ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND LAUNDERING

INSTRUCTIONS ON OTHER SIDE

Indications for Use:

• Patients assessed to be at risk of disrupting life-saving treatments

(e.g., chronic tube pulling).

• Patients assessed to be at risk of line pulling, which may prevent

monitoring of vital signs.

• Patients whose picking, pulling, scratching, or peeling exacerbates a

skin condition, causes self-injury, or compromises wound site integrity.

Contraindications:

• DO NOT use on a patient who is or becomes highly aggressive,

combative, agitated, or suicidal.

• NEVER use mitts on a patient:

– If an IV or wound site could be compromised by the device; or

– With a dislocation or fracture on the affected limb.

See the Posey Catalog for other options for such a patient.

Adverse Reactions:

• Severe emotional, psychological, or physical problems may occur if:

the applied device is uncomfortable, or it severely limits movement.

If symptoms of these problems ever appear for any reason, get help

from a qualiﬁed medical authority and ﬁnd a less restrictive product or

intervention.

Fig. 1.

ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT BODY OR LIMB RESTRAINTS MAY BE

NEEDED (See Posey Catalog):

• To reduce the risk of the patient getting access to the

line/wound/tube site;

• To prevent the patient from ﬂailing or bucking up and down and

causing self-injury.

MONITOR PER FACILITY POLICY. Check to ensure that:

• Mitts are properly secured. If applied too tightly, circulation will be

restricted; if applied too loosely, the patient may be able to slip his or

her limb from the device;

• Mitts are intact, not torn or damaged, and hook and loop closes

securely. DO NOT allow patients to ingest mitt material;

• The patient cannot use his or her teeth or otherwise remove the

device and inﬂict self-injury;

• Monitor closely when the patient is out of bed. Patients who ambulate

while wearing this device may be at risk of injury from a fall.

BED SAFETY:

• ALWAYS use Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup

(HBSW) (http://www.fda.gov search keyword

“HBSW”) compliant side rails in the UP position

and ﬁll ALL gaps to reduce the risk of entrapment.

• Use side rail covers and gap protectors to help prevent the patient’s

body from going under, around, through or between the side rails.

A failure to do so may result in serious injury or death if a patient

becomes suspended or entrapped. Posey offers a full range of side

rail pads and/or gap protectors to cover gaps.
