Grace Medy FKEM-SDSS-2

NHS maternity units and consultant-led delivery suites are the primary procurement environment for the Grace Medy FKEM-SDSS-2 electric delivery bed. The electric backboard and table tilt functions enable midwifery and obstetric teams to reposition patients during labour and delivery without the physical effort required by mechanical pump tables, reducing cumulative staff fatigue over long shift rotations. The ≥180° detachable legboards provide the full lithotomy range required for standard vaginal delivery, episiotomy, and instrumental obstetric procedures. Medigear.uk can supply the FKEM-SDSS-2 with full CE conformity documentation to support NHS trust supplier qualification.

Private maternity and independent obstetric facilities benefit from the FKEM-SDSS-2's auxiliary table, which provides a dedicated instrument surface for sterile field preparation adjacent to the patient without a separately positioned trolley. The electric ±20° tilt covers Trendelenburg positioning for maternal hypotension management and reverse Trendelenburg positioning for upper-body support during the third stage and immediate postpartum examination. The pink upholstered finish suits private maternity suite environments where patient-centred aesthetics are a commissioning priority. Medigear.uk can advise on available colour configurations for OEM-branded procurement.

Obstetric theatres and combined delivery suite and theatre environments require smooth, controlled table adjustment that does not disturb patient positioning or sterile field integrity during active procedures, and the pulling-type mechanism of the FKEM-SDSS-2 meets this requirement without the vibration or jolt associated with mechanical ratchet alternatives. The CE-certified specification and electric actuation align with the capital equipment standards used by theatre managers when reviewing obstetric procedure room furniture. Distributors supplying obstetric equipment to hospital networks can access container-load pricing and OEM customisation options through the Medigear.uk procurement team.

Electric Backboard: Eliminating Manual Support Effort During Labour Positioning

The electrically actuated backboard on the FKEM-SDSS-2 adjusts from flat to 60° and back without any manual support effort from the clinical team, removing a repetitive physical demand from midwives managing active labour over extended periods. In delivery suites where a single midwife may manage multiple position changes during a prolonged labour, the ability to adjust the backboard with a single control action directly reduces the risk of musculoskeletal injury among staff. The 60° upper limit accommodates every clinically relevant backrest position from supported semi-sitting through to emergency flat recline, providing a single control range that covers the entire delivery positioning arc. Medigear.uk can confirm the electric control interface and actuation speed upon request.

Electric ±20° Full-Table Tilt for Emergency and Routine Obstetric Positioning

The full-table electric tilt through ±20° provides Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positioning without any manual patient lifting, which is clinically significant in obstetric emergencies, including maternal hypotension, cord prolapse, and shoulder dystocia management, where rapid position changes can directly affect maternal and neonatal outcomes. Electric actuation is faster and more reproducible than mechanical alternatives, and the ±20° range covers every clinically indicated angle used in standard obstetrical postpartum management protocols. For NHS maternity unit procurement teams specifying capital equipment for consultant-led delivery suites, electric tilt is increasingly a standard specification requirement rather than an optional feature.

Detachable ≥180° Legboards Covering Full Lithotomy to Rapid-Release Access.

The manually operated legboards abduct to a minimum of 180°, achieving full bilateral lithotomy positioning for vaginal delivery, perineal repair, and instrumental obstetric procedure. At the same time,e the individually detachable design allows rapid removal of leg support during post-delivery examination or in emergencies without tools or a second clinician. This two-in-one capability — full lithotomy and rapid detach — is a key operational advantage in busy delivery suites where the time between delivery positioning and post-delivery examination must be minimised. Manual operation of the legboards provides tactile feedback and fine angular control that electric actuation cannot replicate, making manual legboard control the standard approach for this clinical component on obstetric tables. Medigear.uk can confirm legboard holder dimensions and attachment mechanism.

Pulling-Type Mechanism for Smooth, Vibration-Free Table Adjustment

The pulling-type adjustment mechanism of the FKEM-SDSS-2 draws table sections into position using an integrated tensioning system, producing smooth movement without the vibration, click, or mechanical noise associated with ratchet or jack-type mechanisms on older obstetric tables. Patient comfort during table adjustment is clinically relevant in active labour, where sudden movement or noise can interrupt pain management focus, disturb monitoring electrode placement, and increase maternal anxiety. The smooth pulling mechanism also protects the sterile field's integrity during active delivery procedures by reducing the risk of instrument displacement from table vibration. This mechanical characteristic is the defining engineering feature of the FKEM-SDSS-2 and is reflected in its model name.

