REDUCING THE RISK OF ENTRAPMENT
The Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup (HBSW) in partnership with the FDA has recognized potential
entrapment zones in hospital bed systems and has developed dimensional guidance to reduce the
risk of entrapment. The FDA considers the term "hospital bed system" to encompass the bed frame
and its components, including the mattress, bed side rails, assist bars, head and foot boards, and
any accessories to the bed.
The entrapment zones involve the relationship of components controlled by the healthcare facility or
individual user. Compliance to the dimensional guidelines for reducing the risk of entrapment is
primarily the responsibility of the healthcare facility or the individual user.
Anyone having any involvement with hospital bed systems should review and understand the FDA
guidelines. These guidelines, entitled "Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment
Guidance to Reduce Entrapment - Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff", are available at the FDA
website.
