Introduction

The Joerns Camtec Series RC 1000 Bed has been designed primarily for use in hospitals and other institutions to
support patients whose weight exceeds the limit of conventional beds and who may require special positioning. The
frame has a long history as the Camtec model 4475-0 supporting care of some of the most challenging patients
presented within the care continuum. The unique expandable frame design allows the bed to accommodate support
surfaces of up to 54" wide. The bed surface can be adjusted to allow it to pass through a 40" door opening.
The frame is constructed of structural steel. The frames lowest position is approximately 16½" from the floor to the
mattress support platform. The frame in the highest position is approximately 29".
The frame is designed to support a safe working load of 1000 lbs. Side rails at the head end are standard. Optionally,
the bed can be equipped with foot end side rails and side rail pads. The 45 degree angle setting of the side rails
assists in patient ingress and egress.
The trapeze is an available option using a full-frame design purpose built to support bariatric patients for this type of
bed and allow convenient adjustability for repositioning. The bed is equipped with (3) locking swivel casters and (1)
steering swivel caster to allow for easy bed movement and facilitate bed transport.
The bed contains four electric drive modules, one for the head, one for the knee, one Hi/Lo for the head end and one
Hi/Lo for the foot end of the bed. A hand crank is supplied at the head end of the bed that can be used in the event of
a power failure.
