Safety Summary
 WARNING
DO NOT use this product or any available optional equipment without first 
completely reading and understanding these instructions and any additional 
instructional material such as owner’s manuals, service manuals or instruction 
sheets supplied with this product or optional equipment. If you are unable to 
understand the warnings, cautions or instructions, contact a healthcare 
professional, dealer or technical personnel before attempting to use this equipment 
- otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
These bed rails are intended to prevent an individual from inadvertently rolling out 
of bed. DO NOT use for restraint purposes.
DO NOT use the bed rails as push handles for moving the bed.
ALWAYS test to make sure that the bed rails are properly and securely in place 
before using.
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction 
with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not 
been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare 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.
 ENTRAPMENT WARNING
ENTRAPMENT MAY OCCUR. Proper patient assessment and monitoring, and 
proper maintenance and use of equipment is required to reduce the risk of entrap-
ment. 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. Review “A Guide to Bed Safety”, published 
by the Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup, located at www.invacare.com. Use the link
