• Ultra-low resting position reduces falls injury and trauma • Height range allows in-bed care at the correct height • Height range reduces the risk of falls getting in and out of bed • Eases the strain of manual handling • Eliminates the need for side-rail restraint when patient resting • Reduces the need to watch restless patients • Helps reduce hospital stays and bed-blocking • Helps reduce ward staffing levels and costs • Cuts the cost of treatment and compensation resulting from patient falls injury and staff back-strain • Exceptional height range 20-85cm • Full lock and steer for manoeverability at any height • Embedded footboard controls • Embedded patient controls • Selective and full security lock-out • Backrest and knee profiling • Auto-profiling • Instant CPR • Trendelenberg and reverse trendeleberg • Bed and deck angle monitoring • Auto cardiac chair position • Extendable deck length for taller patients • Removeable head and foot board • Fold-down quad rails for safe resting and patient transfer • Battery back-up with power monitor • Life-time anti-microbial surface treatment • Easy-clean decking
Key tips
- ·Mounting and securement hardware takes real fatigue from vibration and road shock - inspect it as carefully as the device itself.
- ·Post-call battery and function checks catch transport-induced faults that a scheduled PM would miss for months.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Battery / runtime fault
HighSymptoms: Short runtime, low-battery alarm.
Root cause: Aged battery.
Connector / cable fatigue
MediumSymptoms: Intermittent signal/power.
Root cause: Repeated flexing.
Transport mount / cradle wear
LowSymptoms: Loose device, vibration damage.
Root cause: Docking latch wear.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Post-call function and battery check
- ·Mounting / securement inspection
- ·Annual full PM and vibration-tolerance check
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Battery / runtime fault
- Confirm the presentation - typically short runtime, low-battery alarm - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: aged battery.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the rechargeable battery pack per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
Symptom: Transport mount / cradle wear
- Confirm the presentation - typically loose device, vibration damage - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: docking latch wear.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the docking cradle / latch per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
