A patient support apparatus comprising a patient support deck operatively attached to a base with a deck section arranged for movement between first and second positions determined by a deck sensor. A first user interface comprises a screen configured to display visual content including a content portion having first and second content states. A second user interface comprises an access panel including a panel portion with a light module having first and second illumination states. A controller is configured to display the content portion in the first content state and to control the light module in the first illumination state when the deck sensor determines the deck section is in the first section position, and to display the content portion on the screen in the second content state and to control the light module in the second illumination state when the deck section is in the second position.

In an example, a headrest for a procedure chair includes a headrest backing, a cushion coupled to the headrest backing, a rail coupled to the headrest backing and configured to support a diagnostic device, and an adapter coupled to the headrest backing and configured to couple to a procedure chair. At least one component chosen from the rail and the adapter is formed from an austenitic stainless steel material.

The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for controlling a patient bed of a medical device. A method includes determining whether a first gesture on the touch panel satisfies a first trigger condition; in response to determining that the first gesture satisfies the first trigger condition, generating, instructions for causing at least one icon to be displayed on the touch panel, the at least one icon being configured to control the movement of the patient bed; and determining at least one movement parameter of the patient bed based at least on a second gesture directed to the at least one icon.

A standing-up assist device including: a base portion; a shaft portion, having one end connected to the base portion, capable of moving at least up and down; a support portion provided at another end of the shaft portion; a control unit for controlling movement of the shaft portion; and a user information input unit to which information of a user is input, wherein the control unit changes a trajectory of the support portion according to health information on a predetermined part in a body of the user, which has been input from the user information input unit.

Devices, systems, and methods for patient support including adjustable longitudinal angle of attached patient support tops. The reference point for longitudinal angle adjustment is itself adjustable to accommodate particular patient positioning.

A patient lift system includes a motor and a drum. The drum is operably coupled to the motor. The drum can be selectively driven to rotate by the motor. A housing surrounds at least the motor and the drum. A load-bearing member is provided that includes a first end and a second end. The first end of the load-bearing member can be operably coupled to at least one of the housing and the drum. The second end of the load-bearing member can be operably coupled to a patient support assembly. An electrically conductive member can be positioned within the load-bearing member. A user interface is configured to actuate the patient support assembly in vertical and horizontal directions.

A method for detecting an exit of a patient from a hospital bed, the method comprising: detecting a presence of the patient on the bed, upon detection of the patient on the bed, monitoring an indication that the patient has moved from a predetermined patient area on a patient receiving surface of the bed to outside the predetermined patient area, upon detection that the patient has moved outside the predetermined patient area, activating a bed alarm to indicate to a user that an exit of the patient from the hospital bed has been detected, and after monitoring the indication that the patient has moved from the predetermined patient area and further upon receiving a pause command, suspending monitoring the indication that the patient has moved from the predetermined patient area. There is also provided a system for detecting an exit of a patient from a hospital bed.

A patient support apparatus, such as a bed, cot, stretcher, operating table, recliner, or the like, includes a litter frame, a support deck supported on the litter frame and adapted to support a mattress thereon, a touchscreen and a controller configured for carrying out various functions and to display various screens on the touchscreen, including screens for controlling a mattress therapy function or for controlling a non-mattress function of the patient support apparatus. A notification regarding the status of a mattress therapy function can be displayed on various screens. Status indications can be provided as a banner across a portion of the touchscreen.

A system for safely containing an infant on a mattress is described. The system includes a base that supports the mattress and panels that extend upwardly from the base and together form an enclosure around the mattress. A porthole is defined through at least one of the panels, where the porthole provides access into the enclosure. A porthole door has locked and unlocked positions and covers the porthole only in the locked position. A detection system detects when the porthole door is in the unlocked position. A lighting system is operatively coupled to the detection system and is configured to emit light when the porthole door is detected to be in the unlocked position. A power system provides energy to the lighting system for emitting the light.

A medical electrical equipment power tap has multiple sockets and a power cord with a maximum current rating. The power tap includes a display to indicate information related to an instantaneous current draw of the power tap. The power tap also includes an electrical circuit which determines whether the instantaneous current draw exceeds a predetermined maximum allowed current which is less than the maximum current rating. The display provides a visual indication when the power tap's current draw exceeds the maximum allowed value, signifying that at least one item of medical electrical equipment should be unplugged from the power tap. The electrical circuit includes a current loop which passes through a structural portion of the power tap's housing for independently gauging the instantaneous current draw using a clamp probe.
