WARNING Possible ENTRAPMENT, SUFFOCATION, and/or APHIXIATION HAZARD exists when bed is used with patient restraint mechanisms of any type. Patient restraint mechanisms can cause SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH if not affixed and/or adjusted properly. CHG Hospital Beds does not recommend and/or condone the use of patient restraints. However a qualified healthcare practitioner, leveraging their experienced medical judgment and following established healthcare best practices, believes that the patient may attempt to do harm to themselves and/or others, patient restraints may be prescribed as being medically necessary to safeguard the wellbeing of the patient and/or staff. Patient restraints shall be used, affixed, and/or adjusted ONLY by qualified healthcare practitioners after the patient has been clinically assessed as requiring specialized treatment and/or restricted mobility.

WARNING A Spirit Platform™ Bed is a customer requested bed configuration that is intended to perform a specialized function and has several unique differences from regular hospital and/or long term care facility beds.

The Spirit™ Platform Bed is a non-powered bed with no moving parts. Emergency functions such as Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg are NOT available.

A Spirit™ Platform Bed is NOT intended for normal ward use.

WARNING Before any patient is placed in the Spirit Platform™ Bed, CHG Hospital Beds recommends that a qualified healthcare practitioner thoroughly assess the needs of every patient on a case-by-case basis to determine the level of care a patient requires.

If a qualified healthcare practitioner, leveraging their experienced medical judgment and following established healthcare best practices, believes there is a potential for the patient to become physically violent and/or to inflict harm on themselves and/or others, CHG Hospital Beds recommends that floor anchors be used to prevent unauthorized bed motion to safeguard the wellbeing of patients and/or staff.


Mattress Specifications A mattress is not included with the Spirit Platform™ Bed. A CHG Hospital Beds’ mattress is recommended. It is recommended that the length and width of the mattress suitably fits the mattress deck. It is also recommended that the mattress has a thickness of 6" (152 mm).

WARNING DO NOT use the Spirit Platform™ Bed without a mattress having a thickness of at least 6" (152 mm) and of recommended dimensions.

The mattress MUST entirely rest upon the mattress deck and MUST fit snugly between the head and foot boards.

The mattress MUST fit snugly within the mattress keepers (when so equipped).

WARNING Possible patient ENTRAPMENT Hazard or FALL RISK exists if using a non-specified mattress.

Patient entrapment may result in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH. Use only a mattress of recommended specifications with the Spirit Platform™ Bed. CHG Hospital Beds will not be responsible for any injury to patient and/or staff and/or damage to bed that may result with use of non specified mattress.

WARNING CHG Hospital Beds recommends that the customer perform a thorough patient assessment to determine if the bed system and mattress selection is appropriate for the patient on the basis of their clinical needs, fall risk, and mental capacity. CHG Hospital Beds is of the belief that to ensure maximum patient safety, there is simply no substitute for frequent patient monitoring by qualified healthcare practitioners. CHG Hospital Beds also recommends that the customer conduct and document a patient entrapment risk assessment for every mattress combination that is intended for use on the Spirit™ Platform Bed to identify and address any exposure to areas of potential patient entrapment and/or fall risk as part of a comprehensive and proactive bed safety program.
