Vanry A-1

Product Code: HFAF-HB-3745

Sit up, legs up, deck up — all three by hand, with or without power.

Three hand cranks sit the patient up, raise the leg section and move the bed through a published 430 to 780 mm height range. Nothing plugs in, so positioning carries on through outages and on sites where mains supply cannot be relied on.

Hebei Vanry Medical Devices' A-1 is a three-function manual hospital bed designed around hand-crank adjustment. The datasheet lists three movements: backrest raise and lower, leg section raise and lower, and overall height from 430 to 780 mm, each worked by its own crank. Backrest and leg angles are not published. No Trendelenburg, reverse Trendelenburg, lateral tilt, CPR release or powered function is listed.

Every movement is mechanical, and that decides where the bed can work. With no motor, handset or mains lead, positioning continues through power cuts, on generator-rationed sites and in temporary wards where sockets are scarce, and the bed sits outside portable appliance testing. The trade is staff effort: each adjustment is a crank turned by a member of staff, so the moving and handling assessment should cover how often positions change on the ward the bed will serve.

The written specification stops at those three functions. Product photography shows moulded head and foot boards with blue inset panels, split side rails, a perforated deck and four castors, but none of these is itemised on the datasheet. Treat each as unconfirmed until the quotation lists it, including the number and type of rails, the castor diameter and the braking arrangement.

The A-1 measures 2200 × 1040 mm with a height range of 430–780 mm, giving 350 mm of travel. It is listed on Medigear.uk for business buyers worldwide. Request the safe working load, the backrest and leg angles, the rail gap dimensions and the declaration of conformity from the seller before order.

The A-1 suits settings where a bed must position a patient without depending on a socket or a stable grid. District and rural hospitals where supply fails for hours at a time, field and disaster-response hospitals running on rationed generator capacity, and surge wards opened in spaces never wired for powered beds can all deploy it without adding electrical load or a testing schedule.

On general and medical wards, the backrest supports sitting for meals, medication and breathing, and the leg section helps limit sliding down the mattress. The 430–780 mm height range lets staff bring the patient toward working height for care tasks and lower the bed for transfers. The lowest position is not a low-bed height, so patients at high risk of falling from bed need their own assessment and possibly different equipment.

Nursing homes, convalescent units and long-stay wards use three-function beds for residents who spend part of the day sitting up. Where rails are fitted, MHRA guidance governs prescription, fitting and maintenance, and no rail should be issued without an individual risk assessment that covers the mattress in use.

The bed is a poor fit for wards where staff reposition patients in bed many times a shift, for intensive care positioning that depends on head-down tilt, for children, and for bariatric patients until a safe working load is published.

Public procurement routes, including NHS frameworks, and equivalent tenders elsewhere ask for the declaration of conformity, the standard the bed was tested to, and the device class. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

Positioning that never waits for power

Every movement is driven by hand, so the bed sits patients up, raises their legs and changes height through outages, generator changeovers and tripped circuits. Care carries on exactly as planned, whatever the supply is doing.

Ready for any bedspace

With no mains lead to route and no socket to find, the A-1 goes straight into district hospitals, field wards, surge bays and converted rooms. Where there is floor space, there is a working bed.

A full working height range

The deck travels 350 mm, from 430 to 780 mm, so staff can raise patients for washing and dressings and bring them down for transfers. Every task happens at a comfortable level.

Sitting up for meals and breathing

The backrest crank lifts patients into a supported sitting position for eating, drinking, medication and conversation. Breathless patients get upright support the moment they need it.

A leg section that holds the position

Raising the legs alongside the backrest keeps patients seated securely and stops them sliding toward the foot of the mattress. Comfort lasts, and skin is protected from shear.

Nothing to charge, pair or replace

No batteries, handsets or control boxes means nothing to run flat, go missing or wear out. The bed is ready at the start of every shift.

Simple for every member of staff

One crank for each movement makes the A-1 intuitive for permanent, agency and redeployed staff alike. There is nothing to programme and nothing to unlock.

Mechanical parts that stay serviceable

Crank drives, pivots and castors are straightforward mechanical parts that estates teams inspect and maintain with everyday tools, keeping beds in service year after year.

Three-function manual operation

Backrest, leg section and overall height are each controlled by a dedicated hand crank for precise, deliberate positioning.

Backrest raise and lower

Lifts the upper body smoothly into a supported sitting position and returns it flat for rest and sleep.

Leg section raise and lower

Elevates the lower limbs for comfort and holds the patient in place when the backrest is raised.

Height range of 430 to 780 mm

350 mm of height travel brings the patient to a comfortable working level for care and down again for transfers.

Hand-crank drive

Every adjustment is made by hand at the pace the carer chooses, with smooth, controlled movement.

Fully power-independent

No motor, battery, control box or mains lead, so the bed performs identically with or without electricity.

Generous 2200 mm length

A full-length frame that accommodates adult patients comfortably across the whole ward population.

Stable 1040 mm width

A broad, steady footprint that gives patients a secure lying surface and staff a solid bed to work beside.

Moulded headboards and footboards

Smooth moulded boards with blue inset panels and hand-hold openings bring a clean, modern look to any ward.

Split side rails

Split side rails give patients support and security while leaving staff flexible access along each side of the bed.

Perforated deck

A perforated platform lets air circulate beneath the mattress, helping keep the lying surface fresh and comfortable.

Four castors

Four castors make it easy to reposition the bed within a bay or move it between rooms.

