Saikang CD3Q

The Saikang CD3q serves paediatric wards across NHS trusts and private children's hospitals as a general-purpose manual bed for a wide range of admissions. Its primary application is overnight and multi-day inpatient care for children admitted with medical conditions, post-surgical recovery, or trauma — situations where a stable, adjustable, and infection-resistant sleeping surface is required for the full duration of the admission. The manual crank system is well-suited to ward environments where electric beds are not operationally necessary, reducing maintenance complexity while delivering the height adjustment needed for safe nursing practice.

In paediatric day-stay units, the CD3q's full-length aluminium alloy side rails provide continuous fall protection during the post-procedure recovery period, when children may be drowsy, disoriented, or unwilling to remain still. Its minimum height of 508 mm is appropriate for children who may attempt a supervised exit from the bed under nursing observation, and the 1701 × 900 mm mattress platform accommodates a wide age range without the child feeling constrained by a narrower sleeping surface. The retractable cranks eliminate protrusion hazards in busy bay environments where staff and families move around the bed throughout the day.

The CD3q is also well-suited to paediatric medical wards managing children with respiratory conditions, gastrointestinal illness, and infectious diseases — the most common reasons for paediatric inpatient admission in NHS hospitals. In these settings, the bed's ABS components, sterilisable above 100°C, and ASTM-tested epoxy frame coating simplify the rapid decontamination required between admissions during high-demand periods such as winter respiratory peaks. The smooth, weld-scar-free platform surface and rounded board design reduce the accumulation of contaminants in crevices and joints.

For paediatric surgical recovery wards, the back-rest adjustment of 75° ± 10° supports the semi-recumbent and sitting positions required during post-operative monitoring, feeding, and respiratory physiotherapy. The knee-rest adjustment of 35° ± 10° assists in positioning the lower limb for orthopaedic cases. Drainage hooks are positioned to maintain correct dependent drain height as the bed is adjusted, and IV pole provisions accommodate multiple infusion lines from any nursing approach angle. Medigear.uk supplies the CD3q to paediatric departments across the UK.

Full-Length Aluminium Alloy Side Rails

The CD3q's full-length aluminium alloy rails run the complete length of the mattress platform on both sides, providing fall protection along the entire sleeping surface. This is a clinical advantage over partial-length rails, which leave sections of the bed unguarded. The aluminium construction is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and compatible with standard hospital disinfectants. Rails lock positively in the raised position and lower smoothly for caregiver access.

Curve-Surrounded Rounded ABS Board Design

Head and foot boards use a fully rounded, curve-surrounded perimeter that eliminates sharp edges across all contact surfaces. This reduces the risk of accidental injury in an environment where children move unpredictably and may push against the bed ends. The rounded ABS design also presents a softer visual aesthetic than angular metal boards, contributing to a less clinical environment that supports the emotional comfort of young patients.

250 kg Platform Load Capacity

The stamping-formed mattress platform bears up to 250 kg, providing structural confidence across the full paediatric clinical weight range, including adolescent patients. The smooth, weld-scar-free platform surface simplifies cleaning and eliminates joints where contaminants could accumulate. The platform bears the clinical equipment load — monitoring lines, drainage systems, positioning aids — without structural compromise.

Retractable Dual Cranks Rated to 100,000 Cycles

Two retractable hand cranks drive height adjustment through a mechanism rated to 100,000 operation cycles, providing long service life under daily ward use. The cranks fold flush with the bed frame when not in use, eliminating protrusion hazards in busy bays. An extreme-protection device sounds an audible alert at maximum extension, preventing damage to the mechanism from over-cranking.

Hospital-Grade ABS Sterilisable at 100°C

All ABS plastic components — headboards, footboards, side-rail body panels, and accessories — are manufactured from virgin, non-toxic, odourless, environmentally friendly ABS, sterilisable at temperatures above 100°C. This supports terminal decontamination between patient admissions without degrading components, meeting hospital-grade disinfection standards applicable in paediatric wards with high infection-control requirements.

Large 1701 × 900 mm Mattress Platform

The mattress platform is one of the largest in the Saikang paediatric range, at 1701 × 900 mm, accommodating patients from toddlerhood to early adolescence without constraining them on a narrow or short sleeping surface. The additional width is particularly valuable for older paediatric patients who move significantly during sleep or who require therapeutic positioning that uses the full width of the bed.

CE-Marked for NHS Procurement

CE marking under MDD 93/42/EEC and compliance with EN 60601, ISO-9001, and ISO-13485 provide the audit trail required for NHS trust procurement approval, clinical engineering sign-off, and MHRA registration. Medigear.uk holds the UK distribution documentation and supplies the Declaration of Conformity and the full ISO certificate upon enquiry.

Panasonic Robotic Welding and 5.0 mm Base Plate

The bed frame uses Panasonic robotic welding to achieve 360° seamless welds, uniform in strength and surface finish. The solid base is formed from a 5.0 mm stamped rotating plate, providing structural rigidity under clinical load and transport forces. This manufacturing standard is consistent across the Saikang paediatric range and contributes to the bed's long service life under continuous ward use.

