WARNING: ENTRAPMENT BETWEEN AN ASSISTIVE BEDSIDE HANDRAIL DEVICE AND A MATTRESS CAN BE SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING.
• Entrapment can occur when there is a gap between the side of the mattress and the assistive handrail.
• It is possible for a person’s head, neck, arm(s), leg(s) or body to become wedged between the side of the mattress and the assistive handrail
horizontal crossbars or vertical side bars.
• The mattress must be tight against the assistive handrail, with no gaps at all times. This should
be checked frequently, at least daily.
• For added safety we recommend installing two WaveRails, one on each side of the bed, to assist
with keeping the mattress in place, with no gaps. CAUTION: If the bed base is wider than the
mattress, two rails will NOT work.
• The horizontal crossbars and attachment straps must be used at all times.
• The WaveRail is NOT intended for people with poor mobility, or for people who are permanently
bedridden. Extra safety measures and precautions must be used with higher risk patients.

WaveRail Assembly Instructions
Preparing the WaveRail for assembly:
1. Open the carton and remove all parts. Remove the plastic coverings and dispose of safely away from children and infants.
2. The WaveRail can be used with either two (2) crossbars or three (3) crossbars. By choosing either the two (2) or three (3) crossbar option you can
adjust the WaveRail height relative to the oor and to suit the user’s preference. For thick mattresses we recommend that you use 3 crossbars. If you
choose to use 2 crossbars, then part D (H-bar) is not required. Save it for possible future use.
WaveRail Installation Instructions
Installing the WaveRail onto the bed:
1. You will nd the installation easier if you remove the mattress. Place the assembled WaveRail on top of the boxspring.
4. Replace the mattress on the bed, if you removed it.

6. Tighten the two webbing straps securely against the boxspring, ensuring that the webbing straps are straight and parallel.
