Instructions for Use
The Stay Safe 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.
Stay Safe Beds are intended for medically fragile patients with chronic illnesses
or injuries. 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 a 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 THE TOP IS OPEN.
•The mattress and padding should be routinely inspected for tears in the vinyl cover.
Replace the mattress or padding 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 Stay Safe Bed Padding and Sure-Chek®Mattress
Wipe clean all parts of the Stay Safe Bed Padding with lukewarm, soapy water on a
regular basis.
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 Padding and
Mattress.
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 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. Use caution to not overtighten.
•Zippers 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 bed padding should be inspected for holes and tears.
