SAFETY SUMMARY
To ensure the safe use of the Reduced Gap Home Bed Rail, these
instructions MUST be followed:
GENERAL WARNINGS
DO NOT install or use this equipment without first reading and
understanding these instructions. If you are unable to understand the
Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare professional,
dealer or technical personnel before attempting to install this equipment
- otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
When used with a manual stationary deck bed, the bed rails DO NOT fall
under any weight limitations. Bed rails can be deformed if excessive side
pressure is exerted on the bed rails. The bed rails are used for the
purpose of preventing an individual from inadvertently rolling out of bed.
If an individual is capable of injuring himself/herself, a physician or a
healthcare professional should be consulted for alternative means of safe
restraint.
Replacement mattresses and bed rails with dimensions DIFFERENT than
the original equipment supplied or specified by the bed manufacturer
may not be interchangeable. Variations in bed side rail design, thickness,
size or density of the mattress could cause entrapment. Use ONLY
authorized Invacare replacement parts.
DO NOT use the bed rails as push handles when moving the bed.
This bed rail is NOT a handhold for getting into or out of bed.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION WARNINGS
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all
attaching hardware is tightened securely.
Always test to make sure that the bed rails are properly and securely in
place BEFORE using.
Make certain that the crossbraces do not exceed width of mattress.
Otherwise, entrapment may occur between bed rail and mattress or bed
frame.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
Raise the bed rail to maintain the necessary height of the side rail for
patient safety keeping in mind the gap between the bottom of the side
rail and the mattress.
Ensure that the spring loaded knobs fully protrude through the same
respective adjustment hole of each rail tube. This ensures that the rail is
securely locked in position and an even height adjustment is achieved.
The Reduced Gap Home Bed Rail is only for use on beds with stationary
decks. DO NOT use on beds with movable decks.
This bed rail will fit on widths of 36-inches to 62-inches. Make certain that
the crossbraces do NOT exceed the width of the mattress. Objects may
become caught between rail and mattress if the space is too wide.
INSTALLATION OF REDUCED GAP HOME BED RAIL
(FIGURE 1)
1. With the bed in the flat position, remove the mattress from the bed.
2. Adjust the width of the crossbrace assembly tube so it fits snug against the mattress
by depressing the snap buttons and sliding the crossbrace assembly tube to the
desired width.
3. Make sure that both snap buttons lock through the holes in the crossbrace assembly
tube.
NOTE: Each crossbrace MUST be installed with the slotted side of the barrel toward the center of
the bed (FIGURE 1), and swedged end downward. If the slotted portions are not facing the center
of the bed, rotate crossbrace 180°.
4. Position one (1) set of crossbraces at each end of the bed between the bed spring
and the mattress.
5. With the outside telescoping portion of the rail toward the head section of the bed,
insert the bed rail into the barrels of the crossbraces.
6. Pull the plunger knob allowing the rail to lower down along the side of the bed.
7. Pull rail up until plunger pin snaps into position.

AVERTISSEMENTS GÉNÉRAUX

ces instructions. Si vous ne comprenez pas les avertissements, les notes
attention et les instructions, contacter un professionnel des soins de santé,
un fournisseur ou un technicien avant de tenter d'installer cet équipement,
sans quoi des blessures ou des dommages peuvent survenir.
Utilisés avec un lit manuel fixe, les côtés de lit N’ont PAS de limite de poids.
Les côtés de lit peuvent plier ou briser si une pression latérale excessive est
appliquée. Ces côtés de lit sont utilisés pour empêcher les personnes de
tomber accidentellement du lit. Les côtés de lit NE SONT PAS conçus
pour être utilisés comme moyen de contention. Si une personne peut
s'automutiler, un médecin ou un professionnel des soins de santé devrait être
consulté pour obtenir une méthode de contention sécuritaire.
Les matelas de remplacement et les côtés de lit dont les dimensions sont
DIFFÉRENTES des matelas ou des côtés fournis avec l'équipement ou
spécifiés par le fabricant ne peuvent être interchangés. Les différences
dans la conception du côté de lit, l'épaisseur, la taille et la densité du
matelas peuvent risquer de piéger le patient dans le lit. Utiliser
SEULEMENT des pièces de rechange autorisées par Invacare.
NE PAS utiliser les côtés de lit pour déplacer le lit.
Ce côté ne lit n'est pas conçu pour servir de support pour sortir ou entrer
dans le lit.

Toujours s'assurer que les côtés de lit sont installés adéquatement et
sécuritairement AVANT utilisation.
S'assurer que les entretoises ne dépassent pas la largeur du lit; sans quoi,
le patient pourrait être piégé entre le côté de lit et le matelas ou le
châssis du lit.
