Official product description
S3 Med/Surg Bed Secure II and the 3002 S3 are the beds typically found in the Med-Surg units of the hospitals. The bed is designed for a 15 year expected service life under normal use conditions, and with appropriate periodic maintenance as described in the maintenance manual for each device. There are minimal differences between the functionality of the two models, each of which function as a highly complex system of a large number of individual components.
