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.

DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT: Wrist/ankle restraints for use with patients who are potentially dangerous to themselves or others.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND LAUNDERING

INSTRUCTIONS ON OTHER SIDE

ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT BODY OR LIMB RESTRAINTS MAY BE NEEDED

(See Posey Catalog):

• If the patient pulls violently against the bed straps;

• 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.

• Check the patient regularly to ensure that:

•

Circulation is not impaired. Serious injury may occur if the cuffs restrict

circulation.

•

Cuffs are secure. Death or serious injury to the patient or others may occur

if the patient can remove the cuffs.

MONITORING

• Posey recommends constant direct supervision for patients deemed to be at

risk of injury to themselves or others. For times when direct supervision is

not possible, monitor by line of sight or by a video/audio device.

• NEVER allow a patient to have access to any tool, utensil, or object that might

be used to unlock or damage cuffs.

• Be aware that a sudden mood swing may cause agitated or aggressive

behavior. Contact the medical team AT ONCE if this occurs. No level of

monitoring may avoid the risk of serious injury to highly agitated or

aggressive patients.

Posey Keys MUST be readily available to staff at all times. In an emergency, it is

difﬁcult to cut the cuffs with scissors to free the patient.

NOTE: Keep excess strap out of reach to prevent patient from pulling strap and

damaging or opening lock.

Application Instructions:

Adverse Reactions:

• Severe emotional, psychological, or physical problems may occur: if the applied device is

uncomfortable; or if it severely limits movement. If the patient is likely to cause injury to him/

herself or others, get help from a qualiﬁed medical authority to ﬁnd an alternate intervention

or method of restraint.

Indications for Use:

• Patients assessed as being in extreme danger of injury to themselves or to others.

• 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:

• NEVER use on a patient:

• With a dislocation or fracture on the restrained limb; or

• If an IV or wound site could be compromised by the device.

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

• DO NOT use this device on a patient who is or becomes: suicidal; highly aggressive or

combative; self-destructive; or deemed to be an immediate risk to others, UNLESS the patient is

under constant supervision.

• Before each use, check cuffs and straps for cracks, tears, and/or excessive

wear or stretch; cracked or broken buckles or locks; and/or that hook and

loop adheres securely, as these may allow patient to remove cuff. Discard if

device is damaged.

• If you have any questions about patient safety, ask the appropriate medical

authority for alternatives.

Follow these steps to apply device:

Attach the bed strap on each side, to a movable part of the bed

frame, at a comfortable level for either wrist or ankle use.

Lay the patient down on the bed on top of the connecting strap

between the cuffs.

Wrap the cuff around the patient’s limb.

4. Insert the metal post through the most suitable adjustment hole.

5. Secure the lock to the post.

6. Check for proper ﬁt by inserting one ﬁnger between the cuffs and

the patient’s wrist or ankles. The cuffs must be snug enough to

prevent escape, but not interfere with circulation.

7. Check that the lock “clicks” shut. If a lock is not completely closed, it

can pop open. Before leaving the patient’s side, test the lock by trying

to open it without the key.

TO UNLOCK CUFFS:

Insert the Posey Key into the lock and turn

counterclockwise. This will prevent jamming

(Fig. 1).

NOTE: Universal Posey Keys ﬁt all Posey locks.

To order extra keys, contact Posey at

1.800.447.6739, press 5, and ask for

Cat. 1074.

TO OPEN

• Make sure the patient is unable to reach the bed connecting straps and free

themselves.

Use extreme caution when using any type of padding with the limb holder. If the

patient pulls violently, the padding may compress and allow the patient to

remove the cuff and cause injury to himself/herself or others.

MONITOR PER FACILITY POLICY.

Check to ensure that:

• Bed attachment straps cannot slide in any direction, tighten or loosen if the

patient pulls on them, or if the bed is adjusted;

• Cuffs are attached in a way that the patient is not able to use his or her teeth

or otherwise remove the device;

• Cuffs are intact, and not torn or damaged. DO NOT allow patients to ingest

product material.
