Westfalia Klassik Care Bed

The SwitchMode voltage transformer produces a protective low voltage of 24 volts directly at the socket.

Burmeier’s 24 volt drive system provides an ideal safety standard for caring for people in care. All live 240 volt components are safely housed away from the bed. Immediately downstream of the mains plug is a housing containing the SwitchMode electronic voltage transformer. This means that residents enjoy a very high level of safety.

LIVING SAFELY AT HOME

Strong Advantages

• Protective low voltage from the transformer at the wall socket
• No 240 volt carrying components on the care bed
• No leakage current measurement after assembling or during the expected service life of the bed
• A test certificate is available for downloading for every bed

The bed has no current-carrying components except when the handset is in use. Energy consumption drops by up to 93%. Even more costs and effort are saved by the fact that leakage current measurements, certified by TÜV Rheinland, are no longer necessary.

When care beds are being commercially used, the required leakage current measurements must be performed every 2 years. The use of the 24 volt system prolongs this interval to such an extent that measurements are not necessary at all within the expected service life of the bed. The applicable service life is given in the operating instructions. Leakage current measurements are not even required when putting the bed into service for the first time, as this has already been taken care of in the factory.

There is also no need for an electrically trained person to be involved in assembling the bed — this saves the bed operator additional costs.

Mattress surface 900mm x 2000mm, 4-part, Mattress surface is easily cleaned metal slats, electrically adjustable. The reclining surface frame has a movable backrest, a firm middle section, a moveable thigh rest and lower leg rest.

Selective locking handset with locking of individual functions and auto–contour function.
Water resistant—IP64.
Flush keys avoid accidental operation.

The self help pole attached to the bed makes it easier for the patient to get into and out of bed. The maximum load of the self help pole is 75kg at the front end. In both corners of the head section of the mattress base are two self help pole sockets.

With this system the maintenance intervals can be extended up to 2 years (see user manual). Residents are protected in the best possible way, as all 240V powered components are outside of the bed. By using the standard 24V drive technology in connection with an electronic switch mode power supply unit electricity costs can be reduced (compared with the conventional drive systems). At the same time the environment is protected.

The Sliding Back Support auto-regression (auto-retracting) backrest that swings up and back when the bed profiles, providing the client with further space for ergonomic positioning. The thigh rest does not regress (retract) down the bed by design as this can lead to the client sliding down the bed, resulting in shear and friction forces. Minimising such forces helps to prevent pressure ulcer formation. In addition, care staff are not required to reposition the client up the bed which can cause back injuries.

Integrated safety sides.
The bed has safety side beams on both sides which can be raised as a barrier or lowered when not needed. This safeguards the patient from accidentally falling out of the bed.

The full-length safety side, fitted as standard, conveys a harmonious look when lowered. Full-length safety sides provide maximum protection. A diagonally raised safety side offers support and orientation to the resident.

Mattress surface height adjustment from approx. 350 to 800mm, adjustment range 450mm.
The Klassik has a low height for residents to easily enter and exit the bed and a high mattress base position of 800mm providing a comfortable working height which is kind to carers' backs.

Central Locking high quality and robust TENTE 100mm castors.
Castors can be locked centrally with the mattress base in any position.
The castors are positioned under the frame.

The optional wall deflection rollers protect the Westfalia Care Beds from damage.

Electric Knee Break with manually adjustable lower leg rest.
When the thigh rest is fixed, the lower leg rest can be individually adjusted. For this reason there are two adjusting ratchets, which will lock the lower leg rest into position.

Safe working load of 200kg.
The maximum long–term load for this bed is 200kg (patient and accessories).
Under this load, the bed can be operated without restriction.
