Positioning Siderails
NOTE
The head end siderails can be locked at two positions (intermediate & full). The foot end siderails lock in the full up
position only.
• The siderails can slide to the side of the bed when not in use. To remove the rail from the tucked position, grasp
the top of the rail and pull outward.
• To engage the head end siderail, grasp the rail and swing it upward to full height. When the siderail is being raised,
it does not lock in the intermediate position. To lower the siderail, push in the yellow release handle and rotate the
siderail until it locks in the intermediate position. To lower the siderail fully, push in the yellow release handle again
and rotate the siderail until it is completely lowered.
NOTE
To activate the siderail bypass mechanism, the rail must be fully lowered. If the rail is not completely lowered, the
siderail will lock in the intermediate position when it is raised. There is no intermediate level and thus no bypass function
on the foot end siderails.
• To engage the foot end siderail, the same procedure is required as for the head end siderail, however, the siderail
swings toward the foot end of the bed.
WARNING
When raising the siderails, listen for the "click" that indicates the siderail has locked in the up position. Pull firmly
on the siderail to ensure it is locked into position. Siderails are not intended to be a patient restraint device. It is the
responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint and the siderail positioning necessary
to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed.
CAUTION
• The siderails are not intended to be used as a pushing device. Damage to the siderails could occur.
• The use of a mattress overlay may reduce the effectiveness of the siderail.
Siderail Control Panel Lights
• The head end siderails are equipped with lights to illuminate the siderail control buttons and the nurse call switch.
The lights are activated at the foot board control panel.
• There are three settings for the intensity of the siderail control lights: low, medium and high. When all the siderail
lights are off, push the siderail control light button on the foot board once to turn on both the control lights and the
nurse call indicator light. Push the button again to change the siderail control lights from low to medium setting,
and again to change to the high setting. (The intensity of the nurse call indicator light does not change.)
• When all the siderail lights are on, pushing the button once will turn off only the siderail control lights and pushing
it again will turn off the nurse call indicator light (see control panel guide
CAUTION
The nurse call indicator light on the siderails helps ensure the patient understands where the button is for contacting
the nurse station. Turning this light off will compromise this ability, especially in a darkened room.
