above the bed’s intended maximum patient weight may also cause damage to the bed.
•Warning—Evaluate patients for entrapment and fall risk according to facility protocol, and/or
healthcare provider directives, and monitor patients appropriately. Make sure all siderails are
fully latched when in the raised position. Failure to do either of these could cause serious
injury or death.
