Be careful not to allow any part of the body (especially the head or neck) to enter the gap between
the side-rail and the mattress base or the mattress. When the head or neck enters the gap, the patient
might not be able to withdraw, and there is a risk of injury.
●Be especially careful to check patients who might act in unexpected ways or cannot maintain their
posture independently.
●Do not adjust the side-rails from inside the bed. The side-rails may drop suddenly and there is a risk
of injury caused by a patient falling off the bed.
●Do not let patient lean against the side-rail while it is raised. The patient may lose a balance and
there is a risk of injury caused by a patient falling off the bed.
●Do not place legs on the side-rail while it is lowered. The bed could turn over, resulting in injury.
●When raising side-rails, make sure that the side-rails are locked. If the side-rails are not completely
locked, they may move unexpectedly, resulting in injury.
●Take care to prevent the intravenous tubes or the drain tubes from getting caught. When operating
the side-rails, tubes could get caught between the side-rail and mattress and be damaged, resulting
in injury.
●When performing the height adjustment or inclination angle adjustment with the side-rail lowered,
do not place legs under the side-rail. There is a risk of getting caught, resulting in injury.
●When operating the side-rails, make sure that the patient’s hands or feet have not entered the gap
between the side-rail and mattress base. When the hands or feet enter the gap, the patient could get
caught in the gap, resulting in injury.
●When operating the side-rail with the back section base raised, operate the side-rail with caution.
Depending on the back section base angle, the side-rails may move unexpectedly and there is a risk
of injury.
