Product Highlights
(I) Applicable Departments
Emergency Room: In the fast-paced and critical environment of the emergency room, this transfer bed is invaluable. It allows for quick and efficient movement of patients from the ambulance stretcher to the emergency department beds, ensuring seamless continuity of care. The folding guardrails provide added safety during the transfer, preventing accidental falls, while the various accessories such as the oxygen cylinder storage rack and IV pole holder enable immediate access to essential medical equipment.
Gastroscope Room: When patients need to be transported to and from the gastroscope room for procedures, the MCF0438 bed offers a comfortable and convenient solution. The thickened mattress provides support and comfort during the short journey, and the bed's maneuverability, thanks to the double-sided casters and central lock, allows for easy positioning in the procedure room.
Operating Room: In the operating room, this transfer bed serves as a reliable means of transporting patients to and from the operating table. Its sturdy construction and smooth movement ensure that patients can be transferred with minimal disruption. The IV pole and its holder allow for the uninterrupted administration of fluids and medications during the transfer, and the optional record table can be used to keep important patient documents and notes within easy reach.
(II) Standard Functions
1. Bed Body and Mattress
Bed Body: The bed body is designed with durability and functionality in mind. It provides a stable and reliable platform for patient transfer, with a structure that can withstand the rigors of frequent use in a busy healthcare setting.
Thickened Mattress: The thickened mattress offers enhanced comfort and support for patients. It is designed to reduce pressure points and provide a more comfortable experience during transportation, especially for patients who may be in pain or discomfort.
2. Safety and Maneuverability Features
Stainless Steel Folding Guardrail: The stainless steel folding guardrail is a key safety feature. It can be easily folded up or down, providing a secure enclosure for the patient when needed and allowing for unobstructed access during patient loading and unloading. The guardrail is strong and durable, ensuring patient safety throughout the transfer process.
Double Sided Caster: The double-sided casters enable smooth and effortless movement of the bed in any direction. They are designed to rotate freely, allowing for easy navigation through narrow corridors and tight spaces in the healthcare facility. The casters are also durable and can withstand the weight of the patient and any attached equipment.
Central Lock: The central lock provides added stability when the bed is stationary. It allows the casters to be locked in place, preventing accidental movement of the bed during patient transfer or when the bed is parked. This feature is especially important in situations where precise positioning of the patient is required.
Fifth Round Center: The fifth round center enhances the bed's stability and maneuverability. It helps to distribute the weight evenly and allows for smooth turning and pivoting of the bed, making it easier to maneuver in confined areas.
Base Cover: The base cover not only provides a clean and finished look to the bed but also protects the internal components from dust and debris. It is easy to clean and maintain, ensuring the longevity of the transfer bed.
3. Additional Accessories
Oxygen Cylinder Storage Rack: The built-in oxygen cylinder storage rack is a convenient feature that allows for the secure storage and transportation of oxygen cylinders. This ensures that oxygen is readily available for patients who require it during the transfer, without the need for additional handling or storage solutions.
Hand Crank: The hand crank provides an alternative means of adjusting the height or position of the bed in case of power failure or when a more precise adjustment is needed. It is easy to operate and gives the healthcare provider greater control over the bed's movement.
IV Pole and IV Pole Holder: The IV pole and its holder are essential for patients who are receiving intravenous fluids or medications. The pole is sturdy and adjustable, allowing for the proper hanging and administration of IV bags. The holder keeps the pole in a stable position, even during the movement of the bed.
(III) Optional Features
Double Open Guardrail: For added patient safety and accessibility, the double open guardrail option provides a more open and convenient access to the patient from both sides of the bed. This can be particularly useful in situations where medical procedures need to be performed on the patient while on the transfer bed.
Single Side Caster: In some cases, a single side caster option may be preferred, depending on the specific layout and requirements of the healthcare facility. This option allows for more flexibility in the bed's movement and can be beneficial in areas with limited space or where a more customized maneuvering is needed.
Thickened Mattress: The option to upgrade to an even thicker mattress is available for those who require additional comfort and support for patients. This can be especially beneficial for long transfers or for patients with specific medical conditions that require extra cushioning.
Record Table: The record table is a practical addition for healthcare providers. It provides a convenient surface for keeping patient records, writing notes, or placing medical instruments during the transfer. This helps to keep all necessary information and equipment within easy reach, improving the efficiency of patient care.
Usage Instructions
Before using the transfer bed, ensure that all parts are in proper working condition. Check the folding guardrails, casters, locks, and other accessories.
Adjust the bed to the appropriate height using the hand crank or other height adjustment mechanism, if available. This should be done to match the height of the patient's current position (e.g., ambulance stretcher or hospital bed) for a smooth transfer.
Fold down the guardrails if they are in the up position to allow for easy patient loading. Carefully transfer the patient onto the bed, ensuring that they are properly positioned and comfortable.
Once the patient is on the bed, raise the guardrails and lock them in place for patient safety during transport.
Secure any necessary medical equipment, such as the oxygen cylinder in the storage rack and the IV bag on the pole.
Unlock the casters and use the double-sided casters to maneuver the bed to the desired location. The central lock can be used to stop the bed and ensure stability when needed.
During the transfer, monitor the patient's condition and ensure that the IV lines and other connections are secure.
Upon arrival at the destination, repeat the process in reverse to transfer the patient off the bed.
Maintenance and Care
Regularly clean the bed body, mattress, and guardrails with a mild detergent and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the materials.
Check the casters regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Lubricate the casters as needed to ensure smooth movement.
Inspect the folding guardrails and locks for proper functioning. Tighten any loose screws or parts.
Clean and disinfect the oxygen cylinder storage rack and IV pole holder regularly.
If the bed has a power-operated mechanism, follow the manufacturer's instructions for maintaining and servicing the electrical components.
Store the transfer bed in a clean, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
