PRODUCT OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT

Padded limb restraints with double-security closure. For bed use only.

INTENDED USE:

To protect patients assessed to be at risk of disrupting life-saving treatments (e.g., chronic tube pulling) or in danger of injury to themselves or to others by limiting limb movement in a bed or stretcher.
Follow your hospital’s restraint policies and procedures that are compliant with USA CMS guidelines and state laws, or other governing agencies outside the USA.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: None

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Posey Keys MUST be readily available to staff at all times. In an emergency, it is difficult to cut the cuffs with scissors to free the patient. Follow these steps to apply device (repeat steps 1-4 on each side):

Place the cuffs at wrist or ankle position.
Bring the ends of the strap down through the inside of the side rails so they do not interfere when the side rails are raised. Thread the end of the strap over the top, aroundthe frame, at least once, and through the lock. Make sure that the straps are attached to the frame that moves with the patient (Fig. 1) (do not attach to side rail or head/ footboard), out of the patient’s reach.
Pull the strap snug and close the lock. Check that the lock “clicks” shut. If a lock is not completely closed, it can pop open. Before leaving the patient’s side, test the lock by trying to open it without the key.
Position the patient on the bed.

APPLYING THE CUFFS: (Repeat steps 1-2 for each side):

Wrap the neoprene piece around wrist/ankle. Attach the black hook-and-loop pieces together and pull back the black pull tab on the blue or red fuzzy piece, followed by the blue or red hook-and-loop pieces. The fuzzy piece should be sandwiched between the two pieces of hook (Fig. 2). Be sure to overlap at least one inch (3 cm).
Press the hook-and-loop closure together firmly and make sure it adheres securely. Slide ONE finger (flat) between the cuff and the inside of the patient’s wrist/ankle to ensure proper fit.
- 2794: Pass the end of the limb strap over the top of the cuff and through the two D-rings on the cuff. Bring the strap back over the first ring and through the second D-ring on the cuff (Fig. 3).
- Slide one finger (flat) between the cuff and limb strap.

ADJUSTING STRAP LENGTH: Adjust the connecting strap(s) length from the frame to allow desired freedom of movement without compromising patient or caregiver safety. Ensure the remaining strap end(s) are secured and out of the reach of the patient.

TO REMOVE: Release the cuff from the patient. Release the anchor strap from the bed frame.

PRECAUTIONS

A clinical assessment and decision are required when used with monitoring lines or if patient has a wound or dislocated/fractured limb.
Check the patient regularly to ensure that circulation is not impaired. Serious injury may occur if the cuffs restricts circulation when the limb holder is applied.

WARNING: Additional or different body or limb restraints may be needed (visit tidiproducts.com):

Some patients may require additional interventions in conjunction with a restraint in order to prevent injury to self or others.
- If the patient pulls violently against the bed straps.
- To reduce the risk of the patient getting access to the line/wound/tube site.
- To prevent the patient from flailing or bucking up and down and causing self-injury.
It is a clinical decision to decide when a restraint is no longer deemed safe.

BED SAFETY

Refer to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or other governing agencies outside the USA, for the most recent Hospital Bed Safety Guidelines and the bed manufacturer’s instructions for use.
