Review of equipment

We have given you a bed grab handle or lever. We have assessed what you need according to your current situation.

Do not move or make changes to the bed lever or bed handle once it has been installed. 

If this equipment is used in the wrong situation, it might put you at risk of falling or getting trapped or caught up.  

It is important that you tell the equipment provider if anything changes. They will then check that it is still right for you.
