Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: The request for the device is an addition to the facility s existing fleet of therapeutic support systems, minimizing the amount of training required since the physicians and staffs are already familiar with a very similar device.
Citadel Plus Patient Care System: The Citadel Plus is the only bariatric bed on the market with power drive that offers plug and play actuators and clip out components. This offers quick and simple service for any part on the frame. Most components can be serviced and replaced within minutes by one person. the Citadel Plus is the only frame on the market which is armed with a 360° Anti Entrapment System surrounding the entire lower perimeter of the bed. If anything meets or breaks the beam between the four sensors, located in all four corners, it will prevent the bed from lowering, raise slightly and illuminate AES on the display on the outside of both of the side panels to help ensure the safety of the caregivers, patients, guests and equipment. The Citadel Plus is the only bariatric bed on the market that easily extends from 80 to 88 in length and expands easily from 35 to 41 to 48 to accommodate patient s size up to 1000 lbs. (454 kg). The AtmosAir Plus Mattress Replacement System (MRS) has a patented Self-Adjusting Technology (SAT) valve that regulates the movement of air in 9 individual air cylinders and gives active pressure redistribution. It is the only open pressurized mattress on the market with this technology.
