DELİBAŞ, Ferhat
Comparison of safety and performance in patient beds according to human anthropometric values in Turkey. Safety and performance in patient beds are of great importance for the safe treatment processes of patients. In addition to the standards and regulations addressed in the safety and performance criteria, areas of use, product design and correct use also come to the fore. Since patient beds are devices that appeal to social use and whose user portfolio is constantly changing, the importance of safety and performance risk is of high importance. In addition, the legal capacity of the individuals using the patient bed, height, weight, old age and physical movement restrictions constitute the basic criteria in terms of safety and performance. It is important to determine the safety and performance criteria correctly. Risks for safety are evaluated in the light of appropriate tests and usage data for performance (Post-Market Clinical Follow-up “PMCF”, Post-Market Surveillance “PMS” and Clinical Data Evaluation “CDE”), allowing the real dimension of achieving high safety and performance to be seen. This article compares the standard of patient beds, the gap distances in their fixed parts, with the anthropometric values of Anatolian people. This evaluation only addresses the head, neck and torso compression risk areas of human limbs.