ISO 13485 certified manufacturer

Built by Hebei Vanry Medical Devices, which publishes ISO 13485:2016 certification for its medical device quality management system.

The A-1 does three things by hand: it sits the patient up, raises the legs and moves the bed through 350 mm of height. That makes it a practical bed for any ward where power cannot be taken for granted, and a simple one to maintain, with no electrical testing and no actuators to replace. Its limits are equally clear. The safe working load, section angles and rail dimensions are unpublished; it lists no tilt, and it is built for adults. Medigear.uk lists the A-1 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Request the safe working load, section angles, rail and mattress dimensions, spares list and declaration of conformity from the seller at quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The datasheet lists three functions: the backrest raises and lowers, the leg section raises and lowers, and the whole bed rises and falls between 430 and 780 mm. The Chinese product name describes a manual three-crank bed, so each movement has its own hand crank. Staff turn the crank for the section they want to move, and the position holds when they stop. The angles each section reaches are not published, so confirm them at quotation if a care plan depends on a particular backrest position.

No power supply is listed, and the bed carries no motor, control box or handset. That takes it out of portable appliance testing and removes the risk of a failed actuator or power cut stranding the bed in position. It remains work equipment, so the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 apply in the UK, including maintenance and training. HSE's test for LOLER is whether lifting or lowering a load is a principal function of the equipment, and whether a height-adjustable bed meets that test is a judgement for the duty holder's competent person.

The safe working load is not published in manufacturer literature, so confirm it at quotation. Ask for the figure in writing, and ask whether it covers the patient alone or the patient plus mattress and any equipment mounted on the frame. The answer decides whether the bed suits bariatric patients, and until it is published, the A-1 should not be allocated to them. Also ask for the maximum patient weight stated in the instructions for use, because the two figures are not always the same.

The datasheet itemises none of them. Product photography shows split side rails, but the number of rails, their height above the mattress and their gap dimensions are not stated, so the quotation should list exactly what ships. No mattress appears in the configuration, and no infusion stand, drainage hook or accessory socket is listed or shown. Treat everything beyond the three functions as an item to confirm in writing before the purchase order is raised.

In the UK, bed rails are governed by the MHRA guidance Bed rails: management and safe use, and by National Patient Safety Alert NatPSA/2023/010/MHRA on entrapment and falls. The MHRA received 18 reports of deaths and 54 reports of serious injuries linked to bed rails and associated equipment in the UK between January 2018 and December 2022, most of them in community care settings. The guidance expects an individual risk assessment before using rails, gap checks between the rail, mattress, and head or foot board, and inclusion of rails in planned preventative maintenance. Ask the seller for the rail dimensions and the mattress dimensions the rails were designed around, because a thinner or thicker mattress changes the gaps.

IEC 80601-2-52:2026 is the current international standard for adult medical beds, and its scope explicitly includes manual, non-electrical beds. Many declarations still cite the earlier IEC 60601-2-52:2009 with its 2015 amendment, so ask which edition the A-1 was tested against. A bed of this kind is typically Class I under UK MDR 2002, or higher depending on use; confirm this against the declaration of conformity at order. Great Britain currently accepts CE-marked devices under transitional arrangements. At the same time, the MHRA considers indefinite recognition, and a manufacturer outside the UK needs a UK Responsible Person to place the bed on the GB market. Conformity requirements differ by destination market, and the seller confirms what applies where the unit is going.

The backrest angle is not published, so the datasheet cannot confirm it. A 2016 Cochrane review of ten trials in mechanically ventilated adults found that a semi-recumbent position of 30 to 60 degrees reduced clinically suspected ventilator-associated pneumonia compared with a flat position of 0 to 10 degrees, but rated the evidence as seriously limited by high risk of bias. The same review found no significant difference in microbiologically confirmed pneumonia or mortality. The evidence comes from ventilated intensive care patients, so its application to general ward patients is an extrapolation, and a buyer who needs a known angle should confirm the backrest range in writing.

It is not built for children, because the bed standard it falls under covers adults. It should not go to bariatric patients until a safe working load is published, or to patients at high risk of falling from bed who need a low-height bed, because 430 mm is its lowest published height. It lists no Trendelenburg or tilt, so it does not suit care that depends on head-down positioning. HSE guidance states that where patients need to be handled in bed, providing electric profiling beds must be considered under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, so a ward with frequent in-bed repositioning should record that consideration before choosing a crank-operated bed.

With no electrics, running cost sits in mechanical parts: crank handles, the drive screws behind them, pivots, castors and any rails supplied. None of these carries a published part number or lead time, so ask the seller for a spares list, pricing and delivery times before committing a fleet. Bed rails need planned preventative maintenance with recorded inspections under the MHRA guidance, and that labour belongs in the running budget. The seller sets warranty terms at quotation.

Confirm the safe working load, the backrest and leg angles, and whether the 430–780 mm range is measured to the deck surface or to another point. Confirm what ships as standard, including rails, castors, brakes and any mattress. Request the declaration of conformity, the standard edition it cites, the device class and the UK Responsible Person details from the seller. Packing dimensions and shipped mass are also unpublished and are needed to plan freight and unloading.

A-1 is a short, generic model code. The purchase order and the declaration of conformity should both name Hebei Vanry Medical Devices Co., Ltd as the legal manufacturer alongside the code. That keeps the paperwork, the spares and any field safety notice traceable to the right product for the life of the bed.
