SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Part No 1134867 11 ValueCare Bed Series
NEVER allow patients to use trapeze or traction units as a total individual weight
support.
When operating this bed, ALWAYS ensure that the individual utilizing the bed is
positioned properly within the confines of the bed. DO NOT let any extremities protrude
over the side or between the bed rails when performing these functions.
Keep all moving parts, including the main frame, mattress deck (head and foot
springs/sections) and all drive shafts free of obstruction (i.e. blankets/sheets, heating
blankets/pads, tubing, wiring, etc. and other types of products using electric cords which
may get tangled around the bed, side rails or legs) during operation of the bed.
Replacement mattresses and bed side rails with dimensions different than the original
equipment supplied or specified by the bed frame manufacturer are not interchangeable.
Variations in bed side rail design, width and thickness or firmness of the mattress could
cause/contribute to entrapment. Use only authorized Invacare replacement parts and/or
accessories otherwise the warranty is void. Invacare will not be responsible for any
damage or injury that may result.
Accessories Information
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.
Bed Rails
These bed rails are intended to prevent an individual from inadvertently rolling out of
bed. DO NOT use for restraint purposes.
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.
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware
is tightened securely. Bed rails with dimensions different from the original equipment
supplied or specified by the bed manufacturer may not be inter-changeable and may
result in entrapment or other injury.
To reduce the risk of entrapment make certain that the bed rail crossbraces DO NOT
exceed the width of the mattress. Mattress MUST fit bed frame and side rails snugly to
reduce the risk of entrapment.