Optional X-Ray Translucent Platform

An optional resin X-ray translucent mattress platform avoids the need to transfer paediatric patients to a separate imaging surface for portable radiography. This reduces distress, shortens the imaging process, and lowers radiation exposure time by eliminating repositioning delays. The option is specified at the point of order through Medigear.uk.

Manual Height Adjustment: 508–770 mm

Height adjusts manually between 508 mm and 770 mm via dual retractable cranks, providing a 270 mm travel range. The 508 mm minimum height is appropriate for supervised patient exit; the 770 mm maximum height suits nursing procedures and examinations without stooping. Height is maintained mechanically without power dependency, making the bed suitable for ward environments with unreliable power infrastructure or where electric beds are operationally unnecessary.

Dual Retractable Hand Cranks

Two hand cranks provide independent control of backrest and knee-rest adjustment. The retractable design allows each crank to fold flush with the bed frame when not in use. The mechanism is rated to 100,000 operation cycles — equivalent to multiple years of daily ward use — and incorporates an audible maximum-position alert to prevent over-cranking.

Backrest Adjustment: 75° ± 10°

The backrest adjusts to a maximum of 75°, placing the patient in a near-sitting position suitable for feeding, respiratory support, physiotherapy, and comfortable waking hours. The ±10° tolerance allows fine-tuned positioning for specific post-operative or clinical requirements. Adjustment is smooth and continuous, with no stepped positions limiting the available angle range.

Knee-Rest Adjustment: 35° ± 10°

The knee-rest adjusts independently to 35°, supporting lower-limb elevation for orthopaedic post-operative care, oedema management, and comfortable positioning during extended bed rest. Combined backrest and knee-rest adjustment produces the semi-Fowler and Fowler positions used routinely in paediatric medical and surgical nursing.

Full-Length Aluminium Alloy Side Rails

Aluminium alloy side rails run the full length of the mattress platform on both sides, locking positively in the raised position and releasing smoothly for caregiver access. The full-length design provides fall protection along the entire sleeping surface, eliminating the lateral gap left by partial-length rail designs. Rail surfaces are smooth and corrosion-resistant and can be cleaned with standard hospital disinfectants.

ABS Groove Bed Ends with Safe Lock

Head and foot boards are manufactured from ABS plastic with a groove profile and an integrated safe-lock mechanism that prevents accidental detachment during patient transfer or bed manoeuvring. The curved, fully rounded perimeter eliminates the risk of sharp-edge contact. Boards are removable for cleaning and sterilisation, and reattach securely with the safe-lock engaged.

Stamping-Formed Platform, 250 kg Load

The mattress platform is formed by stamping, resulting in a smooth surface free of welding scars and raised joints. The platform load rating of 250 kg covers the full paediatric clinical weight range. The smooth surface simplifies wipe-down decontamination and prevents fluid or contaminant accumulation in surface irregularities.

3-Inch Hardshell Castors (4 pcs)

Four 3-inch hardshell castors provide controlled manoeuvring on ward floor surfaces. The hardshell construction resists deformation under clinical load and provides smooth rolling across standard hospital floor types, including vinyl, linoleum, and ceramic tile. Individual castor braking prevents unintended bed movement during patient care.

IV Pole and IV Pole Provision (4 pcs)

One IV pole is supplied as standard, with four IV pole provision sockets distributed around the bed frame to allow flexible positioning based on the patient's IV access site and nursing approach angle. The IV pole height is adjustable to accommodate infusion bags of varying volumes at the correct administration height relative to the patient's position and current bed angle.

Drainage Hooks (2 pcs)

Two drainage hooks are positioned on the bed frame for urine drainage bags, wound drain collectors, and other dependent drainage systems. Their positioning maintains correct dependent height relative to the patient as the bed height and backrest angle are adjusted, supporting accurate drain assessment and preventing backflow.

Epoxy Paint: ASTM Antibacterial, 0.12 mm Thickness

The 11-stage epoxy paint process produces a uniform coating tested to ASTM antibacterial performance standards. A paint thickness of 0.12 mm, with a 60° brightness rating and 50 kg impact resistance, provides a durable, chip-resistant surface that maintains its antibacterial properties under standard ward cleaning regimes.

ABS Components Sterilisable at 100°C

All plastic components — board faces, side-rail panels, accessory caps — are manufactured from virgin environmental ABS with a tensile strength of up to 30 MPa. The material withstands sterilisation above 100°C, enabling terminal decontamination between patient admissions without component degradation or discolouration.

Panasonic Robotic Welding, 360° Seamless

The bed frame is welded using Panasonic robotic welding to achieve 360° continuous, seamless welds throughout the frame structure. This welding standard produces uniform weld strength with no localised stress points, contributing to long-term structural integrity under daily loading, adjustment, and transport forces.

12-Month Warranty with Free Spare Parts

The standard 12-month warranty covers manufacturing defects with free parts and repair support. One per cent of the order value in spare parts is supplied with each order. Post-warranty technical support from Saikang is free of charge; parts are charged at cost. Medigear.uk manages all warranty and spare parts logistics for UK customers and can advise on planned maintenance arrangements.
