SIDERAILSare a crucial element for protecting a re-cumbent patient against a fall. The Ele-ganza Smart bed brings a totally new si-derail concept, so-called full-length split siderails. Their merit is a combination of all the strengths of the existing siderails.

QUICK MOBILISATIONis the basis for convalescence and remo-val of negative consequences of the immo-bilisation syndrome. The new siderail con-struction solution helps patients to get up safely. It also facilitates the work of staff and contributes to reducing the incidence of job-related illnesses in the nursing pro-fession.

SIMPLE BED HYGIENEis part of effective preventive measures against hospital infections. Increasing the risk of infection means a threat to patients and their successful treatment. The Ele-ganza Smart bed construction enables easy access to all parts of the bed and the materials used make hygiene simpler.

COLUMN UNITis a patented LINET company solution. The bed’s unique construction base provides great stability and guarantees functiona-lity even at a safe working load of 230 kg. The column construction allows the bed to be adjusted to the TR/ATR and cardiac chair positions. The smooth joint-free co-lumn construction is the basis for very sim-ple hygiene.

FEATURE VARIABILITYof the Eleganza Smart bed brings an op-timum solution for various hospital depart-ments and for the various needs of indivi-dual users. The bed’s confi guration can be selected so it fully meets the specifi c de-mands of nursing staff and the hospitalised patients.


Unique Siderail Safety Concept

The Eleganza Smart bed’s new safety concept brings a unique solution for the demanding requirements of health workers on siderail functionality. The unique full-length split siderail system protects the recumbent patient from an unwanted fall.

The siderails enable nursing staff to have individual access to patients based on their actual needs and real health condition. Should a nurse be performing a procedure during which one siderail is lowered, the other remains in a safe posi-tion. So the patient is constantly protected against a fall or different injury.

READY FOR A NEW STANDARDThe bed siderails are one of three main problem areas dealt with in detail by a new standard for electrically adjustable beds, the EN 60601-2-52.

Siderails meeting the requirements of the new standard can guarantee that when used they reduce the risk of dangerous situations to a minimum, such as head or neck entrapment or a recumbent patient’s limbs becoming trapped. They pre-vent situations which may have fatal repercussions. The standard defi nes the very precise distance values and intervals which prevent a patient’s head or limbs from being trapped between the siderails, or between the siderails and mattress platform. The Eleganza Smart siderails fully meet the prescribed dimensions.

In response to the increased incidence of injury associated with bed construction 7 areas and their dimensions were defi ned, including bed handling procedures, to reduce the risks of trapping the patient. The recommendation of this guideline complies with the requirements of the new EN 60601-2-52 standard.

7 SAFETY ZONES


Medical complications arising from extended immobility may seriously affect the process of a patient’s recovery. The threat is all the more serious because all or-gan systems react to the loss of mobile activity. Immobility increases the risk of thromboembolic conditions, uroinfections, the incidence of pressure sores, makes respiration worse and causes degradation of the musculoskeletal apparatus.

Immobility is a secondary cause of weakening of the muscles, serious dementia, worse eyesight and fracture of the thigh and shin bones.

Falls are a common phenomena in hospitals and other medical and social facilities. They pose a great medical, social and econo-mic problem. Falls cause unpleasant complications with serious implications. The hospitalisation period is extended. The patient suffers pain which prevents further therapy. The hospital could be threatened by lawsuits.

According to many statistics, serious injuries occur in 5% of falls in hospitals and social facilities, above all resulting in fractures. 15% of falls cause light injuries, but over 45% of people after an injury caused by a fall remain in permanent institutional care.

Mobilisation means easier convalescence. The Eleganza Smart bed is equipped with a system of elements, which facilitate patient mobilisation and guarantee safety when verticalising mobile activities.

MOBILISATION A RETURN TO LIFE

3. The patient in the vertical position holds onto the siderail, thanks to which she can take the fi rst safe steps.

2. The patient holds onto the siderail with both hands, and can select the bed’s appropriate height for getting up using the integrated control.

Original Features for Quality Care

The Eleganza Smart bed is a new generation from the successful range of Eleganza products. It has a series of original functions signifi cantly improving the quality of patient care and facilitating the demanding work of nursing staff.

SIMPLE BED HYGIENEPerfect bed hygiene is one of the foundations for effective nosocomial infection prevention. The Eleganza Smart bed meets the needs of quick disinfection with a simple and easy-to-clean construction.

Among the most exposed parts of the bed touched by staff and the patient several times a day are the bed ends and siderails. So joint-free technology is applied to their production mini-mising the transmission of nosocomial infections.

COLUMN CONSTRUCTIONThe Eleganza Smart bed’s main bed con-struction feature is its linear column unit, the so-called column construction. Telesco-pic, electrically driven column units bring a number of user benefi ts to healthcare.

Electrical positioning Simple hygiene Great stability and load capacity Modern design

The easily removable mattress platform covers are simple to wash and allow access to other parts of the bed allowing total bed hygiene.

The smooth column construction without diffi cult-to-reach joints and gaps means it has a great head start in the hygiene sphere over other electrical bed construction mechanisms.

The bed’s two mirror TR (Trendelenburg) and ATR (Anti-Trendelenburg) positions have an irreplaceable role in acute care.

The linear column unit is protected by a European patent.

FEATURE VARIABILITYThe broad range of equipment the customer can select based on his real needs will adapt the Eleganza Smart bed to the requirements of va-rious departments and specifi c patients.

THE INTEGRATED EXTENSION of the bed allows adjustment of the bed’s length to the individual height of the patient (+15 cm).

THE 5th CASTOR makes it easy for staff to handle the bed when tur-ning corners and in places with restricted space.

DESIGNED BED ENDS AND ¾ SIDERAILS provide the Eleganza Smart with an interesting appearance. They have the same function as a bed with full-length split siderails.

The cardiac chair position is used for heart problems (cardiac insufficiency or blood clots) for easier ex-tends and as support du-ring drainage. It is very comfortable and patients can use it during daily ac-tivities such as reading, watching TV, and when ea-ting.

An important aid in the fi ght against pressure sores is au-toregression of the mattress platform. The positioning of the backrest extends the pel-vic area by 11 cm. This redu-ces pressure and minimises friction forces which contri-bute to the formation of dan-gerous pressure sores.
