Safety Tips
Chapter 1: Introduction

Safety Tips
To help prevent the risk of hospital bed fires, make sure facility personnel
follow the safety tips in the FDA Public Health Notification: Safety Tips for
Preventing Hospital Bed Fires.
WARNING:
Evaluate patients for entrapment risk according to facility protocol, and
monitor patients appropriately.
WARNING:
Evaluate patients for entrapment risk according to facility protocol, and
monitor patients appropriately. Ensure that all siderails are fully latched
when in the raised position. Failure to do either of these could result in
serious injury or death.
NOTE:
Siderails are intended to be a reminder to the patient of the unit's edges, not a
patient-restraining device.When appropriate, Hill-Rom recommends that
medical personnel determine the proper methods necessary to ensure a patient
remains safely in bed.
WARNING:
Make sure the bed is in the low position when the patient is unattended.
This may reduce the severity of any resultant injuries from patient falls.
WARNING:
Always set the brakes when the unit is occupied, except during patient
transport. Reconfirm before any patient transfer. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Deactivate the bed functions by using the lockout control. Movement of
a patient or inadvertent activation of the bed functions by untrained
individuals could result in personal injury.
