Raising the siderail
WARNING
•
Always use extra caution when you use a mattress thicker than 2.5 in. or a mattress overlay with Prime X option.
•
Always put the product in the lowest position with the siderails up and latched when you leave a patient unattended.
Do not leave the product at a higher height.
•
Always lock the siderails in the full up position with the sleep surface horizontal and in the lowest position when you
transport a patient.
•
Always keep the patient's limbs away from the siderail spindles when you raise or lower the siderail.
•
Do not allow the siderails to lower on their own.
To raise the siderail:
1.
Use two hands to grasp the siderail.
2.
Lift the siderail toward the foot end of the product until the yellow release latch clicks into place. Pull on the siderail
to make sure that the siderail is latched.
Notes
•
Do not use siderails as restraint devices to keep the patient from exiting the product. The siderails keep the
patient from rolling off the product. The operator must determine how much restraint is needed to make sure
that the patient is safe.
•
You can use the foot end of the siderails as a push or pull device.
•
Siderails only lock in the full up position.
