Compliance with Regulations
PUWER regulations
Regular servicing and inspections of profiling beds are essential for compliance with industry and regulatory standards. Healthcare providers have a responsibility to adequately maintain nursing and profiling beds to adhere to the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). Read more about PUWER ->
EN 60601-2-52
Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of healthcare and hospital / medical beds brought to the market after April 2013, which must comply with this standard. Main sections include: Reliability & strength of the assist rails; Maximum gap measurement to reduce entrapment & strangulation risk : The distances from the headboard – assist rail, footboard – assist rail, between the bars within the assist rails and between the assist rails; Safety against tipping; and Safe working load.
EN 50637:2017
The EN 50637:2017 standard seeks to ensure safety for young patients and adults who, because of their smaller body measurements and anatomies, have higher risks of being entrapped in medical beds and cots. Any existing beds in circulation supplied before 31/8/2020 do not need to meet the regulation – it is only for beds supplied after 31/8/2020.
CQC
Maintaining profiling beds in good working condition is also crucial for compliance with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) Regulation 12: Safe Care and Treatment. Providers must make sure that the premises and any equipment used is safe.
