Bariatric profiling beds require six-monthly LOLER 1998 thorough examination covering all powered functions, castors, and braking mechanisms. CQC Regulation 12 requires that bariatric equipment is specified to individual patient dimensions. The oak finish supports CQC guidance on maintaining a dignified, homelike environment in residential care settings without compromising clinical functionality.
Is the oak finish clinical-grade or decorative?
The oak panels are clinical-grade laminate with water-resistant and impact-resistant properties suitable for care home environments. The material is wipeable with standard clinical detergents and does not require specialist furniture care products. The domestic aesthetic supports CQC guidance on creating homelike environments in residential care while maintaining infection control compliance.
What side rails are compatible with the 120cm bariatric frame?
Standard 90cm Lomond side rails are not compatible with the 120cm bariatric frame. Bariatric-width side rails must be specified to match the wider frame dimensions. Using incompatible side rails creates entrapment gaps between the rail and mattress edge. Confirm side rail compatibility with the manufacturer before installation.
