6.4 Product Variants
Hospital beds in the Deka range can be manufactured in various sizes and variants. Depending on
the customer’s requirements, a hospital bed measuring
90x200 cm, 80x200 cm and 80x180 cm (Deka junior)
can be ordered in the following different variants:
x Fully mechanical (manual adjustment of backrest, thigh rest and lower leg rest, mattress base
height and manual tilting of the head and foot end of the bed)
x Semi-mechanical - semi-electric (for example, electric backrest adjustment and manual mat-
tress base adjustment)
x All-electric (all adjustable areas of the bed, except tilting the bed, can be carried out electrical-
ly).
6.5 Components of the Bed
6.5.1 Mattress Base in Four Sections
The mattress base is divided into a backrest, a seat section, a thigh rest and a lower leg rest. De-
pending on the bed variant (electric or mechanical), the mattress base height can be adjusted hor-
izontally, and can be tilted into a Trendelenburg or reverse-Trendelenburg position. The backrest
and thigh rest can be adjusted separately either electrically or mechanically, depending on the bed
variant. In electric beds, the components for the electric actuator system are accommodated under
the mattress base.
6.5.2 Two-Section Mattress Base
The mattress base is divided into a backrest and a seat section. The mattress base height can op-
tionally be adjusted horizontally, and can be tilted into a Trendelenburg or reverse-Trendelenburg
position. The backrest and thigh rest can be adjusted separately either electrically or mechanically,
depending on the bed features available. The components for the electric actuator system are ac-
commodated under the mattress base.
6.5.3 Bed Extensions (Optional)
Bed variants in the Deka range can optionally be fitted with a bed extension at the foot end. This
enables the bed to be manually extended by either approximately 10 or 20 cm.
6.5.4 Chassis
The chassis is located under the mattress base. Depending upon the model of bed (elec-
tric/mechanical), the chassis contains the actuators or a hydraulic foot pump for raising and lower-
ing the mattress base. The chassis has four castors that can be centrally locked, or locked per ax-
le, using a foot pedal. One of the castors is equipped with a steering lock which enables the bed to
be moved in a straight line. The chassis can be fitted with an optional fifth castor which takes over
the function of the steering lock.
