• Versatile therapeutic positionings: the four motorized and power-assisted sections allow reaching specific clinical positions (Trendelenburg, reverse Trendelenburg, semi-Fowler) adaptable to different pathologies and care protocols, reducing manual repositioning time.
• Simplified hygienic maintenance: the removable and washable ABS covers, together with the HPL panel of the ends, facilitate decontamination and sanitization, reducing cleaning times between patients.
• Guaranteed operational safety: low-voltage motors with anti-crush and anti-shear systems protect against accidental risks; the CPR maneuver is facilitated by the quick backrest release, a critical element in emergencies.
• Stability and mobility control: the two-axis braking device, non-marking wheels, and bilateral pedals allow precise and safe movement even in tight spaces, with reduced physical effort for operators.
• Autonomy in case of power failure: rechargeable batteries guarantee approximately 10 emergency movement cycles, ensuring continuity in critical positioning even during electrical outages.
• Extended patient ergonomics: variable height and multiple articulations reduce the risk of pressure sores and musculoskeletal discomfort during prolonged stays, improving the overall quality of hospitalization.

This bed is intended for general inpatient wards, intensive care units (ICU), semi-intensive care units, emergency rooms, resuscitation rooms, and long-term care facilities. It applies in contexts where postural management is critical: patients with mechanical ventilation, post-operative patients, patients with respiratory, circulatory, or neurological pathologies requiring repeated repositioning.

It is suitable for environments where staff frequently perform CPR maneuvers, require facilitated lateral access (for central lines, chest drains, monitoring), and where rapid movement is essential in case of emergency.

Specific contexts: public and private hospitals of all sizes, multi-specialty clinics, rehabilitation facilities with acute patients, and emergency medicine departments where the load of critical patients is significant.

Choose this bed when your healthcare facility prioritizes postural versatility, emergency reliability, and ease of maintenance. It is the correct choice if the departments manage patients with medium-high clinical complexity (ICU, semi-intensive care, long-term care) where the number of daily movements is high and postural accuracy is critical.

It is suitable if you have standard inpatient spaces (width 202 cm manageable in single and double rooms) and if the facility has a nursing team that prioritizes the reduction of manual handling and continuous hygienic control.

Operating prerequisites: stable electrical connection with integrated emergency system/UPS, staff training on motorized controls (10-button handset), adequate maneuvering space (consider +20 cm for optional side rail opening), routine maintenance on batteries and motors according to manufacturer deadlines.

It is not the correct choice if the prevailing need is patient transport (prefer motorized stretcher beds) or if the departments require ultra-compact configurations (widths <180 cm).

What is the difference between the power-assisted leg section and the other motorized sections?

The leg section is not independently motorized but is gas spring-assisted and moves in synchrony with the femoral section. This means that when the femoral section rises (0-25°), the leg section follows the movement in a coordinated manner (approx. 0-35°) without requiring a separate control. This synchronization reduces the risk of patient discomfort and automatically maintains the physiological alignment of the lower limbs. The backrest and femoral sections, on the other hand, respond to independent motorized controls.

How is the CPR maneuver performed on this bed?

The bed is equipped with a quick backrest release that allows for an instantaneous switch from any articulated position to a completely flat and rigid configuration, facilitating external chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The maneuver is indicated when the patient is in cardiac arrest: the operator activates the dedicated button and the backrest section locks into full extension without the need for additional mechanical interventions.

Which certification and regulations govern this bed?

The hospital bed must comply with the UNI EN 60601-2-52 standard (safety of motorized hospital beds), the Directive 93/42/EEC (medical devices), and specific regulations on crush prevention (EN 60601-1-6). The structure must also comply with regulations on painting (thermosetting epoxy), equipotential bonding for protection against static electrical discharges, and national technical prescriptions for hospital furniture. It is recommended to check the CE declaration of conformity and testing certificates before purchase.

Are the emergency batteries sufficient for a full stay?

No, the batteries are not intended for prolonged autonomy. With a duration of approximately 10 cycles (defined as 10 complete movements from the initial to the final position), they guarantee operational continuity during short power outages or emergency situations where it is necessary to move the patient quickly (e.g., backrest release for CPR, anti-Trendelenburg positioning, height variation during evacuation). For normal stays, a stable connection to the facility’s power grid is indispensable.

How much space should be considered for the insertion of optional side rails?

The compass-style side rails are inserted laterally into the provided housings. When applied, the overall dimensions of the bed undergo variations depending on the type and configuration of the rails (usually an increase of 10-20 cm per side). It is necessary to check with the manufacturer for the exact dimensions of the chosen rails and adjust the inpatient space accordingly, especially in environments with dimensional constraints.

How is the sanitization of removable components performed?

The ABS covers of the bed base and the HPL panel of the ends are completely removable and can be washed using standard hospital detergents, in industrial washing machines, or manually with hot water and approved disinfectants. This modularity allows for rapid decontamination between patients, reducing bed downtime. It is essential to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for maximum temperatures and chemical compatibility of detergents.

Is the braking system sufficient to prevent unwanted movements on sloping floors?

The bed is equipped with a braking device on two axes with a directional system and non-marking wheels (150 mm diameter). The bilateral brakes block mobility in anteroposterior and lateral movements when activated. On sloping floors or in emergency conditions, it is the responsibility of healthcare personnel to verify that the brakes are fully activated via the bilateral pedals. It is not recommended to park the bed on significant slopes without additional anchoring systems, in compliance with the hospital facility’s safety regulations.
