POSITIONING SIDERAILS
The bed siderails are designed to allow their lowering using only one hand. They have one locked position: in the upper
position. They can be tucked away against the mattress support when not in use.
WARNING
To help reduce the number and severity of a potential fall when the patient is unattended, keep the siderails in the fully
raised position and the sleep surface horizontal in its lowest position, 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 lower the head siderail, lift the yellow
lever (A) using one hand and rotate the
siderail downward toward the head end
of the bed until it is completely lowered.
Stow the siderail by pushing it against the
mattress support.
To lower the foot siderail, the same
procedure is required as for the head
end siderail; however, the siderail rotates
toward the foot end of the bed.
To raise a head siderail, rotate it upward toward the head end of the bed until it locks in the upright position; you will then
hear the “click” that indicates the locked condition.
To raise a foot siderail, the same procedure is required as for the head siderail; however, the siderail rotates toward the
foot end of the bed.
HEADBOARD AND FOOTBOARD OPERATION
Both the headboard and the footboard can be easily removed or replaced. The removal of the headboard allows easy
access to the patient head.
Removing/Installing Boards
• Removing: Either End: Grasp both ends of the head/footboard and lift up.
• Installing: Headboard: Insert the board posts inside the mounting sockets.
Footboard: Insert the board slowly in the mounting sockets and ensure the connector properly
fits on the connector of the foot end casing.
Note
If the footboard must be removed and the electric functions are to remain accessible through the siderails, ensure that
the siderail controls are operational by deactivating any lockouts (see D1, D2 and D3, “Foot Board Control Panel Guide”
on page 19) before removing the foot board.
WARNING
Do not put anything under the bed.
