LOW HEIGHT OF 27.5 CM (10.8 IN)
Helps to reduce the severity of patients‘ falls.
Falls Prevention
Challenges
- 75% of falls are unwitnessed (1)
- Patient falls are the most common adverse events in hospitals, with up to 1 million occurring annually in the U.S. (2)
- Each in-hospital fall can increase costs by up to $36,776 (3)
- In-hospital falls can result in hospital stays that are 11.5 days longer (2)
SOLUTIONS
3-ZONE BED EXIT ALERT WITH BUILT-IN VOICE GUIDANCE
Monitors patients and notifies caregivers when they attempt to leave the bed, while also providing voice reminding the patient to stay in bed and that assistance is on the way.
LOWEST POSITION INDICATOR
Green LED light is triggered when the bed reaches lowest position.
I-BRAKE® & BRAKE ALERT
The automatically engaged i‑Brake® reduces the risk of patient falls caused by an unstable bed and emits an audible signal when the bed is left unbraked while the main power cable is connected.
NIGHT LIGHT
Undercarriage light helps with patient orientation in the room overnight.
