INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this accessory. These instructions for use cover Bradshaw Bariatric Bed Extension (1275/BAR/EX/COLOUR). This accessory is only intended for use with the Bradshaw Bariatric and Bradshaw Bariatric Low beds (1275/BAR & 1275/BAR/LOW). Your new accessories will offer a taller occupant a safer and a more comfortable experience without the loss of the bed’s original features. These instructions and the bed instructions for use should be read carefully and fully understood before use. Please ensure the length extension has been fitted correctly and securely. If you have any questions concerning the operation or maintenance, please contact your provider/supplier who will provide you with expert professional advice (contact details can be found at the end of this booklet).
In line with our policy of continuous improvement, we welcome any suggestions that could lead to product improvement. Please dispose of the packaging in a sensible and environmental fashion.

Warning

• Before attempting to assemble the extension onto the bed ensure these instructions and the bed instructions for use have been read and fully understood.
• Ensure the bed is unoccupied prior to fitment/removal of the accessory.
• Ensure a risk assessment in line with your local health and safety policy is undertaken.
• Never attempt to fit the extension when side rails are fitted- the risk of side rails falling and creating a crushing hazard. Always remove the side rails first.
• If the bed is in its extended state and with the leg extension profiled an opening can be created at the foot end of the bed; a patient risk assessment must be performed to assess if this poses a potential hazard to the patient ­ if so the leg section must be locked out prior to use.
• The manufacturer recommends that the extension is only to be used for individuals who require it due to their physical height requirements, it is not to be fitted to the bed as the default for all occupants. A patient risk assessment must be performed to assess the need for the extension

ASSEMBLY

• Clear the area of any obstacles and ensure it is a level surface.
• Flatten all sections and lower the bed to its minimum height (see bed instructions for use for handset operation).
• Ensure the head-end brakes are applied.
• Detach the four standard-length wooden side rails (see bed instructions for use for side rails disassembling) and store the wooden side rails in a safe place as they are no longer required.
• At the foot end of the bed, use the Allen key supplied to loosen the 4 screws retaining the bed end to the leg section.
• Remove the bed end from the leg section, and keep it nearby to avoid stretching/damaging the actuator cable. Alternatively, remove the cable from the control box (see bed instructions for use for cable removal). Be sure to support the leg section whilst removing the bed end. For ease, the help of a second able-bodied person should be considered.
• Slide the extension onto the bed end (ensuring the slotted holes are pointing away from castors), tightening all four screws to secure (Figure 1).
• Slide the bed end complete with the extension back into the leg section (A), and secure it into place with the four screws located on the leg section (B) (Figure 2).
• Fit the extended wooden side rails provided with the bed extension (see bed instructions for use for side rails assembling ­ the extended side rails are fitted onto the bed in the same way as standard length side rails).

SIDERAIL SAFETY NOTICE

Reha-bed recommends the use of Reha-bed side rails with Reha-bed beds.
The Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has highlighted potential areas of risk which are listed below, together with their recommended actions.

Entrapment and asphyxiation Beds fitted with bed side rails pose a potential risk of death from entrapment and asphyxiation| All staff responsible for the purchase, selection for use, positioning, and adjusting of bed side rails should be aware of the potential risk of entrapment and asphyxiation when a bed is occupied. Care must be taken when positioning and adjusting bed side rails to ensure that any spaces between the bed siderails, mattress or bed frame will not allow entrapment of the occupant’s head or body. In addition, consideration should be given to the size and physiological condition of the occupant and an assessment undertaken to ensure that the spacing between the bars of the bed side rails is not wide enough to present a potential risk of entrapment and asphyxiation. All staff responsible need to be aware that increased vigilance is required when nursing patients in beds fitted with bed siderails.
Bed side rail incompatibility| All staff responsible for the purchase, selection for use, positioning and adjusting of bed siderails should be aware of the potential risk of entrapment and asphyxiation when a bed is occupied. Bed siderails should be checked for compatibility with the beds they are being fitted to so that only the correct type of bed siderails are used. If in doubt, contact your supplier. Staff and carers need to ensure that procedures are in place at the time of fitting, allowing bed siderails to be assessed in conjunction with the bed and the occupant to determine if any risk of entrapment exists (consideration should be given to the occupant’s physical size).
