POSITIONING THE SIDERAILS
The bed siderails are designed to allow their lowering using only one hand. They have one lock position which is the
upper position.
WARNING
• Keep siderails in the fully raised position and the sleep surface horizontal in its lowest position when the patient is
unattended, unless its medical condition dictates otherwise. When raising the siderails, be sure that you hear the
“click” that signals the locked condition. Pull firmly on the siderail to ensure it is locked into position.
• Siderails, with or without their padded covers, are not intended to serve as restraint devices to keep patient from
exiting the bed. Siderails are designed to keep a patient from inadvertently rolling off the bed. It is the responsibility
of the attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint necessary to ensure a patient will remain
safely in bed. Failure to use the siderails properly could result in serious patient injury.

To Raise the Siderails (Figure 1.1)
