IMPORTANT WARNING FOR ACCESSORIES
POSSIBLE INJURY. Injury may result from improper use of bed accessories
(patient restraints, side rails, trapeze devices, etc.). Consult the accessory manu-
facturer for proper use instructions.

OXYGEN EQUIPMENT

POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. This bed is suitable for use with oxygen administering
equipment of the nasal type and mask type. The use of any other type of oxygen
administering equipment can result in a fire.
POSSIBLE INJURY. When using nasal or masked type oxygen administering equip-
ment, the oxygen tubing must be routed and secured properly so that it does not
become entangled and/or severed during operation of the bed.
MATTRESSES
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Follow guidelines in User's Manual. Improper
mattresses can expose patient to risk of suffocation if head becomes trapped
between mattress and side rail or frame.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Use a mattress long enough so that the gap
between the mattress and the headboard or footboard is small enough to prevent
a patient from getting his or her head between the mattress and the headboard
or footboard and possibly suffocating.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. Use a mattress that is properly sized to fit the mattress
deck and will remain centered on the mattress deck.

SIDE RAILS

RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. When using side rails, only use side rails that can be
positioned so that the gap between the side rails is large enough that the trunk
and hips can easily pass through it. Make sure raising the bed, head section or
foot section does not create any of the previously described gaps.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. If side rail is used, follow guidelines in rail
User's Manual. Use of side rail can expose patient to risk of suffocation if head
becomes trapped between mattress and side rail.
POSSIBLE INJURY. Make sure side rails are secured properly before using bed.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. Individuals with physical limitations who cannot pre-
vent themselves from rolling or climbing out of the bed may require other means
of safe positioning.
POSSIBLE DAMAGE OR INJURY. Do not use the side rails as handles when moving
the bed.
