A patient support apparatus includes a sensor capable of detecting vital signs, setting acceptable limits for the vital signs, and includes structures for monitoring the vital signs and providing local and/or remote indications to caregivers if the vital signs fall outside of acceptable limits.

Patient support apparatus having vital signs monitoring and alerting

A system for detecting and monitoring lines in a healthcare setting includes a medical device positioned in a healthcare facility. A line extends from the medical device. At least one imaging device is positioned in the healthcare facility to identify the line. A computer determines whether an unwanted condition of the line has occurred.

Medical line detection and monitoring using video

A patient support apparatus, such as a hospital bed, communicates with an electronic medical record (EMR) system in healthcare facility. The hospital bed includes a patient support structure to support a patient, a graphical user interface coupled to the patient support structure, and control circuitry coupled to the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface displays at least one input that may be used by a caregiver to chart data into an electronic medical record (EMR) of a patient supported by the patient support structure.

Hospital bed having patient association control

Medical beds and methods include a processor, an input interface configured to receive commands, and a display device configured to display an output. The medical bed further includes a memory storing program instructions, the program instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to place the medical bed in a restricted mode based upon satisfying a plurality of criteria. The medical bed outputs an indication of the restricted mode on the display device. The medical bed receives first and second movement commands through the input interface, wherein the movement commands are configured to move the medical bed. The medical bed moves based upon a first movement command permitted by the restricted mode. The medical bed maintains a current state of the medical bed upon receipt of a second movement command blocked by the restricted mode, wherein the second movement command differs from the first movement command.

Person support systems and methods including a proning mode

An overhead arm assembly for a patient support apparatus includes a user interface device. The user interface device has a support structure for supporting a personal digital assistant and a charging port for personal digital assistant.

Patient bed user interface having a dead front portion

A patient support apparatus that is adaptable to multiple modes of transport includes a variable length base and a drive system that includes two independently drivable wheels that are responsive to inputs from a user to steer the patient support apparatus. A barrier assembly is secured to the upper frame by a tab which is received into a receiver formed in a head end of the frame.

Patient support apparatus having detachable barrier assembly

A therapy system includes a patient support apparatus and a pneumatic therapy device that is coupleable to the patient support apparatus. The therapy device may receive power and air flow from the patient support apparatus.

Control system for a patient therapy device

A patient support apparatus may include a patient support surface including a rotation device. A controller may be operable to control the rotation device. The controller may include a processor and a non-transitory memory device. The memory device may include instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to operate the rotation device to perform a rotation preview sequence. During the rotation preview sequence, the controller may cause the rotation device to move the patient support surface to a first evaluation position for a first predetermined period of time.

Preview function for continuous lateral rotation therapy

A person support apparatus includes a support surface having a patient facing surface and includes a head section, a seat section, and a foot section, the head section and the foot section being rotatable with respect to the seat section. One or more actuators are provided to rotate the head section and the foot section with respect to the seat section. At least one strain gauge is provided proximate the patient facing surface of the support surface to detect a change in pressure against at least one of the head section and the foot section. A controller is configured to transmit a signal to one or more of the actuators to rotate a corresponding one of the head section or the foot section in response to receiving data from the at least one strain gauge indicating a change in pressure that exceeds a predetermined reduction in pressure.

Person support apparatus having exercise therapy features

A patient support apparatus, such as a hospital bed, includes an alert light assembly or an alert light module having separate zones that are individually illuminated to convey information regarding respective alert conditions. The zones each have indicia related to a particular condition of the patient support apparatus. The illuminated zones are each sufficiently large so as to be seen from afar, such as on the order of ten feet or more. Alternatively or additionally, a GUI of the patient support apparatus displays alert indicia as part of a screen saver. Further alternatively or additionally, the patient support apparatus illuminates an alert light in a manner indicating an optimal time for taking a patient's vital signs.

Multi-alert lights for hospital bed

A system for contactless monitoring of a person in a chair includes a detector mount positioned adjacent the chair and detached from the chair. A detector is coupled to the detector mount and is configured to detect thermal radiation from a field of view that includes the chair. A controller controls the detector. The controller includes a processor and a nontransitory memory device that includes instructions that are performed by the processor to control the detector.

Three-mode patient chair exit sensing

A patient support apparatus includes a frame having a head end and a foot end. A support arm is operably coupled to the head end of the frame. A cord is coupled to the support arm. A user interface housing is operably coupled to the cord and configured to retain a user interface. The user interface housing includes a locking body coupled to a body of the user interface housing and has a flange configured to engage an edge of the user interface. A latch mechanism includes a flexible body coupled to a rear side of the locking body. The latch mechanism is configured to selectively secure the locking body in a position. A shelf is coupled to a lower portion of the body of the user interface housing. The shelf has stoppers operably coupled to the shelf. The stoppers are adjustable along a horizontal plane to define different widths.

Security latch for user interface housing

Overhead arm assembly for patient bed

The present disclosure relates to patient support systems, such as hospital beds, and particularly to reconfigurable patient support systems movable among a number of different positions. The present disclosure further relates to control algorithms and interfaces for use in patient support systems.

Mattress bladder control using a bleed valve

A patient bed has a siderail that is movable to a raised position elevated over a central region of a mattress of the patient bed for use as part of a patient lift of the patient bed. In a lowered position, the siderail blocks egress of a patient from the mattress. In the raised position of the siderail, a sling arm is coupleable to the siderail and a sling is coupleable to hooks of the sling arm.
