Stryker has launched globally the industry\u2019s first completely wireless hospital bed, ProCuity. This intelligent bed was designed to help reduce in-hospital patient falls at all acuity levels, improve nurse workflow efficiencies and safety, as well as help lower hospital costs. It is the only bed on the market that can connect seamlessly to nurse call systems without the use of cables or wires.
\n\u201cPatient safety is at the foundation of everything we do at Stryker,\u201d said Jessica Mathieson, VP\/GM of Acute Care, Stryker. \u201cLeveraging our long history in innovation, ProCuity is the culmination of years of extensive research and feedback from nurses and other healthcare professionals to create what is truly a \u2018brilliance in a bed\u2019 solution. It was designed to improve patient outcomes and assist caregivers for years to come.\u201d
\nSet at an industry low height of 11.5 inches (29.2 cm), ProCuity is ergonomically designed with the latest technologies to promote safe patient handling and help reduce fall-related injuries, including intuitive patient positioning and bed alarms as well as ergonomic side rails. Helping to address nurse call cable connectivity issues, ProCuity can be equipped with fully wireless features. Additionally, the bed\u2019s easy-to-use touchscreens and other key components makes the job of caregivers easier and more efficient, while providing for a more enhanced patient experience.
\nSpecific key features of ProCuity include:
Completely Wireless:<\/b>
ProCuity\u2019s Secure Connect wireless solution makes it the only bed on the market that can connect without cables to nurse call systems. Additionally, with iBed Wireless, all bed data, including bed config-uration and exit alarm activity, are wirelessly compatible with facilities\u2019 hospital information systems. To help give caregivers increased visibility to safe bed configuration and bed exit alarm activity, ProCuity can also integrate with Stryker\u2019s optional patient-centric clinical dashboard, iBed Vision.
\nErgonomic Side Rails:<\/b>
Three-position Secure Assist side rails allow for easier patient entry and exit as well as nurse-patient interaction.
\nIntuitive Patient and Bed Monitoring Systems:<\/b>
ProCuity\u2019s exclusive Adaptive Bed Alarm uses load cell technology to sense a patient\u2019s weight and will alert nurses if a patient is out of position or has left the bed. With ProCuity\u2019s iBed Watch system, all operational aspects of the bed, from side rail positioning, head of bed angle and height, are monitored to ensure that it is always in a safe position for the patient. Caregivers are alerted immediately if any components are out of position.
\nZoom Motorized Drive:<\/b>
To help caregivers move patients safely and more efficiently, ProCuity Z and ZM models come complete with Zoom Motorized Drive, a motorcycle throttle-like touch handle that deploys the central fifth wheel. It also comes with one-touch electric brakes.
\nStandard, Customizable Platform:<\/b>
From MedSurg units to the ICU, the ProCuity bed series is designed to meet all patient acuity levels. This helps make standardization across hospitals easier, while reducing hospital costs associated with renting specialty beds and the need for bed transfers and extra staff.
\nEnhanced Patient Experience:<\/b>
To provide greater flexibility for taller patients, ProCuity has an integrated bed extender, which allows the bed to stretch an additional 12 inches (30.5 cm) in length. It also comes with a USB port and holder to allow patients to charge and store personal electronic devices like phones.
\nGuarantee Program:<\/b>
Through Stryker\u2019s Financial Guarantee program, the company promises customers will see a 50% reduction in bed-related falls occurring on Stryker beds utilizing iBed Wireless technology (terms and conditions apply).
