·
The bed is supplied disassembled to be easily transported into the house. It is made up of
two wooden panels (head panel and foot panel), a mattress base with a motor, a
pantograph mechanism with an electric actuator, six bed rail bars and one trapeze bar
(accessory not included with the bed). The bed has four swivel wheels, all with a parking
brake.
·
Mattress base
The mattress base is divided into a backrest with auto-regression, a fixed central element, a
leg support and a knee raiser with ratchet. These elements are adjustable. The foot or head
parts of the mattress base can be adjusted in height horizontally or obliquely compared to
the floor. All the adjustments are performed by electric motors by using a hand control. The
mattress base can be extended by 15cm simply by moving the foot panel outwards and
the integral mattress support.
·
Bed Rails
To protect patients from possible accidental falls from the bed, the bed is equipped with
rails (meet clause 201.9.8.3.3.3 of IEC 60601-2-52) on both sides, which can act as a barrier
or be lowered when not in use. The blocking mechanism is locked and it can be released
only by pressing the button on the side.
·
Electric system
The electric operating system of this bed is safe and easy to use. It consists of:
·
Electronic controller. A minimum protection voltage of 24 volts is produced which is not
dangerous for the patient and the user. The electric motors and the hand control are
connected to the central controller with connectors, which work with a minimum
protection voltage of 24 volts.
·
Separate electric motors for the back and the leg supports.
·
Two electric motors to adjust the height of the mattress base (one in each bed end).
·
A hand control unit with fixed hook.
