Does the rail comply with FDA entrapment guidance?
Yes, the Graham-Field Liberty Full Length Bed Rail is specifically engineered for maximum patient safety and adherence to strict federal guidelines. It is designed to minimize the risk of patient entrapment by complying with the FDA Hospital Bed System Dimensional Guidance and Test Methods for Zones 1-4.
Key features that ensure this compliance and maximize protection include:
- Entrapment Reduction Design: The improved rail spacing and overall dimensions are intentionally crafted to meet the stringent dimensional guidance for reducing risks across Zones 1-4.
- Gap Closure: The telescoping full-length design (extending up to 62 inches) effectively closes open areas that can be created when compatible beds (Patriot™ and WhisperLite™ II) are articulated.
- Secure Installation: The rails mount into fixed, patent-pending slots on the bed deck, preventing sliding and ensuring the rail remains securely and correctly positioned.
- High Safety Standards: The rail has been thoroughly tested to meet the highest Medical Bed System standards.
Does this rail meet FDA entrapment standards?
Yes, the Graham-Field Liberty Bed Rail is specifically engineered to reduce the risk of patient entrapment by adhering to stringent regulatory requirements. This design focus provides maximum perimeter protection:
- FDA Compliance: The rail meets the FDA Hospital Bed System Dimensional Guidance and Test Methods for Zones 1–4 to minimize entrapment risks.
- Improved Spacing: The design features improved crossbar spacing and a length (up to 62 inches when fully extended) that effectively closes open areas that can appear during bed movement or articulation.
- Secure Fastening: Spring-loaded, self-adjusting crossbraces incorporate safety tabs to prevent accidental disengagement, ensuring the rail remains securely in place.
Furthermore, the rail has been tested to the highest Medical Bed System standards for dependability.
