Huntleigh Nesbit Evans Electric Profiling Hospital Bed with Hospital Mattress, Integral Side Rails and Handset, Pre-owned

An electric profiling hospital bed built by the Nesbit Evans Products Division of Huntleigh Healthcare Ltd, Woden Road West, Wednesbury, supplied complete with a hospital mattress, its handset controller, its integral folding side rails and its wooden head and foot boards. The mattress is selected at the point of order as either foam or an alternating air system. Huntleigh's own service documentation abbreviates the division to HNE, and beds carrying the Nesbit Evans badge sit at the start of the lineage that became the ArjoHuntleigh Contoura range. More than one of these beds is available, and quantity is confirmed at the point of order.

The deck profiles under power and the whole bed rises and falls on its mechanism, and those are two separate jobs. Profiling raises the backrest and breaks the knee so a patient can be sat up for feeding, for respiratory comfort or to move weight off the sacrum, and so the sitting position is reached without being dragged up the mattress. The height function is the manual handling control: it brings the working height to the carer rather than asking the carer to stoop. Under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 that is the part of a powered bed which reduces back injury among the people doing the work, and it is why a powered bed replaces a wind-up frame wherever there is daily care.

What makes these particular beds worth buying is that they are complete. A bed that comes out of a decommissioning usually arrives as a frame: no mattress, no rails, no bed ends, no handset, and a parts hunt before anyone can be nursed in it. These are supplied with a hospital mattress, the handset, the wooden head and foot boards, and folding side rails on both sides that are integral to the bed rather than bolted on afterwards. That distinction matters beyond convenience. Integral rails were designed, dimensioned and tested as part of this bed, whereas third party rails added to a frame are the arrangement most often found to create gaps that should not be there.

Side rails and the mattress work as a matched set, and the rules are dimensional rather than a matter of preference. BS EN 60601-2-52:2010 plus A1:2015 is the designated standard for adult medical beds in the United Kingdom and MHRA guidance on bed rails applies the same figures: the top of the rail at least 220 mm above the uncompressed mattress along at least half the platform length, gaps between rail bars and between rail and platform held below 60 mm and 120 mm according to the zone, and the gap from headboard or footboard to the rail end either under 60 mm or over 318 mm so that a neck or a chest cannot be trapped. A deeper mattress, an overlay or an active surface raises the sleeping surface and lowers the effective rail height, which is how a combination that measured correctly on paper ends up out of specification in the bay. That is the reason the mattress is chosen here against the bed rather than bought separately on size: where the alternating air system is selected, the rail height is assessed on the surface fully inflated at its firmest setting, which is the worst case rather than the resting case.

Features

Supplied complete, with a hospital mattress, handset, side rails and bed ends, so the bed is usable on arrival rather than awaiting parts.
Mattress chosen at the point of order, foam for general nursing or an alternating air system where pressure redistribution is called for.
Mattress matched to this bed and these rails rather than bought on size alone.
Electric profiling deck, so the backrest and knee break are adjusted under power rather than by cranking a handle.
Electric height adjustment, bringing the working height to the carer and reducing stooping during daily care.
Integral folding side rails on both sides, designed and dimensioned as part of this bed rather than added to it.
Wooden head and foot boards, which soften the look of the bed in a residential or continuing care setting.
Sectioned mesh deck platform of the pattern Huntleigh supplied into acute and continuing care.
Handset controller function tested on the bed before dispatch.
Manual emergency release fitted to the profiling mechanism.
Four castors, for moving the bed between bays and then holding it still.
Corner bumpers, to protect the bed and the walls it is pushed past.
Steel construction built for repeated decontamination rather than domestic use.
Electrically safety tested and function checked, with every motor, the brake and the handset exercised before dispatch.
More than one available, so a ward, home or unit can be equipped as a set rather than one bed at a time.

Points to note before ordering

Choose the mattress at the point of order. A hospital mattress is included and is supplied either as foam or as an alternating air system. Foam suits general nursing. An alternating system is for patients at raised risk of pressure damage, comes with its own pump, and sits deeper on the platform. Where the air system is chosen, the side rail height is assessed with the surface fully inflated at its firmest setting rather than at rest, because that is the condition in which the rail stands lowest above the patient.
Pre-owned condition. Marks to the frame and paintwork consistent with service use. Decontamination to local policy, electrical safety testing and a full function check of each motor, the castors and the emergency release are carried out before clinical use. Elarix Medical photographs the actual bed on request.
