RAISING AND LOWERING THE SIDERAILS (XPS OPTION)
WARNING
Siderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device. See
to use the restraint straps properly could result in patient injury.
You can order your cot with the eXpandable patient surface (XPS) option or upgrade your cot to add the XPS option.
Siderails (XPS option) are attached to the cot and are always available for your use. The siderails (XPS option) adjust
according to patient size and lock into seven positions. The siderails also adjust to fit through standard doorways or
elevators.
To raise the siderails, lift up on the siderail until it locks into the desired position.
To lower the siderails, lift up to relieve the weight, then pull the red lever (A) (Figure 51).
The XPS option is not a primary patient support surface. It includes a wider mattress and is intended to enhance
patient comfort.
CAUTION
• Do not use the XPS option with a standard mattress. Use the wider gatch bolster mattress (6500-003-130) with
the XPS option.
• Do not sit or stand on the siderails (XPS option).
• Do not use the siderails (XPS option) as a patient transfer device or surface (for example, to slide a patient from
the cot to another surface).
• Do not position patients with full weight on the siderails (XPS option).
• Do not use the siderails (XPS option) as a push/pull device or to steer the unit.
