PRECAUTION

Side Rails and Restraints - Use or non-use of restraints, including side rails, can be critical to patient safety. WARNING: Serious injury or death can result from the use (potential entrapment) or non-use (potential patient falls) of side rails or other restraints.
Patient Migration - As with all specialty bed products that are designed to reduce shear and pressure on the patient’s skin, the risk of gradual movement and/or sinking into hazardous positions of entrapment and/or inadvertent bed exit may be increased.
Skeletal Traction - With skeletal traction, use care to guard against risks of patient migration or inadvertent deflation of air surface.
Precaution should be taken during patient transfer, including deflation of overlay surface.
