ACC

The ACC (Attendant Control Compact) is a cost optimised and compact box with up to 11 buttons that can be used as hand control keys or lock-outs. The lock-out function can be made visible by using LEDs. The ACC is compatible with control boxes that use an OpenBus™ interface, for instance CO61.

The ACC is fitted to advanced hospital and patient care beds for use where patient positioning must be carefully controlled by medical staff. The ACC allows nursing staff to retain direct control over critical positioning functions while giving the patient a limited degree of adjustment. This high degree of selective control is vital in cases such as spinal injuries and other similar conditions where backrest positioning must be carefully supervised.

The ACC is ergonomically designed and easy to install even on the most advanced equipment. The ACC is mounted out of reach of the patient (for example at the end of the bed) and serves to block the hand control functions that may be inappropriate or even dangerous for the patient (for example in connection with a broken leg).
