Powered Patient Beds

Powered patient beds improve comfort, monitoring and maneuverability for patients and health care professionals. They can support several functions, including:

• Vital signs monitor
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Infusion pumps - provide controlled delivery of fluids such as blood, medication and nutrients to a patient via the circulatory system. Healthcare staff can program them to deliver a substance in specific timing intervals and/or volumes, eliminating the chance for human error.
• Bed tilt/bed wheels control
• Communications

NXP^® microcontrollers, microprocessors, analog components and sensors offer developers flexibility when designing patient beds.
