Using the Bed Pan

The NOVA Bed Pan is intended for users who have difficulty getting out of bed to use the bathroom. Positioning and assistance needs can vary depending on the user’s mobility, strength, and care requirements, so the Bed Pan should be used in accordance with the user’s established care instructions.

Before Use

• Make sure the Bed Pan is clean and ready for use before positioning it.
• Inspect the molded plastic for cracks, sharp edges, or other damage before use.
• Place the Bed Pan within convenient reach when it will be used independently, or have a caregiver available when assistance is required.
• Follow any positioning or transfer instructions provided by the user’s healthcare or caregiving team.

Positioning the Bed Pan

NOVA identifies the 8107-R as a conventional-style bed pan for users who have difficulty getting out of bed. The manufacturer does not provide model-specific positioning instructions on the current product page, so positioning should be based on the user’s mobility and established care instructions rather than a one-size-fits-all technique.

For Caregivers

The Bed Pan weighs approximately 0.9 pounds and is designed to be easy to clean, making it relatively lightweight to handle during bedside care. When assisting another person, follow their established mobility and positioning requirements and avoid movements that could cause unnecessary discomfort.

Cleaning and Care

NOVA describes the 8107-R Bed Pan as odor resistant and easy to clean but does not specify a particular cleaner, disinfectant, water temperature, or cleaning procedure on the current manufacturer page. Clean the Bed Pan after use according to the care instructions supplied with the product and the hygiene procedures appropriate for the user’s care environment.
