Abstract
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.
