Sizewise Evolution - IEC Bed Rail Entrapment Standards

46
This bed complies with IEC 60601-2-38 standard for bed rail entrapment. Below are the
specifications of that standard. This was taken from the 60601-2-38 Amend. 1 IEC 1999.

DESCRIPTION
DIMENSION
A
Smallest dimension between elements inside
the perimeter of the SIDE RAIL in its
raised/locked positions or perimeters created
between the SIDE RAIL and fixed parts of
the BED.
≤ 120 mm
B
Thickness of NORMAL USE mattress.
Specified by the manufacturer
C
Height of the top edge of the SIDE RAIL
above the mattress (see B) without
compression.
> 220 mm
D
Distance between segmented SIDE RAIL
with the MATTRESS SUPPORT
PLATFORM in the flat position.
≤ 60 mm
Or
> 235 mm
E
Smallest dimension of any accessible
opening between the SIDE RAIL and the
MATTRESS SUPPORT PLATFORM in
the flat position.
≤ 60 mm
Or
> 235 mm
F
Smallest dimension of any accessible
opening between the SIDE RAIL and the
MATTRESS SUPPORT PLATFORM in
the flat position.
If D or E >
235 mm then
F ≤ 60 mm
If D or E ≤ 60
mm then F ≤
120 mm
G
Total length of the SIDE RAIL or sum of
the length of segmented SIDE RAILS on
one side of the BED.
∑ Gx > half the length of the
MATTRESS SUPPORT
PLATFORM
