WHAT’S INVOLVED IN HOSPITAL BED SERVICING/INSTALLATION?

When it comes to hospital bed servicing, it’s imperative that every piece of the bed is working perfectly to deliver quality patient care.

Hospital beds are being used 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so they need to be in top condition for both the patient’s and the carer’s peace of mind. So, what’s included in hospital bed servicing?

HOW TO SERVICE/INSTALATION A HOSPITAL BED

The first thing to note is that you should only use a trained service engineer to carry out any kind of hospital equipment maintenance or servicing. Whether it’s overhead hoists, recliner chairs, or indeed hospital beds, you should leave it to an engineer to sort it out.

WHAT GETS CHECKED IN HOSPITAL BED SERVICING?

Practically every function and piece of the bed will be checked in a service. This is to ensure that the hospital bed is still performing as well as it should be, and to make sure that patients and staff are safe to use it.

The service engineer will carry out some visual checks on the bed first. This will give them a good idea of how the bed is faring up overall and it will help them identify any potential problem areas that might need some repair work.

They’ll check the bed ends, framework, base, and siderails for any obvious damage that might be a cause for concern. The engineer will also check the brakes and castors for any visible wear and tear that might affect the manoeuvrability of your bed.

After that, the engineer should check all the electronic components on the hospital bed, including the tilt, lifting, head, and foot mechanisms that make the bed profile and move around according to the position. They will also check the motors and control box on the bed for any visible damage.

If your bed is fitted with a sensor or an alarm to signify when a patient is off the bed, the engineer will check this to ensure that it is still in safe working order.

The engineer will also look at the handset (both the patient and nurse control panels), transformer, and power lead for wear and tear. Finally, they’ll check the full operation of the bed – including all the various positions it can move to – to see if there are any issues or problems with the movement of the hospital bed.

Hospital Bed Motors/Hospital Bed Actuator:

Hospital bed motor actuator drive. The linear actuator moves the bed up and down. It is the most important hospital bed part. Strong motor for electric beds selection. Self Levelling Motors for your medical bed systems.

Actuator solutions for hospital beds:

Hospitals across the world face a reality in which there are fewer staff to attend to an increasing number of patients. Those currently in need include the elderly, obese, and patients with multiple diagnoses. Both trends call for improved applications able to help improve comfort for patients, ergonomics for staff and efficiency levels for hospitals.
