摘要： This disclosure describes a control unit for a patient support, such as a mattress. One embodiment of the control unit includes a base portion and a display portion pivotably coupled to the base portion. The control unit may also include one or more communication ports for sending or receiving data from one or more remote devices over a network. The control unit may also include a memory port into which memory may be removably inserted. The control unit may also include a visual indicator configured to be activated by a triggering event, such as a patient exiting the mattress. The display unit may include a touchscreen user interface. The display unit may also be configured to display audiovisual material.

摘要： A control apparatus for an air therapy device stored on a bed (50) includes a manifold (200) having a chamber (216) coupled to an air handling unit (1046). The chamber (216) is formed to include an outlet (234), and a normally closed valve (240) configured to seal the outlet (234). The manifold (200) also includes a connector (310) coupled to the air therapy device, and an electrical connector (244) coupled to an electrical communication network of the bed (50). The apparatus also includes a control module (203) having a valve assembly (290) including an inlet (279) and an outlet (280). The control module (203) is configured to be inserted into the manifold so that the inlet (279) of the control module (203) is coupled to the outlet (234) of the manifold (200) and opens the normally closed valve (240) to couple the valve assembly (290) to the air handling unit (1046). The outlet (280) of the control module (203) is configured to enter the connector (310) to couple the valve assembly (290) to the air therapy device on the bed (50). An electrical connector (281) of the control module (203) is configured to mate with the electrical connector (244) in the manifold (200) to couple a controller (1586) of the control module (203) to the electrical communication network of the bed (50).

摘要： A valve assembly (28, 30) for an air mattress (10) having a common actuator (226) on a manifold (200) between opposed supply and exhaust valves (238, 240) moving the valves (238, 240) along actuating axes. The system includes a plurality of actuator/valve combinations for different portions of the air mattress (10). A pulsating valve (56) is provided which includes a housing (330) having therein supply and exhaust valves (352, 354) each directly controlled by supply and exhaust solenoids.
