7.0 ADDITIONAL FEATURES
7.1
nurse Call Connectivity
To connect bed to a nurse call system, a standard 37 pin connection and 1/4" jack are located at the
head end of the bed below the patient deck. When connected, bed will send an alarm signal to the
nurse call system if nurse call button is pressed on the patient control panel or the patient control hand
pendant. In addition, the nurse call system will be signaled if bed exit alarm is triggered.
7.2
Triple-Guard anti-entrapment System
The bed is equipped with a comprehensive anti-entrapment system that implements three separate
mechanisms to reduce the chance of objects becoming entrapped under the bed frame.
a) Optical Sensors
Six sets of optical sensors are positioned under the bed frame. These sensors emit a light
beam that, when interrupted, will prohibit the bed from lowering. If the light beams are
interrupted while the bed is in the process of lowering and has traveled at least 4 inches
below the highest bed height setting, the bed will stop and raise approximately 1.5 inches
to free any potential obstruction.
b) pressure plates
Pressure plates are positioned over each of the two caster sections. When an object comes
into sufficient contact with a pressure plate, the bed will not lower. If the bed is in the
process of lowering and has traveled at least 4 inches below the highest bed height setting,
the bed will stop and raise approximately 1.5 inches to free any potential obstruction.
c) Weight Scale System
The weight scale system is designed to detect when the bed frame comes into contact
with an object while lowering. If that occurs, the bed will stop lowering. If the bed is in the
process of lowering and has traveled at least 4 inches below the highest bed height setting,
the bed will stop and raise approximately 1.5 inches to free any potential obstruction.
7.3
antimicrobial plastic Surfaces
The surfaces of the side rails and footboards are embedded with Nano Ag antimicrobial granules to
inhibit the growth and potential colonization of mold, bacteria and/or fungus (example: Staphylococcus
aureus). The synthetic antimicrobial granules (1% by weight) are directly mixed into the thermoplastic
polymer compound during production, so the potential for bacteria to exist on the treated material is
dramatically reduced.
7.4
integrated uSB port
Integrated USB ports located on each of the patient side rail controls provide power to USB enabled
portable electronic devices. To utilize the USB port, slide the port cover to open position and insert a USB
cable into port. Connect cable to electronic device such as a phone or music player.
