Optional Features
Air Support System
The Affinity® Three Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Bed feature air surface controls (located on both
the outside and inside of the siderail) for both seat and lumbar support. These controls provide improved
patient comfort during labor, recovery, and postpartum while minimizing the cost, maintenance, and labor
concerns associated with the use of overlays.
Seat Support:
Enables the patient to tailor her own comfort level. Provides pelvic support to improve practictioner access and
visibility during deliveries and repairs.The firmness or softness of the surface is controlled by increasing or
decreasing the amount of air contained in the air bladder. Patient and staff controls are embedded in both
siderails.
Lumbar Support:
Adds varying degrees of back support in the lumbar region to improve patient comfort both before and after
delivery. Fully inflated, the lumbar support allows positioning of the patient’s perineum out the V-Cut for
examination and delivery. The maximum lumbar inflation from a flat position to a full position is 4" (10 cm).
Siderail Controls
Built-In SideCom® Communication System Controls (Optional)
Every Affinity® Three Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Bed with siderail controls are pre-wired to
accommodate the SideCom® Communication System now or in the future. The SideCom® Communication
System enables integration of the backlit nurse call, entertainment (radio and TV), and lighting in the siderails.
The optional Universal TV is also available.
Built-In Siderail Controls
Patient and staff controls are embedded in the siderails on both sides of the bed.
The patient controls are always in full view of the patient, and the international graphic symbols provide easy
orientation. Patient head and foot section controls are embedded in the inside panel of the siderails (on both
sides of the bed) for the patient’s convenience. Powered operation allows the patient to respond to her body
signals and reduces her dependence on staff assistance for positioning, support, and comfort. These controls
include
Head Up/Head Down
and
Foot Up/Foot Down
.
Staff controls are embedded in the outside panel of both siderails. In addition to head and foot section controls,
the outside panel contains controls for the hilow operation.