Integrated 580 × 540 mm Auxiliary Table Streamlining Delivery Suite Workflow

The auxiliary table, included as a standard component of the FKEM-SDSS-2, provides a dedicated secondary work surface for sterile draping, instrument placement, and delivery equipment organisation adjacent to the patient, without requiring a separately sourced and positioned instrument trolley. Eliminating the trolley from the delivery bay reduces the number of mobile items in the clinical space, simplifies room layout during active delivery, and removes the risk of trolley collision during emergency repositioning of the bed or clinical team. The auxiliary table is procured as part of the bed unit through Medigear.uk, removing a procurement line from the maternity unit capital equipment budget.

CE Certified Compliance for NHS and Regulated Maternity Capital Procurement

The FKEM-SDSS-2 is iCE-certified in accordance with the applicable Medical Device Directive, providing the documentary baseline required for the procurement of, and operating and deliverability in, NHS trusts and CQC-regulated private maternity facilities. The full conformity documentation package is available through Medigear.uk. It can be supplied alongside technical data, electrical specifications, and accessory compatibility information to support multi-document supplier qualification processes at the trust and integrated care board level. For distributors managing NHS contracts across multiple maternity sites, CE certification provides a consistent compliance foundation without requiring additional third-party assessment at each deployment location.

Pink Upholstery Supporting Patient-Centred Maternity Suite Design

The standard pink upholstery of the FKEM-SDSS-2 provides a warm aesthetic appropriate to maternity suite environments where the physical setting is designed to reduce maternal anxiety and support a positive birth experience. Pink is increasingly specified in NHS delivery suite refurbishments and is the dominant colour preference in private maternity facility fit-outs where patient-centred design is a core commissioning criterion. The upholstery choice differentiates the FKEM-SDSS-2 from the clinical neutrality of standard hospital-grey delivery tables and supports the marketing positioning of distributors supplying branded private maternity furniture packages. Alternative upholstery colours are available for OEM orders through Medigear.uk.

OEM Customisation and Container-Load Supply for Obstetric Equipment Distributors

Grace Medy supports full OEM customisation of the FKEM-SDSS-2 for distributors and institutional buyers, including alternative upholstery colours, branded frame components, and specification modifications for specific regulatory markets beyond CE. Container-load pricing, minimum order quantities, and lead times for customised configurations are negotiated through Medigear.uk, which manages the full supplier relationship for all trade buyers. Distributors building branded obstetric furniture ranges for hospital networks can use the FKEM-SDSS-2 as a core delivery table specification, with OEM customisation delivering the product identity their NHS trust and private hospital clients require for capital procurement rounds.

Self-Contained Clinical Unit Reducing Commissioning Time on Delivery

The FKEM-SDSS-2 is delivered fully assembled, with the auxiliary table, legboard system, and electric actuation components integrated, requiring no on-site specialist assembly before clinical commissioning. A qualified biomedical engineer or electrician should complete the mains electrical connection and initial function testing as part of the facility's device commissioning protocol, and Medigear.uk can supply a commissioning checklist and user guide at the time of order to support this process. The self-contained delivery configuration reduces the time between unit arrival and first clinical use, which is a meaningful operational advantage for maternity unit managers working to tight new-facility opening or ward-refurbishment timelines.

Backboard: Electric, Fold Up ≤60°, Fold Down ≥0°

The backboard is electrically actuated through the full range from flat (≥0°) to a maximum elevation of 60°. This range covers every clinical backrest position used in obstetric care, from emergency flat recline through supported semi-sitting for active labour management. Electric control provides smooth, repeatable adjustment without staff physical effort at any point in the range.

Forward and Backwards Tilt: Electric, ±20°

The full table tilts electrically through ±20° in both the forward Trendelenburg and backward reverse Trendelenburg directions. The ±20° range covers all clinically indicated tilt angles in standard obstetric and postpartum management, and electric actuation provides rapid, precise positioning without manual patient repositioning by the clinical team.

