Comfort and Safety at the Touch of a Button
Modern patient care is about more than just treatment — it’s about comfort, safety, and convenience.
Thanks to technology, electric hospital beds have transformed how patients rest and recover.
With just a remote control, both patients and caregivers can easily adjust bed positions for ideal comfort and care.
At Meyosis, our hospital beds are equipped with user-friendly remote control systems that combine technology and reliability.
This guide explains everything you need to know — from how a hospital bed remote works, to step-by-step operation and maintenance tips for safe use.
What Is a Hospital Bed Remote Control?
A hospital bed remote control is a wired or wireless device used to adjust the bed’s motorized sections.
It allows users to control:
- The backrest,
- The leg section,
- The overall bed height,
- And, in advanced models, Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg functions.
The main goal is to make position adjustments quick, effortless, and safe for both the patient and caregiver.
Most remote controls are wired, but wireless and touch models are also becoming more common in modern hospital environments.
Main Components of the Remote
Although models vary, Meyosis hospital bed remotes are designed with a clear and practical layout.
| Button / Section | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Head Adjustment | Raises or lowers the backrest | Marked with up/down arrows |
| Leg Adjustment | Moves the knee and foot section | Improves circulation |
| Height Control | Raises or lowers the bed | Helps ergonomic posture for caregivers |
| Trendelenburg | Tilts bed for specific treatments | Found in 3- and 5-motor models |
| Reset / Flat Button | Returns bed to flat position | Used in emergencies |
???? Tip:
Every button is labeled with simple icons or arrows.
Once you’ve used it a few times, operation becomes completely intuitive.
How to Use a Hospital Bed Remote Control (Step-by-Step)
???? Step 1: Check the Remote Connection
Ensure that the remote’s plug is firmly attached to the motor unit.
Meyosis models use clip-lock connectors — if not inserted properly, some buttons may not work.
???? Step 2: Verify Power Connection
Make sure the bed’s power cord is connected and the outlet is working.
For battery-equipped beds, check that the indicator light is on.
???? Step 3: Adjust the Bed Position
- Raise the head section: Press the upward arrow button.
- Lower the legs: Use the down arrow under the leg icon.
- Lift the entire bed: Short press the “Bed Up” button.
- Lower the bed: Press “Bed Down” to return to a low position.
???? Step 4: Use the Trendelenburg Function
Available only in 3-motor and 5-motor beds.
Press the Trendelenburg button to tilt the bed’s head downward; reverse it for the opposite tilt.
???? Step 5: Reset to Default
If any part becomes stuck or unbalanced, press “Flat” or “Reset” to return the bed to its standard horizontal position.
Important Safety Notes
To ensure long-lasting and safe operation:
- Keep the remote away from water or liquids.
– Moisture can damage internal circuits. - Never pull the cable to move the remote.
– Always hold it by the grip area. - Avoid pressing multiple buttons simultaneously.
– This may overload the motor system. - Ensure voltage stability.
– Plug directly into a wall socket instead of an extension cable. - Keep out of reach of children.
– Avoid accidental position changes.
