  • Publication number: 20240033149
    Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a litter frame, a support deck, an actuator, a user interface, a transceiver, and a controller. The controller is adapted to limit the movement of the actuator to a first range of motion in the absence of receiving a motion limit message from an off-board device via the transceiver or from a local user interface on the patient support apparatus. The controller is further adapted to limit the movement of the actuator to a second and different range of motion after receiving and implementing a motion limit message. The off-board device may be a local server positioned in a healthcare facility, a remote server, or another device. In some embodiments, the patient support apparatus includes a memory with stored data defining the multiple ranges of motion and the controller selects one of the ranges of motion in response to the motion limit message.
