WIKA makes highly customizable load-cell systems for manufacturers of high-tech hospital beds, and offers fast turnaround times, too. <\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Healthcare professionals need to know a patient\u2019s weight in order to administer the appropriate amount of medication, fluids, or anesthesia. For health monitoring, it\u2019s also important to know whether they are gaining or losing weight, especially with premature infants. But accurate weighing is not easy when patients cannot use a normal scale, such as when they\u2019re bed-bound, unconscious, or morbidly obese. There is also the issue of dignity, as moving adults with limited mobility can lead to feelings of embarrassment or shame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">For these and other reasons, more and more medical facilities have upgraded to hospital beds with an integrated load-cell system for digital weighing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Load-Cell Systems for Hospital Beds<\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Manufacturers of high-tech hospital beds often have to make do with off-the-shelf components for their weighing systems. What\u2019s more, most load-cell companies do not offer technical advice on how to optimally place the sensors, nor do they deal with user interface \u2013 creating an intuitive display and optimized experience for medical professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">At WIKA USA, our force measurement specialists work closely with every hospital bed manufacturer to determine the most appropriate type of load cell to use. If our catalog doesn\u2019t have quite the sensor you need for a bed system, we will collaborate with your R&amp;D team to design and manufacture a solution. Drawings and models make it easy to envision the final product. We also have the capabilities to customize the functions and features you desire for a bed\u2019s weight display or control panel. No other load-cell manufacturers in the country offer this entire package.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Customized Weight-Sensing Systems for Hospital Beds<\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">To measure and monitor patient weight, a hospital bed incorporates a system of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/load_cells.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">load cells<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN-US\">, a summing box, and a display. Here are ways WIKA USA offers custom-made components and packages:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Load Cells<\/h3>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" \/><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Many different kinds of load cells exist in the market. The ones most commonly used for hospital beds are planar, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/bending_beams_shear_beams.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">bending beam, and shear beam<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN-US\">, and the optimal type depends on how and where the load cell is mounted. Shear beam and bending beam cells are typically installed between each caster wheel and its attachment point beneath the bed. Planar cells are usually mounted between the lower and the upper bedframe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Most systems have four load cells, one for each corner. (In practice, a hospital bed can incorporate as many or as few load cells as desired, depending on its size and the desired functionalities.) The precise location of each cell depends on how the bed is constructed and how it articulates to elevate the head and foot sections. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Summing Box<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The summing box, also called a summing circuit, does what its name implies: gather the output from each load cell to calculate the sum. This component is usually placed in the middle of the bed, with the circuit transmitting the total weight to the display panel. However, as it\u2019s not a force sensing mechanism, the summing box can be located anywhere, including in the display or control panel. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Display Panel<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The weight can be displayed in several places. A dedicated unit can be located at the foot, side, or head of the bed, or the weight information can be integrated into each bed\u2019s control panel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Adding a microprocessor to the display unit greatly improves capabilities beyond just weight measurement. This component can be programmed to process data from each load cell, and then, for example, detect when a patient leaves the bed or gets too close to an edge.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The WIKA Advantage<\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">As part of the global WIKA group, WIKA USA has extensive manufacturing capabilities around the world for OEM production.
