The Alerta Lomond Standard Bed is a four-section electric profiling bed for hospital wards, care homes and residential care settings where a wider height adjustment range and heavier-duty castor specification are required. The 40-80cm height range and 5-inch braking castors support use across clinical environments with higher-traffic corridor transfer requirements. Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positioning, a 200kg SWL and a 10-function lockable handset provide the full clinical positioning range for acute and sub-acute care needs.

The Lomond Standard Bed meets BS EN 60601-2-52 requirements for medical electrical equipment in medical bed applications. The 40-80cm height adjustment range supports MHOR 1992 manual handling guidance by enabling carers to position the bed at an ergonomically appropriate working height during care tasks. The 10-function lockable handset supports CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) through precise positioning for pressure care, respiratory management and post-operative recovery. Where side rails are fitted, MHRA bed rail safety guidance requires a documented risk assessment covering the seven entrapment zones and, where applicable, a Mental Capacity Act 2005 assessment prior to fitting.
Is the Lomond Standard Bed suitable for home use?
The Lomond Standard Bed is primarily specified for hospital wards and residential care homes. Its 40cm minimum height and 5-inch castors are optimised for clinical environments with higher-traffic transfer corridors. For domestic community care settings where a lower floor profile is required, the Lomond Community Bed (30cm minimum height, 3-inch castors) is the more appropriate specification.
Does the Lomond Standard Bed support taller patients?
The standard mattress platform is 90x200cm. For patients requiring additional length, the Lomond 20cm Extension Kit (sold separately) extends the mattress platform by 20cm. The corresponding Foam Mattress Extension Insert fills the extended section; both are available as separate accessories and are compatible with the full Lomond Standard Bed range.
