Would you consider a bed that was designed with ergonomic siderails to facilitate patient ingress and egress with full‐up and full‐down, but without intermediate position an acceptable equivalent to point 1.1.12?

No, bed must have an intermediate position so that both siderails can be used simultaneously to assist patients and staff with ingress and egress.
