WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. Use a properly sized mattress in order to
minimize the gap between the side of the mattress and assist devices and/or side rails. This gap must
be small enough to prevent a resident from getting his or her head or neck caught in this location.
Make sure that raising or lowering the bed, or articulating the sleep surface does not create any
hazardous gaps. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. Properly locate the mounting brackets for
the assist devices or side rails. The gap between the head/foot board and the assist device or side
rail must be small enough or large enough to prevent a resident from getting his or her head or
neck caught in this location (see the assist device or side rail installation instructions for more
information). If multiple assist devices are used, position them such that the gap between them is
large enough for the trunk and hips to easily pass through. Make sure that raising or lowering the
bed, or articulating the sleep surface does not create any hazardous gaps. Failure to do so could
result in injury or death.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. Do not use an assist device or side rails if
any openings within it will allow a resident to get his or her head or neck lodged within these
openings. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. Do not use any Joerns assist device until
you have verified that it is locked in place. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. Do not use any replacement parts not
manufactured, marketed, or provided by Sunrise Medical on any Joerns bed.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. If using accessories not manufactured,
marketed, or provided by Sunrise Medical for Joerns beds, consult the accessory manufacturer for
compatibility and limitations prior to use.
This product is only one part of your healthcare bed system. Proper combinations of mattress, head/foot
boards and assist devices are needed to minimize the risk of entrapment. For more information, contact your
Joerns representative.

Bed System Entrapment Information
Although essential in the practice of long-term care,
bed side rails, in recent years, have also been a subject
of regulatory review and evolution in design and use.
That focus includes not only the challenge of achieving
an appropriate balance between resident security and
unnecessary restraint, but also the additional safety
issue of entrapment.
Creating a Safer Care Environment
While the guidelines apply to all healthcare settings -
hospitals, nursing homes and at home – long-term
care facilities have particular exposure in that serious
entrapment events typically involve frail, elderly or
dementia patients.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
working together with Sunrise Medical and other
industry representatives has addressed the potential
danger of entrapment with new safety guidelines for
medical beds. The guidelines recommend dimensional
limits for critical gaps and spaces between bed system
components.
For More Information
To learn more about compliance options with
Joerns products, contact Joerns Customer
Care (800-826-0270) or your Joerns account
manager and ask for free informational
publications.
The entrapment zones involve the relationship of
components often assembled by the healthcare facility
rather than a manufacturer. Compliance is the
responsibility of the facility. As the leading
manufacturer of long-term care beds and a
frontrunner in addressing this critical issue, Joerns can
offer you the expertise, assistance and products to
bring your facility into compliance.
To learn more about entrapment zones, assessment
methods, and guidelines concerning entrapment,
contact Sunrise Medical, Long-Term Care Division, or
the FDA.
Joerns Compliance Solutions
Matching the right bed components in order to meet
regulatory guidelines can be complex. That’s why
Joerns offers a wide array of compliance options. We
will assist customers in selecting compliant
accessories recommended for their model beds.

accessories (assist devices, trapeze devices, etc.) Consult the accessory manufacturer for compatibility,
proper installation and use instructions.
Mattress Side Stop
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY. Sitting on or sliding over the mattress side stop can cause injury to
the skin when used with a mattress that compresses to less than 2.0 inches under load.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY. Make sure that the mattress fills the entire width between the side
stops. Failure to do so could result in injury.

user instructions. Improper use could cause it to disconnect, resulting in a fall or loss of control of the bed.
4-inch Extension
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. Use a mattress long enough so that the gap between
the mattress and the head/foot board is small enough to prevent a resident from getting his or her head
or neck caught in these locations. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
Trapeze Adapter
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. Improper installation of the trapeze adapter could
alter the position of or dislodge the headboard, increasing the risk of injury or suffocation.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. Follow the manufacturer’s directions when installing
a trapeze bar. Improper installation of a trapeze bar on the trapeze adapter could cause the trapeze bar
to disconnect or otherwise fail, resulting in injury or death.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. Make sure there is a minimum of 1 inch clearance
between the bottom of the trapeze bar and the floor when the bed is in its lowest position. Failure to
do so could damage the floor and/or cause the bed to become unstable, resulting in injury or death.
