The Solite Pro Low is a fully electric profiling homecare bed from Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare, for use at home or in long term care, rehabilitation and geriatric settings. The mattress platform raises so a caregiver can work at standing height and drops to a low position to bring the occupant closer to the floor. Backrest and leg section adjust independently or together through auto-contour, with an electric foot-down tilt.

The bed separates into four sections and comes with built-in transport stands, so it can be broken down without tools for moving and storage. Every section weighs less than 55 lb (25 kg). The handset controls all functions and includes an individual function lockout with a key, so any movement unsuitable for the occupant can be disabled. The standard handset omits head-down tilt (Trendelenburg) for safety reasons; a replacement handset with that function is available if clinically required.

Safety Information

• Do not exceed the maximum patient weight or the safe working load. Safe working load is the combined total of occupant, mattress and accessories.
• Do not let anyone sit on the side of the bed. The stated loads are for one occupant only.
• Do not place objects or any part of the body in the path of the lift and scissor mechanisms. Keep bedding, cables and oxygen tubing clear.
• Do not use the bed if any locking collar, hand wheel, clevis pin or R clip is loose, missing or unlocked. Risk of bed collapse.
• Do not extend the bed while side rails are fitted, and do not use a dynamic mattress with the bed extended. A hazardous gap is created.
• Do not use the bed to transport an occupant. The castors are for moving the bed within a room.
• Lock out any function if there is doubt about the occupant's ability to operate the bed safely, and store the key out of reach.
• Carry out a patient risk assessment before use, covering entrapment, falls, small adults and children, and use of accessories.
• Drive recommends leaving the bed in its lowest position when the occupant is unattended.
• Indoor use only. Read the owner's manual before putting the bed into service.
