COMPASS HEALTH PB6034 Reduced Gap Full-Length Bed Rail Instruction Manual

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the equipment. Contact the dealer/carrier for further instructions.
To ensure the safe use of the reduced gap full-length bed rail, these instructions MUST be followed:

WARNINGS

DO NOT install or use this equipment without first reading and understanding these instructions. If you are unable to understand the Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel before attempting to install this equipment – otherwise, death, injury or property damage may occur.

These bed rails are intended to prevent an individual from inadvertently rolling out of bed. DO NOT use for restraint purposes.

ENTRAPMENT MAY OCCUR. Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and proper maintenance and use of equipment is required to reduce the risk of entrapment. Variations in bed rail dimensions, and mattress thickness, size or density could increase the risk of entrapment. Visit the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov to learn about the risks of entrapment.

Compass products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Compass accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by Compass and are not recommended for use with Compass products.

Although bed rails are not rated to any specific weight limitation,the bed rails may become deformed or broken if excessive side pressure is exerted on the bed rails.

This bed rail is not an assist rail for getting into or out of bed. DO NOT use the bed rails as push handles when moving the bed.

After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Bed rails with dimensions differentfrom the original equipment supplied or specified by the bed manufacturer may not be interchangeable and may result in entrapment or other injury.

One crossbrace MUST be positioned between the sixth and seventh springs at the head end of the bed. The remaining crossbrace MUST be positioned between the second and third springs at the foot end of the bed. Otherwise, either the bed rail or the bed may be damaged when the head end and/or foot end are raised.

WARNING

To ensure proper bed rail installation, arrows on crossbrace decal MUST point to center of bed.

The outer telescoping tube of the bed rail MUST be positioned at the head end of the bed to prevent a pinch point when raising/lowering bed.

To reduce the risk of entrapment make certain that the crossbraces DO NOT exceed the width of the mattress. Mattress MUST fit bed frame and side bed rails snugly to reduce the risk of entrapment.

Unless the bed rail is in the lowest position, ensure that the spring loaded knobs fully protrude through the same respective adjustment hole of each bed rail tube. This ensures that the bed rail is securely locked in position and an even height adjustment is achieved (The lowest position for the bed rail occurs when the bed rail rests against the bed rail stop. Spring loaded pins DO NOT engage into an adjustment hole when the bed rail in the lowest position.)

Install bed rails fully extended on bed. DO NOT use full length bed rails as half rails.

Installing the Crossbraces

NOTE: READ AND UNDERSTAND WARNINGS before proceeding with Installing the Crossbraces on page 2.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 1 on page 3.

1. Remove the mattress from the bed.

2. Place the bed in the flat position and position one crossbrace between the sixth and seventh springs at the head end of the bed frame (Detail “A”).
   NOTE: If the bed frame contains BLACK springs at the sixth and seventh spring locations at the head end of the bed, position the crossbrace between these springs.

3. When holding either end of the crossbrace assembly, turn the barrels so plunger knobs are on top (Detail “A”).
   NOTE: Ensure the long end of the barrel faces the center of the bed with the decal to the center of bed as shown in FIGURE 1. If long end faces the opposite way, rotate crossbrace 180°.

4. Position the bed hooks so they are on the bottom side of the crossbrace (Detail “B”).

5. Perform one of the following:

   • Standard Hardware Installation – Attach one bed hook onto the bed spring angle iron and push in on the spring loaded bed rail until you are able to attach the opposite end to the bed spring angle iron (Detail “B”).
     NOTE: Ensure plunger pins are facing the center of the bed.

   •  Optional Hardware Installation – Perform the following steps:

   1. Attach wingnuts to bed hooks.
   2.  Tighten until the wingnut reaches the bed spring angle iron.

6. Rotate the barrels of the crossbrace until the barrels are vertical and the long ends of the barrels are facing DOWN.

7. Position the remaining crossbrace between the second and third springs at the foot end of the bed.
   NOTE: If the bed frame contains BLACK springs at the second and third spring locations at the foot end of the bed, position the crossbrace between these springs.

8. Repeat STEPS 3-7 for the foot end crossbrace.

9. Place mattress on bed frame.

10. Install the bed rails. Refer to Installing the Bed Rails on page 3
