Abstract
The present invention provides a control apparatus that can be ergonomically and movably connected to a patient support apparatus. The control apparatus comprises a control module which is operatively coupled to the patient support apparatus and can provide a means for controlling the plurality of patient support apparatus functions. The control module is adapted for connection to a housing and the housing is movably connected to the patient support apparatus by a coupling device. The coupling device enables the relative movement of the housing and as such the control module relative to the patient support apparatus. In this manner access to the control module, and therefore to the functionality of the patient support apparatus, can be provided independent of the configuration of the patient support apparatus.
Claims (22)
1. A control apparatus for use with a patient support apparatus, said control apparatus comprising:
a) a housing;
b) a control module adapted for connection to the housing, said control module operatively coupled to the patient support apparatus and configured for controlling one or more functions associated with the patient support apparatus; and c) a coupling device movably connecting the housing to the patient support apparatus, said coupling device providing movement of the housing in one or more dimensions relative to the patient support apparatus;
wherein the control apparatus can be positioned in order that a user interface associated therewith is accessible to an operator independent of configuration of the patient support apparatus.
a) a housing;
b) a control module adapted for connection to the housing, said control module operatively coupled to the patient support apparatus and configured for controlling one or more functions associated with the patient support apparatus; and c) a coupling device movably connecting the housing to the patient support apparatus, said coupling device providing movement of the housing in one or more dimensions relative to the patient support apparatus;
wherein the control apparatus can be positioned in order that a user interface associated therewith is accessible to an operator independent of configuration of the patient support apparatus.
2. The control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the control apparatus is operatively connected to a foot panel, a head panel or a siderail of the patient support apparatus or a combination thereof.
3. The control apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the coupling device is selected from the group comprising a ball and socket type connection, rotational joint connection, multiple rotational joint connection, slot and pin connection, multiple interconnected slot and pin connection and a key and keyway connection.
4. The control apparatus according to any one of claims 1, 2 or 3, wherein the coupling device comprises a damping mechanism configured to limit speed of the movement of the housing.
5. The control apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the damping mechanism is configured as a mechanical mechanism, electrical system, hydraulic system or a magnetic system.
6. The control apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the coupling device is configured to provide electrical connectivity between the control module and the patient support apparatus.

14. The control apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the coupling device is configured to rotate about 2, 3 or 4 axes.
15. The control apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the coupling device comprises three rotational joints, wherein each rotational joint includes two mating components.
16. The control apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the two mating components are configured to provide electrical connectivity therebetween.
17. The control apparatus according to claim 16, wherein a first of the two mating components comprises two or more electrically conductive pins and a second of the two mating components comprises two or more electrically conductive grooves, each electrically conductive groove configured to electrically and matingly connect with a particular electrically conductive pin.
18. The control apparatus according to claim 17, wherein the first of the two mating components comprises six electrically conductive pins and the second of the two mating components comprises six electrically conductive grooves.
19. The control apparatus according to any one of claims 1, 2 or 3, wherein the control module comprises a proximity sensor configured to detect an authorized user's presence.
20. The control apparatus according to any one of claims 1, 2 or 3, wherein the control module comprises a biometric recognition system configured to authorize access to the control module upon verification.
21. The control apparatus according to any one of claims 1, 2 or 3, wherein the control module is operatively coupled to the patient support apparatus by a serial communication network, wherien the serial communication network is selected from the group comprising controller area network, Echelon network and peer-to-peer network.
22. The control apparatus according to any one of claims 1, 2 or 3, wherein the user interface is a touch screen interface.
