Instructions for Use
The Pedicraft Homecare Crib Bed is intended for use during a patient’s sleeping
hours to prevent falls and wandering while others in the house are sleeping. It is not
intended to be used for extended periods when the patient is awake and
unsupervised.
Enclosed beds are intended for medically fragile patients with chronic illness such
as cerebral palsy, brain trauma or other severe disability. They are not intended to
restrain a difficult but otherwise healthy child or adult.
•To lower Side Rail: Turn handle and lift slightly, then lower to desired position.
•To raise Side Rail: Hold side rail tube or top rail and lift to desired position. Do not use
handle to raise Side Rail.
CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE PATIENT UNATTENDED WHEN SIDE RAIL IS LOWERED.
•If Bed is equipped with Head Elevation feature: Turn crank at the foot of the bed to raise
and lower the head of the bed.
CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE AN ACTIVE PATIENT UNATTENDED WHEN THE HEAD
OF THE BED IS RAISED.
•If Bed is equipped with Crib Top: Squeeze both knobs and lift rail to open top. Make
sure that both latches are secure before releasing the rail.
CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE PATIENT UNATTENDED WHEN CRIB TOP IS OPEN.
•Do not substitute the mattress provided with this bed with any other type or size of
mattress. Crib mattresses must fit tightly. The Pedicraft mattress is designed to leave
gaps smaller than one-half inch between the crib and the mattress as required by the
Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Maintenance
•Record the model number, serial number and other information about your bed on page
3 of this manual and retain for future reference. Please have this information available if
you contact Pedicraft with questions about your bed.
•Test Side Rail operation periodically. If Side Rail does not operate smoothly or lock
securely into position, contact your durable medical equipment dealer or call Pedicraft at
800-223-7649.
•All bolts and screws should be checked at least once every six months. Tighten if
necessary.
•The mattress should be inspected periodically for tears in the vinyl cover. Fluid can leak
through small tears. If hygiene is a problem, the mattress will need to be replaced as
soon as tears are evident.
Cleaning of Metal Surfaces
•Use a damp sponge or soft cloth with a mild soap or detergent solution. Be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s directions for diluting cleaning solutions.
•Thoroughly rinse with clean water and dry. Failure to properly rinse and dry will leave a
corrosive residue which may cause damage.
Cleaning of Mattress
•Clean the Sure-Chek® mattress with mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse with clean
water. Do not use harsh detergents, cleansers or solvents.
•To disinfect mattress: Remove from the crib. Dilute disinfectants and/or germicides as
specified on manufacturer’s label. Use only in those dilutions recommended by the
manufacturer.
