Hill Rom Centuris Patient Bed

Centuris™ Bed

An affordable option for quality care

Essential features that meet the highest standards

For healthcare organizations worldwide, it is of vital importance to provide a care environment that is safe, efficient and comfortable.

To meet the increasingly high demands of the modern healthcare facility, hospital beds need to fulfill a variety of essential functions, whilst also offering protection to both patients and their caregivers. Healthcare organizations that invest in reliable equipment can also help to reduce their exposure to costly accidents and avoid potential litigation. Hill-Rom is proud, therefore, to introduce the Centuris Bed, designed specifically to offer optimal value by incorporating essential features, without sacrificing quality. The Centuris bed meets the most recent international regulatory requirement IEC/EN 60601-2-52 concerning the basic safety and essential performance of hospital beds for adults. The Centuris bed therefore satisfies the highest requirements for safety, reliability and usability.

1. Safer bed entry and exit

The stability and ergonomic design of the Centuris bed’s split side rails facilitate safer bed entry and exit. This helps reduce the potential strain on the caregiver as well as the risk of falls to patients.

2. Access patients instantly

The side rails feature a smooth and fast self-lowering mechanism with dampening system that can be set in motion with one hand, using the quick and easy one-step release. The side rails lower without disturbing the patient, ideal for both everyday and emergency situations. Immediate headboard removal allows instant access to a patient’s head for emergency procedures such as intubation.

3. Minimized risk of entrapment

The Centuris bed is designed to reduce the risks associated with patient entrapment and falls by ensuring maximum compatibility between the bed, mattress and side rails, as well as accessories such as IV poles. Patient safety is greatly enhanced and proven through compliance with international safety standards IEC/EN 60601-2-52.

4. Help reduce the risk of falls

The Centuris bed’s split side rails articulate with the bed, providing full lateral protection in all positions. Patients can be easily moved into the most comfortable position without compromising their safety.

5. Easy-to-Grip Side Rails

The side rails are ergonomically designed to protect patients at all times, even when the bed is articulated. Patients can easily grip them for support in order to turn, reposition themselves or egress the bed, safely and with less assistance.

6. Intuitive controls

Clearly illustrated icons provide easy access to all bed controls, enabling safe caregiver working conditions and easy patient positioning. Minimal in-service staff training and patient education is required. Patient-operated controls enhance autonomy for improved mobility and comfort.

7. Improve care protocol compliance

Easy-to-read angle indicators located on the head side rails highlight the exact angle of head of bed elevation in the 30°-45° range, assisting caregivers in implementing nursing protocols. The foot side rail indicators display Trendelenburg and Reverse-Trendelenburg angles.
