Saikang CROq

The Saikang CR0q serves paediatric wards, neonatal step-down units, and postnatal observation bays across NHS trusts and private children's hospitals. Its primary application is inpatient accommodation for infants and toddlers who require a fully enclosed cot-style sleeping environment — patients who cannot safely be managed in an open-sided paediatric bed and whose size and developmental stage require a compact, fully enclosed platform. The CR0q's fixed 500 mm height and 1580 × 600 mm mattress platform are sized precisely for this population, providing a clinically appropriate sleeping environment without over-specifying the bed for older patients.

In postnatal wards, the CR0q provides a dedicated infant sleeping surface alongside the mother's bed during rooming-in stays, supporting early bonding and breastfeeding whilst maintaining a safe, enclosed environment for the neonate during maternal rest periods. Its compact external footprint of 1600 × 750 mm fits within the constrained space of postnatal bay configurations without impeding caregiver access or clinical workflow. The full enclosure rail and integrated bed-end design ensure the infant remains within the sleeping surface, regardless of mobility or positional changes during sleep.

For paediatric assessment units and short-stay wards caring for children with acute illness, the CR0q provides a stable, infection-resistant inpatient surface for observation and treatment. Children presenting with febrile illness, respiratory conditions, or gastrointestinal infection in the infant-to-toddler age group are accommodated safely within the enclosed design, with the full-height side rails preventing roll-out during sleep, examination, or nursing procedures. The covered castors allow the CR0q to be repositioned quickly within the bay as clinical requirements change.

In paediatric surgical day-stay units, the CR0q accommodates infants recovering from minor procedures under general anaesthesia. The enclosed design is valuable during post-anaesthetic recovery, when an infant's coordination and responsiveness are reduced, and the risk of rolling or sudden positional change is elevated. IV pole provision and drainage hook placement support the infusion and drainage management requirements of the post-operative period. Medigear.uk distributes the CR0q to paediatric departments and postnatal units across the UK.

Full-Enclosure Side Rails for Infant Safety

The CR0q's full-length side rails run from head to foot on both sides of the mattress platform, creating a completely enclosed sleeping environment. This full-enclosure design is essential for infants and toddlers who cannot remain safely within an open-sided bed during sleep or unobserved periods. Rails lock positively in the raised position and lower for caregiver access during nursing, feeding, and examination.

Integrated Bed Ends Completing the Four-Sided Enclosure

Integrated head and foot boards complete the four-sided enclosure, securing the sleeping surface on all sides. The integrated design eliminates the gap risk associated with removable bed ends that may be inadvertently left unsecured. The bed ends incorporate a locking mechanism to prevent detachment during patient transfer or bed manoeuvring.

Fixed 500 mm Height for Caregiver Access

The fixed 500 mm bed height positions the mattress platform at a height appropriate for infant care procedures without requiring the caregiver to adopt a deeply stooped posture. The fixed-height design eliminates mechanical complexity, reducing maintenance requirements and the risk of height being left at an unsafe setting between nursing assessments.

Compact 1580 × 600 mm Platform for Infant Cohort

The mattress platform is sized specifically for the infant-to-toddler age group, proportionate to the patient rather than scaling down an adult-profile bed. The 1580 × 600 mm platform fits within standard paediatric bay configurations, including postnatal rooms and neonatal step-down bays where space per patient is constrained.

Covered 3-Inch Castors for Clinical Environments

The 3-inch covered castors protect the wheel mechanism from fluid and debris accumulation common in clinical environments, particularly paediatric areas where spills, bodily fluids, and cleaning agents are frequent. Covered castors maintain smoother operation over the bed's service life and reduce contamination risk associated with open-frame castor housings.

CE-Marked for NHS Procurement

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

ABS Components Sterilisable Above 100°C

All plastic components are manufactured from virgin environmental ABS, a non-toxic, odourless, and sterilisable material above 100°C. This supports terminal decontamination between patient admissions, including environments that manage immunocompromised infants or those with infectious conditions requiring enhanced infection-control standards.

Standard Accessory Set Matched to Infant Care Needs

The CR0q's standard accessory set — IV pole, four IV pole provisions, two drainage hooks — reflects the clinical requirements of infant inpatient care. IV lines, nasogastric feeds, and dependent drainage are routine in this patient group, and the accessory positioning supports these needs without adding unnecessary bulk to a compact cot frame.

Fixed Bed Height: 500 mm

The CR0q maintains a single fixed height of 500 mm from floor to mattress platform. No mechanical height adjustment is provided, simplifying the frame structure and eliminating the need for moving-part maintenance. The 500 mm position is appropriate for infant care procedures and provides a consistent working height for nursing staff across all shifts.

Full-Length Side Rails (1 set, both sides)

Full-length side rails run the full length of the mattress platform on both sides, locking into place to create a fully enclosed sleeping environment—rails lower for caregiver access and re-lock on return to the raised position. The full-length design provides uninterrupted lateral fall protection without gaps.

Integrated Bed Ends (1 set)

Integrated head and foot boards are fixed to the bed frame structure via a safe-lock mechanism. The integrated design prevents the unintended absence of a bed end and completes the four-sided enclosure required for safe infant accommodation. Boards present smooth, rounded surfaces compatible with standard hospital disinfectants.

Mattress Platform: 1580 × 600 mm

The mattress platform is sized for the infant-to-toddler age group, measuring 1580 mm long and 600 mm wide. The compact width allows the CR0q to fit within constrained postnatal bay and paediatric bay configurations.

3-Inch Covered Castors (4 pcs)

Four 3-inch covered castors provide smooth manoeuvring on standard ward and postnatal floor surfaces. The covered castor housing protects the wheel mechanism from fluid and debris, maintaining reliable rolling performance throughout the bed's service life.

IV Pole (1 pc) and IV Pole Provision (4 pcs)

One adjustable IV pole is supplied as standard, with four provision sockets distributed around the frame. For infants requiring IV therapy, nasogastric feeds, or monitoring lines, flexible pole placement is a practical necessity. IV pole height adjusts to maintain the correct administration height relative to the infant's position.

Drainage Hooks (2 pcs)

Two drainage hooks are positioned for urine drainage bags and wound drain collectors, maintaining correct dependent height for accurate drainage assessment and preventing backflow as the bed is repositioned within the bay.

Epoxy Paint: ASTM Antibacterial, 0.12 mm

The 11-stage epoxy paint process produces an antibacterial coating tested to ASTM standards at 0.12 mm thickness, 60° brightness, and 50 kg impact resistance, maintaining antibacterial properties under standard ward cleaning and disinfection regimes.

ABS Components: Sterilisable Above 100°C, Tensile ≤30 MPa

Plastic components are manufactured from virgin environmental ABS with a tensile strength of up to 30 MPa. They are sterilisable at temperatures above 100°C without degradation or discolouration, supporting terminal decontamination in paediatric and postnatal environments.

Panasonic Robotic Welding, 360° Seamless

The bed frame uses Panasonic robotic welding, achieving 360° seamless welds throughout, providing long-term structural integrity under the loading and transport forces of continuous ward use.

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 included with each order. Post-warranty technical support is free; parts are charged at cost. Medigear.uk manages all warranty and spare parts logistics for UK customers.
