Residents who walk daily are natural users of the B-3, a two-function manual hospital bed from Hebei Vanry Medical Devices. Sold as a Full-Fowler Manual Bed, it lists backrest raise and lower and leg section raise and lower, and the Chinese product name describes a manual two-crank bed. Overall size is 2200 × 1070 × 500 mm, with height given as a single figure. No height adjustment, Trendelenburg, reverse Trendelenburg, lateral tilt, CPR release or powered function is listed, and backrest and leg angles are not published.

The B-3 fits a particular kind of patient well. Someone recovering, visiting for respite, or living in long-term care but still on their feet needs a bed that supports rest and sitting up, then gets out of the way. Two cranks give them a sitting position for reading, meals and conversation, and the leg section helps hold it. They don't need a height range for heavy bedside care; they do need encouragement out of bed, because time spent lying down quickly costs older adults muscle.

The datasheet itemises nothing beyond the two functions. Product photography shows moulded headboards and footboards with orange inset panels and round hand-hold openings; four split side rails with orange panels on the near side; a perforated backrest; an articulated leg section; folded crank handles at the foot end; and four castors. Each item stays unconfirmed until the quotation lists it.

The B-3 measures 2200 × 1070 mm and has a fixed height of 500 mm. Medigear.uk lists it for business buyers worldwide. Request the safe working load, section angles, platform width, rail dimensions and the declaration of conformity from the seller before ordering.

Rehabilitation and step-down units are the clearest fit for the B-3. Patients there work toward independence, and the bed supports rest and sitting up while therapists help them stand, transfer, and walk. A two-crank bed with no height range suits that stage, because the heavy handling that a height range serves has largely passed.

Respite care is a second fit. Short stays for people who normally live at home call for a bed that is familiar and simple, supports sitting up for meals and visitors, and does not encourage the resident to stay in it all day. Two cranks and no handset keep it easy for rotating staff to use.

The third is for residential and long-term care residents who still walk. Sitting up in bed for breakfast, reading, or conversation is part of the day, and getting up afterwards is the goal. Evidence on bed rest in older adults shows how quickly muscle is lost when people stay lying down, so the bed works best alongside a routine that gets residents up and moving.

Where rails are fitted, MHRA guidance governs their assessment, fitting and maintenance, and for many mobile residents that assessment will conclude that rails are not needed.

The B-3 is a poor fit for dependent patients needing frequent bedside care or assisted transfers, for children, for bariatric residents without a published load rating, for residents too short to stand from its height, for anyone at high risk of falling from bed, and for care requiring head-down tilt.

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

Made for residents who still walk

The B-3 supports rest, reading and meals in bed, then lets mobile residents get up and on with their day.

Sitting up is the first step out of bed.

The backrest raises residents to a sitting position, the natural starting point for standing and walking.

A consistent height for getting up

A fixed 500 mm height gives residents the same familiar height every time they stand up or sit down.

Comfortable, secure sitting

Raising the legs with the backrest keeps residents seated comfortably for breakfast, reading or visitors.

Easy for respite and rotating staff

Two cranks cover every movement, so any staff member can operate the bed confidently.

Wide and steady

A 1070 mm overall width gives the B-3 a broad, stable stance at the bedside.

Warm, welcoming look

Orange inset panels on the boards and rails bring colour and warmth to residents' rooms.

Works through power cuts

Both movements are mechanical, so the bed stays adjustable regardless of the power supply.

Two-function manual bed

Backrest and leg section, each on its own hand crank.

Full-Fowler positioning

Seats the resident upright with the legs supported.

Backrest raise and lower

Lifts residents to sitting and lowers them for rest.

Articulated leg section

Raises and supports the lower limbs for comfortable sitting.

Folding foot-end cranks

Crank handles fold neatly away at the foot end.

Fixed 500 mm height

The same familiar height for every sit-to-stand.

ISO 13485 certified manufacturer

Made by Hebei Vanry Medical Devices, which publishes ISO 13485:2016 quality management certification.

