Fall accidents in hospitals and nursing homes are increasing in number and are very cost intensive. The Electronic Brake Control System is designed to decrease these fall accidents.

It also eliminates unnecessary movement and adjustments to the bed and thereby helps ensure high comfort for patients and facilitates movement of the bed for the medical staff. The Electronic Brake Control System consists of:

  • A LINAK hand control
  • A LINAK EBC box
  • A LINAK OpenBus™ system in the application
  • Castors (from a third party supplier. Please consult local LINAK sales representative for more information)
  • Cables

The Electronic Brake Control System makes sure that the bed is always locked when not in motion and therefore helps reduce the number of fall accidents for the benefit of both patients and caregivers. The directional lock function ensures an ergonomically correct working environment for the staff.
