Offered in two load ratings, the SH-500-B is LUVXOM's aluminium alloy medical flat panel mount for bedside and bay screens. The published figures are a length of 930 mm, a width of 32 mm, a lifting range of 355 mm, and a load-bearing range given as either 0.5 to 2 kg or 2 to 4 kg. The finish is white. That is the whole specification. No mounting interface pattern, wall-fixing detail, arm mass, tilt or swivel angle, or locking arrangement appears anywhere in the available literature.

Two of those numbers work against each other, and the arithmetic is worth doing before anything is ordered. Load is quoted at the head, where the screen bolts on. The load that decides whether the installation stands up is at the wall plate, and leverage multiplies it by the reach. Four kilograms held at 930 mm exerts roughly 36 newton metres on the wall fixing before the arm's own mass is added, and that mass is not published. A rating at the head tells a buyer what the arm will carry. It says nothing about what the wall must.

Both connection points are unspecified. At the screen end, no mounting interface pattern is given, so this sheet cannot answer whether a display will bolt to it. At the wall end, no fixing size, substrate requirement, hardware list, or installation torque is provided. Those two facts decide whether the product can be installed at all.

Nothing about the packed item is published. Medigear.uk lists the SH-500-B for UK business buyers. Before ordering, request the mounting interface pattern, the wall-fixing specification with substrate requirements, the arm mass, and which load band ships with the order from the seller.

The SH-500-B solves a problem that appears wherever a screen must be read at the bedside. Observation displays, drug charts on a tablet, imaging review at the bay, telemedicine consultations, and patient entertainment all need a panel somewhere it can be seen from a bed, then moved out of the way when clinical access is needed. A wall-mounted arm keeps that panel off the floor, off a trolley and out of the working space, which is what wall mounting buys in a tight bay.

Reach and lift determine whether it works in a particular room. A 930 mm reach covers the distance from a wall to a bedside in most bay layouts, and 355 mm of vertical travel covers the difference between a seated visitor, a propped-up patient, and a staff member standing to read something. The figure that is not published is the mounting height, and that is set at installation rather than by the product, so the lifting range should be positioned around the intended eye lines rather than centred by default.

Installation is where the effort actually sits. The mount is a small purchase, but the fixing is a permanent alteration to the building fabric, requiring a substrate survey, an anchor specified for what is behind the plaster, estate sign-off,f and making good afterwards. Any data or power the screen needs has to arrive at the same point. Departments planning a rollout should price the installation in the bracket.

Buying runs through the usual routes. NHS Supply Chain, trust framework agreements, Integrated Care Boards, private hospitals and clinics each apply their own standing financial instructions, and wall-mounted equipment normally clears estates rather than a clinical evidence panel. The manufacturer issues documentation for the supplied load band, and the seller provides it.

A published lifting range, not just a fixed height

Three hundred and fifty-five millimetres of vertical travel is a real figure tied to a real adjustment, and it is the specification that decides whether one mounting position serves a seated patient and a standing staff member. A stated travel lets the installer set the range around the eye lines that matter in that bay.

Reach is measured from the wall plate.

Nine hundred and thirty millimetres is given as the length, which reads as the distance the head can travel out from the wall. That is the number a bay layout is checked against, and having it published means a room can be assessed on a drawing rather than by trial fitting.

Two load bands rather than one compromise

Offering 0.5 to 2 kg and 2 to 4 kg means the arm can be matched to what it is actually carrying, and a balanced arm holds position where an over-sprung or under-sprung one drifts. The band has to be specified on the order, but the choice available at all is what makes accurate balance possible.

Nothing on the floor and nothing on a trolley

A wall mount removes a stand from the bay, removes a trolley from the circulation route, and takes the associated cables off the floor. In a bay where a bed has to be wheeled out in a hurry, the equipment on the floor becomes a safety issue rather than a tidiness one.

Aluminium alloy construction

Aluminium keeps the arm's mass low for the stiffness it delivers, and that matters twice over on a wall mount: less dead load on the fixing, and less weight for whoever holds the assembly against the wall during installation. The finish is what protects it, so the finish specification is worth having.

Nothing powered, nothing to test

The arm draws no current and holds no electronic component. It sits outside portable appliance testing and every electrical safety scheme the provider runs. Anything electrical in the installation belongs to the screen and its supply, not to the bracket.

