The Affinity® III , developed by Hill-Rom, stands as a revolution in the field of birthing beds, offering a comprehensive approach to meet the complex needs of caregivers and mothers during the childbirth process. With over 70 years of expertise in creating cutting-edge care environments, Hill-Rom combines knowledge and innovation to deliver an exceptional product.
This set of solutions, rooted in the long-standing success of the Affinity® Birthing Bed line, embodies the essence of hospital flexibility, increased efficiency, optimal positioning, and outstanding care delivery in a single product. The Affinity® III is not just a birthing bed; it is a complete platform designed to enhance caregiver productivity while ensuring the comfort and safety of mothers.
One of the key features of the Affinity® III is its commitment to user-friendly operation and staff productivity. The OneStep™ features reduce the number of steps required to perform complex tasks, maximizing efficiency and minimizing effort. Thus, the birthing bed serves not only as a birthing location but also as a catalyst for superior maternal care.
Staff safety is a major priority, and the Affinity® III addresses this requirement innovatively. Aware of the risks of back injuries, this birthing bed is designed to be easily maneuverable, being the lightest birthing bed on the market. Features such as the Trend-like mechanism ensure better visibility during delicate repairs, contributing to caregiver safety.
During the disassembly process for use, the intuitive design of the Affinity® Three facilitates and speeds up the transition. OneStep™ features simplify tasks that previously required the intervention of multiple caregivers. The foot section detachment, automatic seat inflation and deflation control, and rapid air release for patient comfort make this set a practical and efficient choice.
The exceptional mobility of the Affinity® III makes it one of the most easily transportable birthing beds in the industry. During the mother's transfer, caregivers can provide continuous and confident care, relying on features that enhance mobility. The exclusive backup battery ensures control of the bed even when unplugged, facilitating positioning and control during emergency transport.
Patient safety is of utmost importance, and the Affinity® III incorporates features to ensure this safety, both for patients and their caregivers. The integrated night light, with a photo sensor, ensures automatic illumination, providing a focal point in the floor and foot exit area. The OneStep™ Siderail Release mechanism eliminates transfer gaps for safer and easier patient transfers.
The Comfortline® mattress, designed to offer a soft and comfortable surface with superior support, reduces the discomfort typically associated with birthing bed mattresses. The exclusive Dartex® cover, antimicrobial and latex-free, ensures increased durability. The set also features an internal fire-retardant barrier, ensuring the safety of mothers and their babies.
Air support options, with bladders adjustable by the mother or caregiver, offer personalized comfort. Silent drives reduce noise, improving patient satisfaction. The design reduces the number of parts prone to wear and tear, simplifying maintenance, with easy access to electronics and drives. Fewer exposed mechanical parts prevent damage, reduce preventive maintenance requirements, and allow for easy upgrades as needs change.
Backlit Point-of-Care® controls offer visibility in the dark, while the optional SideCom® Communication System integrates nurse call, universal television, radio, and lighting controls. The bed is also compatible with various accessories to meet specific needs.
In terms of performance specifications, the Affinity® III offers a length of 90 inches, adjustable width with side rails up or down, variable height with the mattress, and a maximum lift capacity of 500 pounds. The 6-inch wheels ensure maximum mobility, while features such as the central brake and detachable electrical cord contribute to safety.
The Affinity® III is more than just a birthing bed. It is a comprehensive solution that combines innovation, safety, and comfort for caregivers and mothers. Hill-Rom, as a global leader in care environments, continues to push boundaries with products like the Affinity® III , redefining standards in maternal care.