The B-3 is a two-crank manual bed for a specific group: adults who are recovering, staying for respite or living in long-term care, and who still get up and walk. It sits them up for meals, reading, and visitors, and helps them hold that position at a fixed 500 mm height, without electricity. Research on bed rest in older adults reminds us that the bed works best as a place to rest and sit, with the day spent up and about. Medigear.uk lists the B-3 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Request the safe working load, section angles, platform width, rail dimensions, itemised supply, and declaration of conformity from the seller with the quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

It suits adults who can get in and out of bed themselves or with light help, and who use the bed for sleep, rest and sitting up rather than for long periods of dependent care. That includes rehabilitation and step-down units, respite stays, residential care, and long-term care for residents who are still mobile. These two movements cover sitting up and holding that position, which this group uses most. Patients who need heavy bedside care from staff need a working height that changes, which this bed does not offer.

In a small 2007 study, 12 healthy adults with an average age of 67 spent 10 days in continuous bed rest and lost close to a kilogram of lean tissue from their legs. A review of the same work reports an average fall in knee extensor strength of about 16 per cent. A follow-up study of 11 healthy older adults found substantial losses in strength, power and aerobic capacity after 10 days, although standard physical performance tests did not change. These were healthy volunteers, not frail residents, but the direction is clear: the bed is best used for rest and sitting up, with residents up and about for the rest of the day.

The backrest crank raises the resident to a sitting position, which is the first stage of getting out of bed for many people. From sitting, the fixed height affects how easily they reach the floor, depending on their leg length and the mattress you choose. A published height of 500 mm plus a mattress suits taller residents better than shorter ones, who may not be able to place both feet flat on the floor. Ask whether the 500 mm figure is measured to the deck, and assess each resident's sit-to-stand at the actual sitting height.

It is the overall width, which sets doorway, lift and corridor clearance and how many beds fit along a wall. The platform width inside it is not published, so it is not yet clear how much of the 1070 mm is lying surface and how much is rails and frame. Ask the seller for the platform width and the mattress width the bed is designed around, because both affect comfort and the gaps between the mattress and rails.

The datasheet confirms only the two functions and the overall dimensions. The photos show four split side rails, orange inset panels, a perforated backrest, folded crank handles at the foot end, and four castors, but none of these are listed as standard supply. Ask the seller to itemise every supplied part, including castor diameter and braking arrangement.

Often not. MHRA guidance treats bed rails as equipment for people at risk of falling out of bed, not as a routine fitting, and it warns that people who try to climb over raised rails can fall from a greater height. In the UK, MHRA guidance (Bed rails: management and safe use) and National Patient Safety Alert NatPSA/2023/010/MHRA require an individual risk assessment before using any rail, with gap checks between rail, mattress, and boards, and planned maintenance with recorded inspections. For a mobile resident, the assessment will often conclude that the rails should stay down or be removed.

No power supply, motor or handset is listed, so the bed needs no socket and sits outside portable appliance testing. In the UK, it remains work equipment under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, which cover maintenance and staff training. With no height adjustment listed, the bed does not raise or lower the resident as a whole, and whether LOLER applies is a judgement for the duty holder's competent person.

IEC 80601-2-52:2026 is the current international standard for adult medical beds, and its scope includes manual beds with or without adjustable functions. Some declarations still cite IEC 60601-2-52:2009 with its 2015 amendment, so ask which edition the B-3 was tested against. A bed of this kind is typically Class I under UK MDR 2002, or higher depending on use; confirm against the declaration of conformity at order. Great Britain accepts CE-marked devices under transitional arrangements. At the same time, the MHRA consults on indefinite recognition, and a manufacturer outside the UK needs a UK Responsible Person for the GB market. Conformity requirements differ by destination market, and the seller confirms what applies where the unit is going.

Running cost sits in mechanical parts: two crank drives, the section pivots, the castors and any rails. There is no electrical testing and no actuator to replace. Ask the seller for a spares list with prices and lead times, and budget for rail inspections where rails are in use. The seller sets warranty terms at quotation.

It does not suit dependent patients who need frequent bedside care or assisted transfers, because the working height cannot change. 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. It is built for adults, and it should not be allocated to bariatric residents until a safe working load is published. Residents too short to stand safely from its height, those at high risk of falling from bed, and those needing head-down tilt all need different equipment.