A single fixed point per bay

Once installed, the mount does not move, does not need charging, does not get borrowed by the next ward and does not need finding at the start of a shift. Fixed equipment has an asset register entry and stays where the register says it is.

The wear points are joints, not consumables.

Nothing here is consumed. What ages are the friction in the joints and the spring or gas assembly that balances the arm? A department that establishes at purchase whether those are adjustable or replaceable is buying a longer service life than one that treats the arm as sealed.

The open questions are all answerable in one email

Interface pattern, fixing specification, arm mass, load band, finish type. Each is a fact the manufacturer already has, and none requires testing or negotiation. The quality of the answer is itself information about the supplier.

Length 930 mm

The sheet lists a length of 930 mm, which appears to be the reach from the wall plate to the mounting head. No drawing accompanies the figure.

Width 32 mm

A width of 32 mm is published. The figure is implausible as an overall width for the assembly shown in the render. It is more likely a tube diameter or arm profile dimension, so confirm it against a dimensioned drawing.

Lifting range 355 mm

Vertical travel is given as 355 mm. The mounting height that range sits around is set at installation and is not a product specification.

Two load bands

Load-bearing range is published as either 0.5 to 2 kg or 2 to 4 kg. The sheet does not say how the band is selected, whether the two are different builds, or whether the balance is adjustable within a band.

Aluminium alloy construction

The material is given as aluminium alloy. No alloy designation, temper, wall thickness or section is published.

White finish

Colour is given as white. No finish type, coating specification, thickness, or durability rating is published, and the finish protects aluminium from chloride attack.

Articulating arm with telescoping section

The render shows a wall plate, a horizontal articulating arm with two visible joints, a telescoping vertical section and a mounting head with a handle beneath it. None of those elements is described in the written specification.

Mounting interface not published.

No VESA pattern, plate dimension, fixing centre, screw size or maximum screen diagonal appears anywhere, and no adaptor plate is mentioned.

Wall fixing not published.

No wall plate hole pattern, bolt size, substrate requirement, hardware list, or installation torque is given for a product whose entire load path runs through that fixing.

Arm mass not published.

Neither the arm mass nor a packed shipping mass is provided, leaving both the wall calculation and the installation method statement without a starting figure.

Movement ranges not published.

No tilt, swivel or rotation angle is stated for any joint, and no range-limiting provision is described.

Locking and friction not published

No brake, clamp, friction adjustment or locking lever is mentioned, and the sheet does not say whether position is held by balance alone.

Cable management not published.d

No routing channel, clip, cover or internal passage is described, and no cable diameter allowance is given.

No electrical parts

The arm carries no current and contains no electronic components, so it falls outside portable appliance testing and every electrical safety scheme a provider operates.

Cleaning products not published.

No recommended cleaning or disinfection product is listed for the aluminium or the finish, and no compatibility statement is provided for the agents used in clinical areas.

The SH-500-B clearly publishes four things: a reach, a width, a lifting range, and two load bands. It does not publish either end of the connection. Without a mounting interface pattern, no screen can be specified against it. Without a wall-fixing detail, no installer can specify an anchor for the bending moment this reach produces. Both are single facts held by the manufacturer, and both should arrive before an order, not after. Medigear.uk lists the SH-500-B for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Request the mounting interface pattern, wall-fixing specification, arm mass, and load band supplied by the seller in the quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

One model code carries two load bands, at 0.5 to 2 kg and at 2 to 4 kg, and the sheet never says how the choice is made. Arms of this type usually achieve their rating through a spring or friction assembly matched to a weight range, which means the two bands are almost certainly different builds rather than an adjustment on the same one. An arm set for the lighter band will drift under a heavier screen, and an arm set for the heavier band will not hold a light one in place. Specify the band on the order, weigh the intended display first, and check that any test report or certificate names the band it covers.

Considerably more, and this number determines the installation. The rating is quoted at the head. At the wall plate, the same load acts through the full 930 mm of reach, so four kilograms produces around 36 newton metres of bending moment at the fixing before the arm's own weight is counted. That figure rises and falls as the arm is extended and folded, so the worst case is full extension with the heaviest permitted screen. Nothing on this sheet gives the arm mass, the centre of gravity or a wall reaction figure, and all three belong in the installation calculation.

