1: General Information

Because all hospital beds currently connect to a wall with a damage-prone 37-pin
connector, and because that damage results in all types of bed and Nurse-Call system
malfunctions, the Rauland-Borg Corporation has developed and is now selling Stryker and
Hill-Rom-compatible versions of a Wireless Bed Interface. The Interface provides Bed
Exit, Nurse Call, Bed Out, and Call Assurance functions without cable connection or
system programming. (The unit does not, however, provide TV/lighting controls or
TV/intercom audio. Those may, however, still be provided by optional Entertainment
Speakers.)

Wireless connectivity is accomplished by using two devices, one that plugs and securely
screws into a bed (“Bed Unit”) and one that plugs and securely screws into the wall (“Wall
Unit”). Each unit is equipped with a single button that serves to connect and/or disconnect
the bed from the wall, and a simple linking procedure allows one to roll a bed into a room
and be set to go in moments.

When you enter a room, you will find a Generic Wall Unit (model 30110) and one of the
two (2) model-specific Bed Units, the 301200 Hill-Rom Bed Unit (with a socket
connector) or the 301210 Stryker Bed Unit (with a plug connector).

Revision History