Legboard Abduction Range: Manual, ≥180°

The legboards are abducted manually to a minimum of 180°, achieving full bilateral lithotomy positioning for vaginal delivery, episiotomy, perineal suturing, and instrumental procedures. Manual operation provides fine tactile control during active positioning of the delivery. The ≥180° minimum confirms full lithotomy capability as a standard functional specification rather than an approximate range.

Legboard Design: Individually Detachable

Each legboard is individually detachable without tools, allowing asymmetric or full removal during post-delivery examination, emergency access, or transition between delivery and postpartum care positioning. Detachability is independent on each side, giving the clinical team the flexibility to remove one or both supports at any point in the delivery workflow, depending on clinical requirements.

Main Table Surface: 1200 × 600 mm

The primary patient surface measures 1200 mm in length and 600 mm in width, providing a well-proportioned obstetric platform for adult maternal positioning across delivery and postpartum care. The 600 mm width supports lateral stability during tilt positioning and provides adequate surface area for maternal repositioning without patient overhang. Overall assembled dimensions should be confirmed with Medigear.uk.

Auxiliary Table: 580 × 540 mm (Standard-Included)

The 580 × 540 mm auxiliary table provides approximately 0.31 m² of secondary clinical work surface adjacent to the patient for sterile instrument preparation and delivery equipment management. It is a standard-included component of the FKEM-SDSS-2, not a separately procured accessory, which simplifies the procurement bill of materials for maternity unit capital equipment budgets.

Adjustment Mechanism: Pulling-Type

The pulling-type mechanism draws table sections into position via an integrated tensioning system, producing smooth, vibration-free movement throughout the adjustment range. This is the defining engineering characteristic of the FKEM-SDSS-2 model and differentiates it from ratchet-, jack-, and pivot-type delivery table mechanisms in terms of patient comfort and sterile-field protection during adjustment.

Standard Upholstery Colour: Pink

Pink upholstery is supplied as standard, providing a patient-centred aesthetic appropriate to maternity and delivery suite environments. The pink finish is consistent across the backboard, main table, and legboard surfaces, creating a visually cohesive clinical presentation. Alternative upholstery colours are available for OEM and bulk orders through Medigear.uk.

CE Certification: Medical Device Directive

The FKEM-SDSS-2 is CE certified in accordance with the applicable Medical Device Directive, confirming compliance with the safety and performance standards for obstetric clinical tables. Full conformity documentation, including the declaration of conformity and technical data sheets, is available from Medigear.uk and supports supplier qualification within NHS trusts and regulated private healthcare procurement frameworks.

Electrically Actuated Functions: Backboard and Full-Table Tilt

Both the backboard elevation and the full-table tilt are electrically controlled, providing smooth, repeatable, and staff-effort-free adjustment across both functional axes of the FKEM-SDSS-2. The combination of an electric backboard and an electric tilt on a single delivery table reduces the number of manual adjustment steps required during active labour and delivery management, supporting midwifery team efficiency throughout the delivery process.

Electrical Power Requirement

The FKEM-SDSS-2 requires a mains electrical supply for the backboard and tilt functions. Input voltage, motor rating, power consumption, and emergency battery backup provision should be confirmed with the Medigear.uk procurement team before finalising delivery suite electrical installation planning. IEC 60601 medical electrical safety equivalence documentation should also be requested as part of the pre-purchase technical review for NHS trust capital equipment approval.

Integrated IV Pole Mount and Overhead Accessory Support

An IV pole mount and overhead accessory support structure are visible in the standard product configuration, providing the attachment points required for intravenous fluid management and overhead lighting or instrument positioning during delivery. Specific load ratings, accessory compatibility, and attachment interface specifications should be confirmed with the Medigear.uk procurement team to ensure compatibility with the delivery suite's existing consumable and accessory inventory.

OEM Customisation Supported for Distributors and Institutional Buyers

The FKEM-SDSS-2 supports full OEM customisation, including upholstery colour selection, branded frame components, and specification modifications for specific regulatory markets. Container-load pricing, minimum order quantities, and production lead times for customised configurations are negotiated and confirmed through Medigear.uk, which manages supplier relationships for all bulk and trade buyers.
