Citadel Plus

The bed is the centre of care during a hospital stay, providing a platform for patient recovery while helping reduce the risk of patient and caregiver injury. Citadel Plus is purpose-built for hospitals demanding the highest levels of safety and efficiency from their beds and therapeutic surfaces. Customised surface for prevention and treatment of pressure injury.

Citadel Plus incorporates 3 width expansion options. Variable width and length provides flexibility to accomodate different size patients and enables easier access through doorways and in elevators during transport. Width adjustment is always available even during power outages.

VariZone Patient Movement and Exit Detection
This state-of-the-art technology can help alert caregivers to unplanned patient egress from the bed. With a choice of ten settings, alert sensitivity can be altered to suit patient and caregiver requirements.

AES (Anti-Entrapment System)
AES detects obstructions under the sleep deck during bed articulation and stops the downward movement of the bed to help prevent injury to a person or damage to other equipment.

SafeSet
Provides visual alerts on 4 bed safety conditions to help staff provide a safe environment especially for those patients identified at risk from falls:

• side rail position
• brake status
• bed height
• if VariZone is armed

Integrated weigh scale
Easy to use weigh scale weighs up to 454 kg (+/- 500 g). The Auto-Compensation feature allows objects to be added or removed without impacting the patient’s weight reading. Patient weight is visually displayed for 10 seconds only to help protect patient dignity.

Head of bed angle
Digital head of bed angle display provides clear information to assist caregivers in appropriate patient positioning. Automatic pause at 30 degree head elevation helps remind caregivers when this important angle has been reached.

One Button Chair Position
The Citadel Plus can be articulated into a chair position lowering the legs and abdomen to help improve patient comfort.

Pressure redistribution
AtmosAir™ Plus designed specifically for Citadel Plus helps provide skin protection for patients of size. The pressure redistribution surface uses Self Adjusting Technology™ (SAT™) to automatically adjust cell pressures in response to patient movement.

Microclimate management
Skin IQ® 1000 Microclimate Manager (MCM) provides a simple, effective solution for managing the skin microclimate of plus size patients weighing up to 454 kg (1000 lbs).

Standardising efficiency
Consistency in use of technology, many functionalities and accessories across the Enterprise® and Citadel product lines, provide opportunities for economies of scale which could have a positive impact on organisational costs.

Ease of maintenance
Standardised architecture ensures ease of maintenance for service personnel by providing consistent methods to perform common service tasks.

Reduced training time
Standardisation of many of the controls and user interfaces across the Citadel and Enterprise lines can help reduce the training burden for busy caregivers and hospital service personnel.
