==PATIENT SUPPORT APPARATUSES WITH MOTION CUSTOMIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240033149 titled 'PATIENT SUPPORT APPARATUSES WITH MOTION CUSTOMIZATION

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a patient support apparatus that includes a litter frame, a support deck, an actuator, a user interface, a transceiver, and a controller. The controller is designed to limit the movement of the actuator to a first range of motion when it does not receive a motion limit message from an off-board device or a local user interface. However, when the controller receives and implements a motion limit message, it limits the movement of the actuator to a second and different range of motion. The off-board device can be a local server in a healthcare facility, a remote server, or another device. The patient support apparatus also includes a memory with stored data defining the multiple ranges of motion, and the controller selects one of the ranges of motion in response to the motion limit message.

* The patient support apparatus includes a litter frame, support deck, actuator, user interface, transceiver, and controller.
* The controller limits the movement of the actuator to a first range of motion in the absence of a motion limit message.
* The controller limits the movement of the actuator to a second and different range of motion after receiving and implementing a motion limit message.
* The off-board device can be a local server, remote server, or another device.
* The patient support apparatus has a memory with stored data defining the multiple ranges of motion.
* The controller selects one of the ranges of motion based on the motion limit message.

== Potential Applications ==
* Healthcare facilities and hospitals can use this patient support apparatus to provide controlled and limited movement for patients.
* The apparatus can be used in rehabilitation centers to assist patients in their recovery process.
* It can be utilized in home care settings to ensure the safety and comfort of patients.

== Problems Solved ==
* The patient support apparatus solves the problem of uncontrolled or excessive movement of the actuator, which can potentially harm the patient.
* It addresses the need for a flexible range of motion control based on specific requirements or limitations of the patient.

== Benefits ==
* The patient support apparatus provides a customizable range of motion control, allowing healthcare providers to tailor the movement to each patient's needs.
* It enhances patient safety by limiting the actuator's movement within predefined ranges.
* The apparatus improves patient comfort by ensuring controlled and smooth movements during various medical procedures or treatments.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a patient support apparatus includes a litter frame, a support deck, an actuator, a user interface, a transceiver, and a controller. the controller is adapted to limit the movement of the actuator to a first range of motion in the absence of receiving a motion limit message from an off-board device via the transceiver or from a local user interface on the patient support apparatus. the controller is further adapted to limit the movement of the actuator to a second and different range of motion after receiving and implementing a motion limit message. the off-board device may be a local server positioned in a healthcare facility, a remote server, or another device. in some embodiments, the patient support apparatus includes a memory with stored data defining the multiple ranges of motion and the controller selects one of the ranges of motion in response to the motion limit message.
