Structural Design
Mattress base
The mattress base is divided into a backrest, a seat section, a thigh rest and a
lower leg rest. The mattress base height can be adjusted horizontally, and can be
tilted into a Trendelenburg or anti-Trendelenburg position. Optionally, the mattress
base can be tilted sideways along its longitudinal axis (lateral tilting).
All adjusting functions are electrically powered. The components for the electric
drive system are mounted in the mattress base.
Chassis
Under the mattress base is a crank chassis that has an electric adjustment facility
for adjusting the height and inclination. The bed has four castors that can be
centrally locked. One of the castors is equipped with a steering lock which
enables the bed to be moved in a straight line.
Safety sides
The bed is equipped with an integrated "Multiflex" safety side system to protect
the occupant from accidentally falling out of bed.
Electric drive system
The electric drive system for this bed consists of:
-
A central control unit, installed underneath the mattress base, with a
transformer that generates a 24 volt protective low voltage, which is harmless
for patients and users. The drives, the handset, and the control box are
connected to the control unit. These components operate on the 24 volt
protective low voltage generated and have dust and water protected plug
connections.
-
Rechargeable batteries for emergency operation, independent of the mains
supply;
-
A handset for use by the patient to adjust the bed;
-
Two drives for mattress base height adjustments and tilting to a Trendelenburg
and reverse-Trendelenburg position
-
A drive for the backrest
-
A drive for the thigh rest
-
An electric motor for lateral tilting of the mattress base (optional feature).
-
An integrated control box
Nursing staff can use this to disable adjusting functions individually, if necessary,
and also carry out a variety of special functions and emergency adjustments.
