How going from analogue to digital can improve healthcare

When LINAK released the basic OpenBus™ system based on the control box CO41 and the control panel ACOM for adjustable healthcare applications, it opened the doors to a number of beneficial features in regard to efficiency, safety, and patient comfort. Exchanging the analogue actuator solution on, for example, your adjustable hospital bed with a digital system based on OpenBus™, you will immediately discover several improvements to your bed. The most distinctive being the change from one movement at the time to highly coordinated movement patterns. Instead of moving the backrest to a desired position and then doing the same with the leg support and then perhaps lower the bed height, OpenBus™ allows you to press just one button and have the bed go from a horizontal position to a TV/Chair position. OpenBus™ also enables Hi/Lo movement in parallel drive of two actuators. This ensures a 100% horizontal movement of the healthcare bed. Intuitive control panels to make it easy for everyone The ACOM has one-button-touch with clear and self-explanatory icons on the control panel interface. This makes changing position easy as pie – both for the care staff and for the patient. The lock-out function is distinctly marked with a ‘key’-icon and allows healthcare staff to lock one or more actuators, preventing the patient from accidently causing harmful movements, for example, in case of a broken leg.
