ADVErsE rEActions
• Severe emotional, psychological, or physical problems may occur: if the applied device is uncomfortable; or
if 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.
inDicAtions For usE:
• Patients assessed to be at risk of injury from a fall.
• Patients requiring a positioning device to assist medical treatment.
contrAinDicAtions:
•
DO NOT use on a patient who is or becomes highly aggressive, combative,
agitated, or suicidal.
• DO NOT use on patients with: ostomy, colostomy, or G-tubes; hernias, severe
Cardio Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD); or with post-surgery tubes,
incisions or monitoring lines. These could be disrupted by a restraint.
ApplicAtion instructions:
• A restraint applied incorrectly or worn backwards may result in
serious injury or death from suffocation, chest compression or
patient escape.
• Make sure straps cannot slide, loosen, or tighten if the patient
pulls on them, or if the bed or chair seat position is adjusted. The
patient may suffocate if the straps tighten. If the straps loosen,
serious injury or death may occur from: patient escape; or from
chest compression or suffocation if the patient becomes
suspended in the restraint.
For WhEElchAir usE:
a. Position the patient as far back in the
seat as possible with the buttocks against
the back of the chair.
b. Bring the straps over the hips at a
45-degree angle and pass down between
the seat and the wheelchair sides (fig. 1).
c. Criss-cross the straps, and use quick-
release ties to attach straps to the
opposite side kick spurs, out of the
patient’s reach (fig. 2).
d. If the chair has an adjustable seat, secure
straps to a movable part of the chair
frame, out of the patient’s reach.

• STOP USE AT ONCE: if the patient has a tendency to slide
forward or down in the device; or is able to self-release.
NOTE: A restraint with a pelvic piece will reduce the risk of
sliding, or of the patient pulling the device over his or her head.
See Posey Catalog.
• There is a risk of chest compression or suffocation if the
patient’s body weight is suspended off the mattress or chair
seat. Use extreme caution with chair cushions. If a cushion
dislodges, straps may loosen and allow the patient to slide off
the seat (figs. 3, 4, and 5).
• Monitor per facility policy to ensure that the patient cannot
slide down, or fall off the chair seat or mattress and become
suspended or entrapped (figs. 3, 4, and 5).
BED SAFETY
• ALWAYS use Hospital Bed Safety
Workgroup (HBSW) (http://www.fda.
gov/cdrh/beds/modguide.html) 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.
Heed these warnings to reduce the risk of serious injury or death:
ADDitionAl WArnings:

Fig. 4 Fig. 3 Fig. 5
1. Place the device on the patient with the opening in the back. Make
sure side seams are located under the arms. If they are not, the sizing
may be incorrect.
2. Close with the zipper.
3. Secure straps to the wheelchair or bed frame, out of the patient’s
reach (See below).
4. Slide an open hand (flat) between the device and the patient to ensure
proper fit. The device must be snug, but not interfere with breathing.
Before use, check device for damage. Discard if you have
any questions about patient safety.
Make sure patient wears proper undergarments to
protect skin.
