3 function electric hospital bed
Requirements, factory inquiries and quote comparison on one written basis.
Who owns each step when you source a 3 function electric hospital bed
Buyers often open this page after a 5-function ICU quote included Trendelenburg they did not need. The remaining work is to keep backrest, height and knee sections on one sheet, with platform width and safe working load written as units. We coordinate the paper. You approve the specification, the supplier and destination filings.
| Task | Our role | Your role |
|---|---|---|
| Specification | Restate the three electric sections, missing units and accessory gaps | Approve the final spec before factories are locked |
| Supplier selection | Shortlist factories that quote the written duty | Choose the supplier and commercial terms |
| Quality checks | Coordinate the inspections you listed | Accept or reject the shipment decision |
| Compliance | Collect files the factory states for that catalog number | Confirm destination and clinical protocol requirements |
Limits of this desk
We do not assemble beds on a ward, do not sign IEC 60601-2-52 as a notified body, and do not decide whether a 3-function map is clinically sufficient. Those decisions stay with the buyer quality desk. We also do not treat a 510(k) number copied from a brochure as proof for a different catalog number.
If the brief still mixes a full electric motor map with a semi electric head-and-height only request, we stop and ask which sections are in scope. Function count and safe working load answer different purchase questions; one cannot replace the other. Read the scope article before sending a mixed request.
A typical first pass restates three buyer decisions that factories cannot guess. First, whether Trendelenburg is excluded because the room protocol never uses it. Second, whether the purchase is new-only or may include documented refurbished capital. Third, which documents must travel with the catalog number: datasheet, electrical rating, and any listing the factory actually claims. Those decisions stay yours.
We then send the same written line to more than one factory and return the replies on that line. We do not convert a 5-function quote into a 3-function quote by changing adjectives. Autoclave class B, kVp, tidal volume and A0 value belong on other device families and are out of scope here.
Lead time, MOQ and packing remain supplier statements. If two offers use different side-rail or mattress-platform lists, we mark the difference instead of averaging a unit price. You still choose payment terms and destination filings. Installation, energisation and protocol validation are outside this desk.
