Benefits
Risks
The Posey Bed 8060 is an A-Frame canopy system. When attached to a compatible hospital bed
(not included), the 8060 is designed to help provide a safe, controlled environment for patients at
extreme risk of injury from a fall or unassisted bed exit.
Because the Posey Bed 8060 is a restraint, its use must be prescribed by a licensed doctor. Anyone
caring for a patient in the Posey Bed 8060 must be trained.
The Posey Bed 8060 was designed to help provide these benefits:
• A controlled patient environment,
• Reduce the risk of unassisted bed exit,
• Reduce the risk of patient falls,
• Avoid the risk of a patient being trapped under a mattress, and
• Eliminate the need for side rails when the patient is alone. This avoids the risk of the
patient being trapped in the side rails, or between the mattress and side rails.
Improper use of the Posey Bed 8060 may lead to serious injury or death. Patient monitoring
should be determined by hospital protocol, a doctor, and the patient’s care plan. As with any less
restrictive restraint system, it is important to understand when the Posey Bed 8060 is needed,
when it should not be used, and the dangers related to entrapment, suffocation, choking, and falls.
