Following us receiving a mail from Harry reporting a
dead link (thank you H) we have done some checking. It would appear that the
good old FDA have pulled the plug for them. See
http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/safety/032505-vail.html for more information. We are
going to keep the link just in case Vail put the site up again but it looks like
bad news for genuine users but could be good news for players. Keep your eyes
open for sales? If you see them please let us know and we'll post the details.
Does anyone know of these beds or similar being use in the UK?

Enclosed beds manufactured by Vail
Products were seized by U.S. marshals Tuesday after the FDA found
that 30 people had been trapped in the beds, seven of whom died. Not to
call light of the tragedy, but this sounds all too reminiscent of a
horror-movie-script cum advice-your-mamma-told-you: Man eats in bed, Bed
eats man.
I chatted with other docs in the office and
neither they nor I had any idea that U.S. marshals enforced FDA edicts. We
had some vague image of them riding around like mounted police, chasing
fugitives and hiding whistleblowers needing new identities...
The FDA said it directed U.S. marshals to
seize all finished Vail 500, 1000, and 2000 enclosed beds as well as
components, labelling and promotional materials for those models
The Vail 500 & 1000 Enclosed Bed are currently being sold
as safe alternative to restraints for both children and adult patients.

sides and accommodates IV lines and bedside equipment.82"

and the canopy, bed skirt and frame covers are machine washable in cold

The CanopyTM Enclosed Bed is another alternative
to traditional restraints and crib beds. It can give better range of
motion to a patient who needs to be protected from falls or discouraged
from getting out of bed unassisted.
The canopy is made from Staph-Check® healthcare
fabric, making it bacteria resistant, fire retardent and stain resistant.
It can be removed for washing and disinfecting. The large mesh panels are
easy to unzip from all four sides for complete patient access. Equipment
access ports allow the use of IV lines even when the bed is closed

Soma Safe Enclosure -
The canopy again is constructed of a soft medical grade anti-bacterial
nylon that prevents the patient from injury while still being strong
enough to provide safety.
The netting is sized to prevent the patient from putting their fingers
through it.
The netting is black in colour to improve visibility and prevent stains.
The frame is completely padded for patient safety.
The canopy can be laundered in a washing machine or hand wiped clean.
Strong locking nylon zippers prevent opening from the inside.
There are access ports for IV lines and catheters.
The canopy fits tight to the mattress to prevent patient entrapment.

The Utica crib was named for the New York State Lunatic
Asylum at Utica where it was heavily used in the 19th century to confine
patients who refused to stay in their beds. Based on a French design, the
structure was modified to incorporated slats and rungs that gave it an
appearance similar to a child's crib.
The New York State
Lunatic Asylum at Utica had over 50 such cribs in the early 1880s

This is believed to be a Pedicraft
Crib or Hard Manufacturing. Both side rails raise and lower. The crib top
will also raise and lower to completely enclose the crib. The crib is on
wheels for easy transport, and three of the wheels lock. The
crib is constructed of stainless steel and has a fully waterproof matress. Weight of
the bed is approximately 205 pounds. |

Swaddling Device
The makers say its easy to utilize, safe, and humane.
Multiple straps with hook and loop fasteners on arms, legs,
chest, and lower torso.
One size fits over most single mattresses and thus becomes
part of the bed oh, and its washable.
