The solution, the company says, involves the control unit ACOM along with the control box CO41.
Says Linak: “Combined with a number of linear actuators LA40 and the hand control HB70, they form a cost-effective solution. It embraces the need for smooth movement, full control with memory function allowing easy control of personalized positions, as well as the request for improved safety for both users and hospital staff.”
The OpenBus system enables patients to adjust their own beds, freeing up time for healthcare staff, according to Linak, which has its North American headquarters in Louisville, Ky. Via the hook-mounted ACOM, care staff can also lock functions and prevent accidental moving — all with an intuitive button design.
