails aims to reduce the risk of falls.
