Abstract: A patient support includes a frame and a mattress supported by the frame. The frame includes a deck support and a deck supporting the mattress.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to patient support systems, such as hospital beds, and particularly to reconfigurable patient support systems movable among a number of different positions. The present disclosure further relates to control algorithms and interfaces for use in patient support systems.

Abstract: A patient support includes a frame and a mattress supported by the frame. The frame includes a deck support and a deck supporting the mattress.

Abstract: A user module for a patient support is provided. The user module is coupled to a patient support barrier, such as a siderail or a footboard.

Abstract: A person support apparatus with an extendable mattress, a night light message display system, a screen key pendant, egress handle siderails, and various other features. The extendable mattress includes hinged extensions along the sides of the extendable mattress that are moved from a nested position to the extension position. The screen key pendant includes a plurality of screen keys that can be pressed to cycle through various control modes for the person support apparatus. The night light message display system can be configured to display a message or image on the floor communicating information to the person and/or alerting the person as to when they are able to exit the bed.

Abstract: A siderail assembly includes a guide, a support frame coupled to the frame and movable between first and second positions, and a barrier coupled to the support frame and movable therewith. The siderail assembly further includes a handle coupled to the barrier to move between a first position and a second position relative to the barrier. The siderail assembly may include electronic controls to change the position or limit movement of various portions of a patient support apparatus on which the siderail assembly may be coupled.

Abstract: A point-of-care computer system is provided, including a display positioned in a point-of-care location. The point-of-care computer includes hardware coupled to a frame of a hospital bed.

Abstract: A pendant assembly includes a pendant and a tether. The pendant and tether are configured so that the tether can be removed from the pendant when the pendant is secured to a person-support apparatus, and so that the tether remains attached to the pendant when the pendant is removed from the person-support apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises an architectural system and a patient adjustment device. The patient adjustment device is coupled to the architectural system and adapted to pull on a patient receiver to move a patient received by the patient receiver and located on a bed relative to the bed to adjust the position of the patient.

Abstract: An occupant support (20) comprises a frame (34), a mattress region (58), and a combination perimeter element/boom (80) which comprises a coupling (82) connected or connectable to the frame and to a working element (162). The coupling renders the working element positionable in a perimeter element position where the working element borders the mattress region and functions as a perimeter element and a boom position in which the working element is higher than the mattress and functions as a boom. A combination perimeter element/boom (80) comprises a frame (74), a coupling (82) connected or connectable to the frame and to a working element (162) having length, height and width axes. The coupling renders the working element positionable in a perimeter element position where the length and height axes lie in a vertical plane and in a boom position in which the length and height axes lie in a horizontal plane.

Abstract: A point-of-care computer system is provided, including a display positioned in a point-of-care location. The point-of-care computer includes hardware coupled to a frame of a hospital bed.

Abstract: A hospital bed includes a frame having at least one movable frame portion and circuitry coupled to the frame. The hospital bed also has a touch screen coupled to the frame and coupled to the circuitry. The touch screen is operable to display a plurality of screens for controlling bed functions, including displaying a frame control screen having at least one icon which is touched by a user to command the circuitry to actuate movement of the movable frame portion of the frame.

Abstract: A pendant assembly includes a pendant and a tether. The pendant and tether are configured so that the tether can be removed from the pendant when the pendant is secured to a person-support apparatus, and so that the tether remains attached to the pendant when the pendant is removed from the person-support apparatus.
