    Abstract: A person support apparatus, such as a bed, cot, stretcher, or the like, includes an exit detection system that has, in some embodiments, multiple user-selectable modes. A first mode issues an alert in response to a static condition being met and the second mode issues an alert in response to a dynamic condition being met. The static condition may be defined by an unchanging boundary that triggers an alert if the occupant's center of gravity crosses the boundary. The dynamic condition may be defined by a changing boundary that triggers an alert if the occupant's center of gravity crosses it. The changing boundary may change based upon the occupant's height, weight, BMI, vital sign, or other characteristic. The changing boundary may also change based upon a position of one or more components of the person support apparatus, such as a siderail or Fowler section.

    Abstract: A person support apparatus, such as a bed, stretcher, cot, recliner, or the like, includes a support surface adapted to support a person, a litter, an accelerometer positioned below the support surface, and a controller that processes signals from the accelerometer to detect the presence or absence of a person on the support surface. In some embodiments, the controller also receives signals from a plurality of force sensors and uses them in combination with the accelerometer outputs to determine if the person has exited the person support apparatus. The controller may also be adapted to use outputs from the accelerometer to detect an impact against the person support apparatus, compare a magnitude of the detected impact with a threshold, and, if the threshold is exceeded, to issue a warning indicating potential damage to one or more of the plurality of force sensors.

    Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a support structure including a base, an intermediate frame, and a patient support deck and a lift mechanism for moving the patient support deck relative to the base. A plurality of load cells are interposed between the lift mechanism and the support structure to measure load about the patient support surface. Each of the plurality of load cell assemblies includes a body, a bushing, and a shaft. The bushing is configured to be received by the body and defines opposing tapered regions and a central region. The shaft is configured to be received by the bushing and defines a reduced diameter region arranged to engage the central region of the bushing to urge the shaft into alignment with bushing and to permit limited pivoting and translational movement between the shaft and the bushing in response to load shifting between the plurality of load cell assemblies.
