Instructions for Use
The Canopy 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.
•Do not leave patient unattended when any one of the mesh panels is open.
•Always raise side rails when patient is unattended and position bed at lowest
level.
•If Bed is equipped with optional Head Elevation Crank, do not leave an active
patient unattended when the head of the bed is raised.
•Zippers must be secured with attached ties to prevent patient from exiting bed
unsupervised. Ties should be routinely inspected to make sure that they are
secure. Space is provided on page 2 of this manual to record inspections.
•If double-zipper opening is used for equipment access, make certain that the
opening does not allow the patient to reach the zipper pulls. You may want to
secure the two zipper pulls together with Velcro ties to prevent the patient
from opening the enclosure.
•The mattress should be routinely inspected for tears in the vinyl cover.
Replace the mattress if tears are evident.
•Do not substitute the mattress provided with this bed with any other type or
size of mattress. The mattress must fit snugly to prevent gaps which may
entrap the patient.

Cleaning of Canopy Cover and Sure-Chek®Mattress
Wipe clean all parts of the Canopy Bed Cover with lukewarm, soapy water on a
regular basis. The Canopy Enclosed Bed is equipped with a zip-out Bottom Mesh
Section so that it can be easily removed and immersed in lukewarm, soapy water for
thorough cleaning. See Operations Manual for specific instructions. The entire cover
may be removed also, and immersed in lukewarm, soapy water for thorough
cleaning.
Clean the Sure-Chek®Mattress with mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse with
clean water. Do not use harsh detergents, cleansers or solvents. Daily cleaning of
the Mattress is recommended. The mattress should be routinely inspected for tears
in the vinyl cover. Replace the mattress if tears are evident.
AIR DRY ONLY. Do not use any form of heat drying. Heat will damage the Canopy
Cover and Mattress. You may reinstall the cover on the frame while it is still damp
but do not reinstall the Mattress until the Cover is completely dry. If you hang the
Cover over the bed frame to dry, cover the corners of the Bed to prevent water from
getting into the openings at the top of the corner posts. Allow at least 2 hours
drying time.
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 to the metal surfaces or be harmful to people.

Maintenance
The frequency of routine maintenance will vary depending on how active the patient
is. A patient who is very active in the bed may cause the bolts and zipper ties to
loosen sooner than expected. Record maintenance checks in the space provided on
page 2 of this manual.
•All bolts and screws should be checked at least once every six months. Tighten
if necessary.
•Zipper ties should be routinely inspected to make sure that they are secure.
•The mattress should be inspected for tears in the vinyl cover. Fluid can leak
through small tears. The mattress should be replaced as soon as tears are
evident.
•The mesh cover should be inspected for holes and tears.
