Device Information
Description of the Bari Rehab Platform 2™
The Bari Rehab Platform 2™ is an electric bed. The positioning nature of this bed also provides
care providers convenience in attending to the patients. The frame is constructed entirely from
metal and is adjustable in height from a low position of 15.75”(40 cm) to a high position of 30”
(76 cm). The frame is designed to support a safe working load of up to 1,000 lbs. (453 kg). The
bed comes standard with four 5” heavy-duty casters, headboard and footboard, a manual
emergency crank, four electric drive modules, a set of four side rails and hand control. Options
include trapeze, IV pole holder, power drive, SW Rest Secure System™ and low air loss
mattress.
Description of the optional Rest Secure System™ (RSS)
The purpose of the SW Rest Secure System™ is to alert the care provider that a patient is
attempting to exit the bed or is in an immediate risk of falling in settings where continuous
surveillance of a patient is not possible. This is achieved by precisely monitoring a change in
patient position. When the patient makes an attempt to get out of bed an alarm will sound either
at the hand control or activate the nurse call signal.
The SW Rest Secure System™ also has an integrated scale that utilizes a transducer based
system to accurately record the weight of the patient while in the bed. It also has the capability
to record the weight automatically every day for 30 days at user-defined intervals.
Another feature is the protocol timer, which can be set for 1, 2 or 4 hours, to alert the care
provider that the patient needs attended to or checked on. It has the capability to alert the care
provider by an audible tone or activating the nurse call signal.

Side Rail Set-Up
WARNING: It is recommended to have the side rails
upright at all times while the patient is in the bed.
However, the ultimate decision lies with the medical
personnel who are on site and can fully evaluate all
factors.
WARNING: If the side rails are not secured in the proper place, entrapment to
the patient may occur. Bed rail entrapment is a serious health risk that can result
in serious injury or even death. Sizewise recommends the care provider be
mindful of the FDA guidelines relevant to bed rail entrapment, as serious injury
can result. These guidelines can be found on the FDA website. It is the care
provider’s ultimate decision whether or not to use bed rails with the patient.
