Pella Regional Health Center recently replaced its hospital inpatient beds with the advanced ProCuity® model by Stryker. 

These state-of-the-art beds are completely wireless and feature a low-height position for fall prevention, providing increased comfort and safety for both patients and caregivers. Each bed is wireless so they connect to the nurse call system and provide a dashboard of all bed data, including bed configuration and exit alarm activity to the nurse’s station. Three-position side rails allow for easier patient entry and exit as well as nurse-patient interaction.

ProCuity’s unique bed alarm uses advanced technology that senses a patient’s weight and will alert nurses if a patient is out of position or has left the bed. With ProCuity’s 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. These features help the patient care team improve workflow while reducing the patients’ risk of falls.

Other features for the inpatient beds include touchscreens, a USB port and phone holder, a bed-extender for taller patients, and an electric braking system with hand-adjusted speed control.
