Headboard
The headboard is removable and free of protrusions, so that in emergencies it
may be used for CPR applications. The hand grips on the headboard make
moving the Advanta™ Bed easier.
IV Rod Accommodation
There are four locations where an IV rod can be installed—two at the head end,
and two at the foot end. Each location has enough structural integrity to enable
the use of fracture frame equipment.
Bed Frame
The mattress is supported by a steel frame that is 36" x 83" (91 cm x 211 cm),
and is covered with four 16 gauge, formed steel panels. The panels have
formed, smooth edges for safety.
The frame has restraint attachments, drainage bag holders, and a mattress stop.
The restraint attachments are welded to the bottom side of the head and foot
sections. The mattress stop is attached to the foot section and can be folded
down when not in use.
Docking/Wall Protection
The bed can be equipped with various types of roller bumpers designed to
protect walls. The roller bumpers can be upgraded as desired.
Siderails
The bed has sectionalized half-length siderails. The bed is equipped with two
head siderails and two foot siderails as standard equipment. The siderails can
be retracted and stored under the sleep surface frame, which also aids in
maneuvering the bed through narrow spaces.
The foot siderails are equipped with an intermediate stop, which provides hand
holds for patients entering or exiting the bed.
Each head siderail contains patient bed controls and optional entertainment
controls on the inner side, and caregiver bed controls on the outer side. If the
optional Patient Position Monitoring (PPM) system is installed, the controls
are housed in the left head siderail on the caregiver side.
To adjust: To raise or lower the siderails, press the lever marked “push”
located near the siderail, and swing the siderail into the desired position. When
