Bed System Entrapment Information
Although essential in the practice of long-term care,
bedside assists, in recent years, have also been a
subject of regulatory review and evolution in design
and use.
That focus includes not only the challenge of achieving
an appropriate balance between patient security and
unnecessary restraint, but also the additional safety
issue of entrapment.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
working with our company and other industry
representatives has addressed the potential danger
of entrapment with new safety guidelines for medical
beds. These guidelines recommend dimensional limits
for critical gaps and spaces between bed system
components.
Entrapment zones involve the relationship of
components often directly assembled by the
healthcare facility rather than the manufacturer.
Therefore, compliance is the responsibility of the
facility.
As the leading manufacturer of long-term care beds
and a frontrunner in addressing this critical issue,
Joerns Healthcare can o󰀨er you the expertise,
assistance and products to bring your facility into
compliance.
Joerns Compliance Solutions
Matching the right bed components in order to meet
regulatory guidelines can be complex.
That is why Joerns o󰀨ers a wide array of compliance
options. We assist customers in selecting compliant
accessories recommended for their specic bed
model.
Creating a Safer Care Environment
While the guidelines apply to all healthcare settings,
(hospitals, nursing homes, and at home), long-term
care facilities have particular exposure since serious
entrapment events typically involve frail, elderly, or
dementia patients.
