Use & Care Guide
Welcome to your Siesta Hi-Lo! We hope that you will gain many years use of our
product. This guide tells you how to look after your Siesta Hi-Lo and make sure
that it is used in the way it is intended. Please read it carefully and keep it for
future reference. If the Siesta Hi-Lo is passed to another user, please ensure that
the person responsible for their care receives this guide. Please check the product
regularly to ensure it is in good condition and contact us if you have any concerns.
Supervision & Security
When used in accordance with this Guide, a Siesta Hi-Lo can provide a safer area for
people with limited mobility who would be unsafe in an ordinary bed. It is not suitable for
anyone who could pull themselves up on, or fall over the sides.
The Siesta Hi-Lo is not a substitute for supervision. The same level of supervision and
security should be applied as the individual using the Siesta Hi-Lo would require in any
room or bed. Unsupervised access to the outside of the Siesta Hi-Lo should not be
permitted. Do not allow the person using the equipment to have access to the Siesta Hi-Lo
handset.
Because an individual’s size, mobility & abilities can change over time, regular assessment
is needed to make sure that the product continues to meet the needs of the user.
The Siesta Hi-Lo cannot remove the risk of injury completely. Adequate and appropriate
supervision must be provided at all times.
Safe Distance
A minimum 25cm clear area around the Siesta Hi-Lo must be maintained at all times,
including when activating the bed base functions.
There is 12cm sideways travel as part of the Hi-Lo’s height adjustable function.
Please do not place or store any items in the gaps around the Safespace Hi-Lo e.g. furniture,
toys etc, as this will mean that the equipment cannot be used safely.
