3.3 Side rails guards
To open one side of the bed, use 2 hands, with one hand on the handle and the other
pushing the lever located under the bed frame, move the half-rail downwards with a
rotating movement, move the half-rail until it stops in its lowest position.
To close the half-rail, pull it up with a twisting motion. Then make sure the half-rail is
locked in its highest position by trying to move it from left to right.
WARNINGS ON THE USE OF SIDERAILS
Side rails are designed to prevent accidental falls only. They must not be used to
prevent the patient from leaving the bed, to help the patient turn around in the bed
or as a means of restraint. It is the operator's responsibility to use appropriate
restraints, in the interest and for the safety of the user;
Make sure that nothing can impede the movement of the side rails (blankets,
patient's limbs, etc.) before operating them, to avoid the risk of injury.
Unless otherwise advised by a physician, leave the sides of the bed raised and locked
when the user is unattended or asleep, to avoid the RISK OF FALLING. In addition, it
is preferable to leave the bed at its lowest height, to limit the risk of injury in the
event of a fall.
When the half-rail is raised to the closed position, always check that the mechanism
is securely locked to avoid the RISK OF FALLING.
Ensure that the feet are not under the appliance when the base is lowered to its
lowest position. When the side panels are lowered, they may come into contact with
the feet and raise the side panel slightly.
