  • Load Cell Assembly For A Patient Support Apparatus
    Publication number: 20240299225
    Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a support structure including a base, an intermediate frame, and a patient support deck and a lift mechanism for moving the patient support deck relative to the base. A plurality of load cells are interposed between the lift mechanism and the support structure to measure load about the patient support surface. Each of the plurality of load cell assemblies includes a body, a bushing, and a shaft. The bushing is configured to be received by the body and defines opposing tapered regions and a central region. The shaft is configured to be received by the bushing and defines a reduced diameter region arranged to engage the central region of the bushing to urge the shaft into alignment with bushing and to permit limited pivoting and translational movement between the shaft and the bushing in response to load shifting between the plurality of load cell assemblies.

  • DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240142334
    Abstract: A method of diagnosing a pneumatic system that (1) pressurizes the system to a first inflation pressure, (2) ceases the pressurizing for a settling-in time period, (3) measures a settled-in pressure after the settling-in time period, (4) measures a decayed pressure after a decay time period, (5) determines a determined rate of decay of the pressure in the system over the decay time period, and (6) compares the determined rate of decay to a first stored decay rate.