Unanswered on every count. No fixing pattern, bolt size, substrate requirement, hardware list or installation torque appears. That gap matters more here than on a free-standing item, because a bending moment of the order calculated above is carried entirely by whatever the wall plate is bolted into. Plasterboard on studs, blockwork, brick and concrete all take that moment differently, and the anchor has to be selected against the substrate rather than against the bracket. Treat the fixing as a separate engineering decision, get the wall plate hole pattern and the manufacturer's minimum substrate requirement in writing, and have the installation surveyed rather than assumed.

On the published wording, very probably not. A mount has no medical purpose of its own, and the accessory route does not obviously apply either. An accessory is an article intended by its manufacturer to be used with one or several particular medical devices, to enable those devices to be used as intended or to directly assist their medical functionality. The connection must be to specified devices, not medical equipment in general, and a generic mount marketed for flat panels at large falls outside that. If the supplier claims accessory status, ask which named devices it is specified against. If not, the operative duties apply to anyone supplying an article for use at work under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, together with the General Product Safety Regulations and the employer's duties under PUWER.

Not to the mount by itself, and knowing where it does apply is useful. The arm contains no electrical parts, so it is not medical electrical equipment, and the standard does not bind it as a product. Clause 9.8 of that standard covers mechanical hazards associated with support systems, and its scope reaches support systems carrying an external load, with stated safety factors between the intended load and the failure point. Where this arm is combined with medical electrical equipment to form a system, the obligation to satisfy that clause falls on whoever assembles the system rather than on the bracket manufacturer. If a display manufacturer or an integrator is specifying the installation, that is the clause they will be working to, and they will want a tested failure load rather than a working load.

Less clearly than it looks. The render shows a wall plate, a horizontal articulating arm, a telescoping vertical section and a head with a handle beneath it, and the sheet gives three figures without a drawing to attach them to. A length of 930 mm reads as the reach from the wall, and a lifting range of 355 mm reads as the vertical travel of the telescoping section. A width of 32 mm is implausible as the overall width of the assembly shown and is far more likely a tube diameter or an arm-profile dimension. Ask for a dimensioned drawing rather than accepting the three-figure table.

Nothing published says. There is no mention of a brake, a clamp, a friction adjustment or a locking lever, and no statement of whether the position is held by spring balance alone. That matters in two ways. A screen that drifts downward over a shift is an irritation; a screen that swings freely when knocked is a hazard in a bay where a bed is being moved. Ask whether the joints have adjustable friction, whether any joint can be locked out, and whether the range of movement can be limited at installation.

No cleaning or disinfection product is recommended anywhere, which is the most common gap on sheets of this kind and one that national guidance on shared equipment expects a manufacturer to fill. The construction is aluminium alloy with a white finish, and the finish is what protects the metal. Aluminium is more vulnerable to chloride attack than stainless steel, so where a coating is chipped or worn through at a joint or a pinch point, contact with chlorine-releasing agents will find it. Ask what the finish is, whether it is powder coating or anodising, and for a written compatibility statement covering the products the department actually uses.

Not published, and it is needed twice. It belongs in the wall calculation, because the arm's own mass acts through its own centre of gravity and adds to whatever the screen contributes. It also belongs in the installation method statement, since a wall plate held against a ceiling-height fixing by one person is a different job from one needing two. Ask for the arm mass and the packed mass, and for the packed dimensions alongside them.

Anyone who cannot obtain the mounting interface pattern should not order it, because a display that will not bolt on makes everything else academic. Any installation into plasterboard without a surveyed substrate and a specified anchor should wait for the fixing detail. A department mounting anything approaching four kilograms at full reach over a bed needs the arm mass and a wall reaction figure before estates will sign it off. Where the wall is solid, the screen is light, the interface pattern checks out,, andsomeone competentg has specifiedthe fixingt, it does a straightforward job.

Send it as one list. It covers the mounting interface pattern with screw size and maximum screen diagonal, the wall plate hole pattern, the minimum substrate requirement and whether fixings are supplied, the installation torque, the arm mass and centre of gravity, a wall reaction figure at full extension, which load band ships against the order, any test report with the band and the safety factor it covers, tilt, swivel and rotation ranges, whether joints lock or have adjustable friction, cable management provision, the finish type with a cleaning compatibility statement, a dimensioned drawing, the packed dimensions and mass, and the warranty.
