VLT-931 Electric Fowler Bed

CONNECTIVITY (OPTIONAL)

The connectivity system has been developed for remote monitoring of the bed directly at the nursing station.

With the help of sensors, protocols were pre-set directly on the bed processor, allowing for better control in reducing patient falls, care times, nursing calls, patient positioning in bed, degree of back inclination due to lung problems and decubitus change intervals in order to provide greater comfort and avoid complications due to prolonged immobility, such as: decompressing areas of bony prominences, preventing lung complications and pressure ulcers and stimulating circulation.

When the protocols are activated, the bed monitors their functions and if any changes are detected, an audible alarm in the bed and a pop-up on the monitoring screen in the nurse will be initiated.

Points monitored: rails, brakes, bed height, presence of patient in bed, patient lying or sitting, weight, back inclination and decubitus change time.

GRAPHICAL INTERFACE

An LCM (liquid crystal module) display built into the grid, with special graphic controllers, in color and with touchscreen interaction, supports the graphic interface. Operation is intuitive, making it easy for caregivers and the Clinical Engineering team to visualize the bed's status.

It offers visualizations of patient information, such as back angle, trendelenburg and reverse, and activation of medical care protocols. Any changes detected will trigger an audible alarm in the bed and a pop-up will be shown on the display indicating which protocol has been activated.
On beds with integrated scales, a history of the patient's stored weights, BMI (body mass index) calculation, zeroing and tare of the scale will be shown on the display.

The maintenance status of the bed can be monitored via the Clinical Engineering screens, which provide information such as battery voltage and charge level, limits, currents, overloads, usage time, the ageing factor of each of the motors and the status of each of the bed's sensors.

PATIENT SAFETY

COMPLIANCE WITH IEC 60601-2-52

High-density polyethylene hinged side protection rails, certified to the new ABNT NBR IEC 60601-2-52:2013 standard, which standardizes patient safety measures such as: minimum rail height of 220 mm (above the mattress) covering more than 50% of the bed, spacing of less than 60 mm between the side rails and between the headboard/sideboard and the side rails, openings built into the rails/headboard/sideboard smaller than 120 mm and other spacing to avoid trapping the neck, chest and head. It has a mechanism for unlocking and moving the bed sideways, allowing it to be lowered into the bed, facilitating patient transfer and avoiding problems with probed patients.

ABDOMINAL COMPENSATION SYSTEM

Abdominal compensation system designed to reduce pressure on the patient's abdomen, where a 110 mm offset in the back is made during movement. Standard system for G-021 rails.

LAYOUT	HEAD
OPTIONAL: ABS bed: thermoformed ABS cover with ventilation and side flaps for the mattress. G-21 grid standard.	Headboard C-031. Optional: gray sticker.

GRID CONTROL AND SUPERVISOR
Grid and Supervisor Control (Optional): allows you to control grid locks and bed functions in the supervisor position.

CLEANING	POSTURE
Easy and immediate access for maintenance, cleaning and disinfection tasks (optional thermoplastic bed).
