The Importance of Electric Hospital Bed Repairs

IDEAL USE FOR A HOSPITAL BED

Hospital beds were made to make a patient who requires either a quick visit or an overnight stay more comfortable during their time there. However, after a period of continuous use, an electric hospital bed might start seeing some functionality issues that could potentially put a patient in danger. With electric hospital beds, there are usually hand or remote controls to help the patient sit or lay down using arrow marked buttons. 

COMMON ISSUES

Here are a few things you can check off for each of these issues to assure that it is an error that needs to be addressed by a professional.

Electric Bed is Not Working

Make sure the bed is plugged in properly

Test the outlet to assure it is in working order

Switch outlets if a different one is available

If you have gone through the list above and still cannot seem to make the bed work, it may need to have a junction box replacement. The junction box is where the electrical current wires are held and protected.
