(1) E-3

ENTERPRISE 3000

Improved patient management. A well-designed electric profiling hospital bed can offer significant advantages. These include enhanced safety, increased patient independence, faster recovery from illness and improved efficiency.

Smart, Safe ...and affordable. The E-3 electric profiling bed offers first-rate features and a modern, stylish design at a very competitive price. It offers excellent benefits in key areas:

Falls Prevention

An excellent low height of 380 (14 ¾”) mm helps to reduce the risk of patient injury through falls, and facilitates patient transfers to and from the bed.

Pressure Area Care

The patented profiling system gives better pressure reduction than standard profiling beds, which helps to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers.

Infection Control

The bed has been designed to be easy to clean and decontaminate, which helps to reduce infection control risks.

Moving and Handling

To cater for heavier patients, the bed has a safe working load of 230kg (506 lbs). This, combined with the fully electric operation, minimises the risk of injury to carers and helps to increase patient independence.

Compared to a conventional profiling bed:

(A), the Pro-Contour Advance Profiling on the E-3 bed raises the pivot point of the backrest and thigh section closer to the client’s natural pivot point (their hip joint)

(B). It mimics the way a person’s tissues stretch as they move from lying to sitting and reduces compression on the mattress surface at the seat section. This offers major benefits over conventional profiling beds:

• Enhanced pressure, shear and friction reduction

• Excellent postural support

• Exceptional comfort.

Exceptional Low Height

The excellent low height of 380 mm (14 ยพโ€) enhances the safety of both patients and carers. It allows easier downward transfers from wheelchairs, chairs etc. In addition, for patients who are at risk of falling and the use of safety sides is considered to be inappropriate, the bed can be left at its lowest height.

Safe Working Load

The safe working load of 230 kg (506 lbs) allows for the safe management of heavier patients, without the need to source specialist equipment.

Intelligent Profiling System

On descent, the knee-break stays raised until the backrest is semi-flat (1). Both the backrest and knee-break then descend together until they reach a flat position simultaneously (2). This is unique to the E- serries โ€“ on other beds the knee-break descends regardless of backrest angle, which can result in the client sliding down the bed. The intelligent profiling on the E-3 bed maximises comfort and reduces pressure, shear and friction. This helps to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers.

(2) E-5

ENTERPRISE 5000

The Enterprise 5000 bed has been designed with risk management, ease of use and servicing in mind, and offers unique benefits in key areas:

* Falls Prevention: An exceptional low height of 30 cm.

* Pressure Area Care: The patented Bio-Contour® profiling system gives superior pressure reduction.

* Infection Control: Designed with the aim of being the easiest in the world to clean and decontaminate.

* Manoeuvrability: It weighs significantly less than other electric hospital profiling beds and is very easy to manoeuvre.

* Service / Engineering: Designed for “pit stop maintenance” – open accessibility means all changes can be carried out in situ within a few minutes by one person.

Standard Features

This bed has folding safety sides with pendant handsets. (See also E-8 series for common features and options availability). Falls prevention is a major risk management consideration in hospitals today. Patient falls can cause injuries to both staff and patients. This can result in physical and psychological distress and increased costs due to staff sickness, longer hospital stays and litigation. The exceptional low height of 30 cm significantly reduces the risk of injuries due to falls.

The E-5 bed has been designed with risk management, ease of use and servicing in mind, and offers unique benefits in key areas:

Falls Prevention: An exceptional low height of 30 cm.

Pressure Area Care: The patented Bio-Contour profiling system gives superior pressure reduction.The unique patented Bio-Contour 3-dimensional profiling system offers outstanding pressure, shear and friction reduction. It consists of:

• Curved mattress platform: The lateral curve on the mattress platform mimics the shape of a person’s back much more closely than a flat surface. This results in lower pressures in the middle of the patient’s back, both when the bed is flat and through all profiles

• Intelligent profiling system

• Unique combination of mattress platform movements

Infection Control: Designed with the aim of being the easiest in the world to clean and decontaminate.

Manoeuvrability: It weighs significantly less than other electric hospital profiling beds and is very easy to manoeuvre.

Service / Engineering: Designed for “pit stop maintenance” – open accessibility means all changes can be carried out in situ within a few minutes by one person.

(3) E-8

ENTERPRISE 8000

E-8 has split safety sides with embedded handsets.

Falls prevention is a major risk management consideration in hospitals today. Patient falls can cause injuries to both staff and patients. This can result in physical and psychological distress and increased costs due to staff sickness, longer hospital stays and litigation. The exceptional low height of 30 cm significantly reduces the risk of injuries due to falls. For additional patient safety, an optional audible alarm on the E-8 bed detects when the patient exits the bed.

Standard Features:

* Safe working load 250 kg

* Electrically operated height, tilt, backrest, knee-break and calf section adjustment

* Bio-contour profiling

* Battery back up

* Split safety sides with embedded control: The gaps in and around the safety sides are fully compliant with IEC 60601-2-38 (the International Standard for Electrically Actuated Hospital Beds), to minimise entrapment risks.

* Function lockouts

* Auto-CPR and dual sided manual CPR levers

* Underbed light: Underbed lighting improves patient safety and security by illuminating the bed exit area.

* Angle indicators for backrest and thigh section

* Calf section raised / lowered selectable by carer

* Built in bed extension with mattress retainer

* Full width bed stripper

* Linked braking / steering system

* Zero transfer gap: A zero transfer gap when the split safety sides are folded down allows easier patient transfers.

* Curved mattress platform: The lateral curve on the mattress platform mimics the shape of a personโ€™s back much more closely than a flat surface. This results in lower pressures in the middle of the patientโ€™s back, both when the bed is flat and through all profiles. The mattress platform of the bed mimics the way a personโ€™s tissues stretch as they move from a lying to a sitting position and reduces mattress compression at the seat section. This results in reduced pressure, shear and friction, improved comfort and improved postural support. The unique perimeter ensures total mattress retention, securing the mattress in its correct position through all profiles. As a result, correct gaps are maintained, reducing entrapment risks

* Optional anti-entrapment system: The anti-entrapment sensors detect an object/person underneath the bed. The bed will automatically stop lowering until the obstruction is removed reducing the risk of entrapment to the patient, staff or equipment.

Steam Cleaning

Low pressure, high temperature steam is an effective and efficient method of decontaminating hospital equipment. Advantages of steam cleaning include:

โ€ข Improved bactericidal efficacy โ€“ when applied at the correct temperature and pressure steam destroys micro-organisms in under 2 seconds - including multiresistant strains and bacterial spores

• Improved decontamination – steam penetrates awkward, difficult to reach areas

โ€ข Reduced use of chemicals which can be hazardous to health, damaging to surfaces and can contribute to microbial resistance

• Low water usage – steam cleaning uses less water than other decontamination methods

• Instantly dry surfaces, ready for immediate re-use

• Environmentally friendly.

The E-5 and E-8 beds have been designed so that most parts are able to be safely steam cleaned using purpose-designed tools. The beds have nylon self-lubricating joints, so unlike many other hospital beds there is no grease on the joints that could be removed by the steam. There are many low pressure steam cleaning machines available. These vary a great deal in terms of specification, price and efficacy. In order to be effective, the steam must be applied at a sufficiently high temperature and pressure.
