Introduction

Posey Seizure Pads are form-fitted to fit snugly over the existing bedside rails with a 1″ (3 cm) layer of medium-density foam to help safeguard against accidental patient injury. The outer shell is constructed from lightweight sheer nylon denier to help prevent patient “rub” burns and allows unobstructed movement of the side rails to the lowered position. The nylon cover is backed with a urethane waterproof coating that easily wipes clean with liquid disinfectant. Open windows in the upper section to allow for easy access to controls on most bed models. Navy Blue.

Monitoring

WARNING: Posey Seizure Side Rail Pads will not prevent a determined patient from exiting the bed, going over or attempting to go between or through side rail gaps. Not all hospital beds allow for full articulation when this product is applied. Slowly articulate the head of the bed to ensure compatibility. Always follow your facility’s policies and procedures for patient assessment, monitoring, and rehabilitation.

Application Instructions

Inspect the product set before use. Do not use soiled or damaged products.
Identify each of the components in the set. Each pad has sewn-in tags, identifying its intended location from the perspective of lying down in the bed (Fig. 1).
Place each of the pads onto the proper side rail and shift it into position (Fig. 2).
Securely fasten all the plastic side release buckle fasteners along the edges of each pad (Figs. 3 and 4).
Lower each of the side rails to check clearances (Fig. 5). Note that there may be some resistance as the rails are completely lowered. This should be expected as there are close manufacturing tolerances between the bed and the side rail. The shear nylon covers are chosen to minimize any potential binding.
Check for proper fit. Modified beds may not be compatible with Posey Seizure Side Rail Pads.

Disposal
WARNING: Properly dispose of the product per the facility’s policy for BIOHAZARDOUS materials.
