Model 500 Echocardiography Bed
For Resting Echo Exams & Post Treadmill Imaging Echo Exams

Patient compliance is essential to producing a high quality, diagnostic echo exam. This requires careful instructions to a relaxed, unintimidated, confident patient. In view of this, we designed our echo bed to have a comfortable "furniture" appearance and attempted to avoid the threatening high-tech "ER" look. Incorporated into this design are the features that the buyer defines. The bed is then hand-crafted specifically for that order.   Because we do only minimal advertising and employ no sales force, our prices remain low.

The resting echo bed is designed for conventional resting transthoracic and transesophageal echo exams, dobutamine studies and for post treadmill imaging exercise exams. The standard dimensions are approximately 30" wide, 30" high, 78" long. However, since our beds are custom-made, you have the option of specifying the height to meet your personal preference. 

The mattress is made of 3" medium density foam, providing the patient with a degree of comfort that minimizes fidgeting and repositioning during the exam.  It is upholstered in wear, stain and bacteria resistant vinyl that meets flammability requirements: You may customize the bed with your selection of the vinyl color. The base is finished in an attractive, durable, washable laminate (ivory white).  A paper sheet dispenser is mounted under the headboard to allow convenient and fast clean up. The (removable) headboard eliminates the inconvenience of having the pillow pushed from the bed to the floor.  

 The imaging access (mattress cutout) enables convenient access to apical views when the patient is in left lateral decubitus. This is essential to maximal ultrasound image quality and allows minimal access time for Doppler studies (Shown with optional arm rest).
The (optional) powered adjustable head elevation is controlled by a foot pedal. The 4" casters are heavy duty, swiveling & locking.  These dimensions and casters allow the bed to be moved through standard doorways.
