Patient care system

Citadel Patient Care System1, built upon a universal platform and designed to transition from a non-integrated to an integrated system, provides flexible patient care for hospitals that demand safety, security and efficiency from their bed frames and therapeutic mattresses in Critical Care, Step-Down and Med-Surg units.

One system. Multiple acuities.

The bed frame is the centre of patient care during their stay in the hospital. It is an essential tool which may help promote rehabilitation while helping to reduce patient or caregiver injuries. Both the bed frame and mattress need to work in harmony throughout a hospital and across acuity levels to provide safe, efficient and cost effective support for
the patients and clinicians using them.

Citadel has been designed and built for this purpose.

ICU Mobility Solutions

Advanced support surface features and versatile bed frame articulation provide a flexible environment to help support in bed rehabilitation and sitting on the edge of bed if the patient is able.

Choice of support surfaces

Powered therapeutic mattresses offer adaptive care for high risk patient profiles.

Citadel patient care system offers core bed frame

features found in med-surg, step-down and critical care units

With the confidence that the bed frame may help support core patient needs, the clinician is given the freedom to choose the best patient therapy system for their patient.

Open architecture design to suit any mattress*

The open architecture of Citadel Bed Frame allows the use of Arjo mattresses, along with existing mattresses that your hospital may already own*.

Safety features included. Always.

Arjo believes that every patient and caregiver should be provided with the benefit of key safety features. By including them in all of the patient care systems that your hospital utilizes, this ensures that the safety feature is always there whenever the patient needs it.

Low height integration favours safety and mobilisation

Integrated therapy systems are not typical on bed frame systems that achieve a low height position. Citadel Bed Frame System breaks away from the norm. This gives clinicians and patients a major advantage as they begin mobilisation activities.

Safety that only integration can provide

Integration provides communication between the bed frame system and patient therapy system which delivers:

• One button CPR which delivers the CPR mode simultaneously to the mattress and the frame
• Automatic pressure compensation in the seat section when the head of bed is adjusted
• Restricts turning when the head of bed exceeds 30 degrees
• Restricts turning when one or more of the side rails is lowered

Additionally, the paired therapy system and bed frame offer bespoke mattress and frame design to address entrapment concerns that result from using a frame and a mattress from two different suppliers

Every frame system from Arjo offers a common set of safety benefits

integrated into the bed frame:

• Notification of patient movement via the VariZone Patient Movement Detection system
• The floor along the sides of the bed is illuminated by the underbed night light
• May help prevent objects or limbs being trapped underneath the bed frame as a result of the Anti-Entrapment System Citadel is also offered with an optional SafeSet® visual alerts

Standardising efficiency

Citadel Patient Care System is part of the Arjo bed portfolio and is founded on a core design, built on a universal platform.
Regardless of the bed frame chosen for your hospital, you have the assurance that each system is based on a consistent design, which helps you provide optimal patient care.
