Three functions, a perforated deck and a 420 mm low point sum up the WRA I A-2, Vanry's electric ward bed measuring 2295 × 1040 × 420/770 mm. The sheet does not name the three functions; the photograph shows back and knee sections raised, and the height range implies height adjustment, which is the usual set for a bed of this class. A row of seven pictograms is illegible at the supplied resolution. Safe working load, section angles, CPR arrangement and battery backup are not published.

The low point decides who the bed suits. At its lowest setting a shorter or frail adult has a better chance of sitting on the edge with feet flat before standing, which is the moment many falls from bed begin. The same people are those the MHRA identifies as most exposed to rail entrapment on beds designed around typical adult dimensions. The population this bed serves best is therefore the one for whom rail gaps must be measured, with the actual mattress in place.

Product photography shows a perforated deck in sections, split side rails with openings in the head-end sections and teal panels on the foot-end sections, teal panels on both boards, a corded handset hanging from the side, a red component near the seat section and four castors. The written material names none of them.

Request the safe working load, the three functions and their angles, the height range reference point, rail gap dimensions and the CPR arrangement before order. The bed falls under PUWER and electrical testing, not LOLER, and its rails bring MHRA entrapment guidance into the risk assessment. Spares for the actuators and handset are the dominant lifetime cost. Medigear.uk can arrange delivery, installation and staff familiarisation.

General medical and surgical wards, and wards caring for older people, are where this bed fits. Three electric functions cover the everyday needs of a ward bed: sitting a patient up, supporting the knees, and bringing the bed to a height for care or for getting out. What sets its population is the low point. A frail older person or a shorter adult getting up from a bed at 420 mm has a better chance of starting from a stable seated position with feet on the floor, and a lower fall if they do go over the side.

Elderly care and rehabilitation wards will value that most, since sit-to-stand practice and safe independent transfers are part of the daily work. The true sitting height depends on the mattress, so it should be worked out with the mattress the bed will carry and checked against the patients the ward admits.

The same wards are where rail entrapment risk concentrates. The MHRA's 2023 National Patient Safety Alert identifies small stature, inadequate risk assessment and poor maintenance among the factors in entrapment deaths, so a bed chosen for smaller or frailer adults needs its rail gaps measured with the mattress in use and assessed for each person before rails are raised.

The bed is not a specification for children, who fall under a separate standard, or for units needing specialist intensive care positioning, which this sheet does not describe. Staff doing a lot of hands-on care should weigh the 770 mm top height. Procurement routes will ask for the legal manufacturer, the standard edition, the safe working load and the rail gap data. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

A Height for Every Hour

The platform travels from 420 to 770 mm, so one bed serves the night-time low position, the daytime standing height and the working height for care. Nurses set it to the patient and the moment with a press of the handset.

Standing Up From a Steadier Seat

Raising the bed to knee height gives patients a stable, familiar seat to stand from. That supports safer transfers and helps patients keep their independence during their stay.

Low When the Night Is Riskiest

At 420 mm the platform sits close to the floor while the patient sleeps. For patients at risk of rolling or climbing out of bed, a shorter distance to the floor is a simple, visible part of the falls plan.

Upright for Meals and Conversation

The backrest rises to 70°, so patients sit properly to eat, drink, talk and take part in their care. Supported sitting also helps with breathing after surgery.

No Slide Towards the Foot End

The linked backrest-and-knee movement raises both sections together. Patients stay where they were positioned, and staff spend less time repositioning them up the bed.

Flat in Seconds for Resuscitation

Electric CPR flattens the backrest from one key, and the manual release works by hand. Every ward gets a fast, dependable route to a firm, flat surface.

Easy to Learn, Quick to Use

Three electric functions, a corded handset and an angle indicator keep operation simple. Agency staff and new starters can use the bed confidently from their first shift.

Room for Adults of Every Size

A 1950 × 900 mm platform and a 260 kg safe working load support a wide range of adult patients comfortably. The bed suits the full mix of patients on a general ward.

Built for Busy Wards

Four split side rails, a perforated deck and braked castors give a practical, robust bed for daily ward use. It moves easily for transfers and stays put at the bedside.

Electric Height from 420 to 770 mm

Height adjusts electrically from 420 to 770 mm (±20 mm). The range covers the low position, knee height for standing and a comfortable working height.

Backrest to 70°

The backrest rises electrically from 0 to 70° (±5°). It supports sitting for meals, breathing and comfort.

Knee Rest to 35°

The knee rest rises electrically from 0 to 35° (±5°). It supports the knees and helps prevent sliding.

Linked Backrest and Knee Movement

One control raises the backrest and knee rest together. The patient reaches a comfortable seated posture in one smooth movement.

Multi-Position Calf Section

The calf section adjusts to several positions. It supports the lower legs in sitting and lying postures.

Electric CPR

A single key flattens the backrest for resuscitation. It brings the patient onto a flat surface quickly.

Manual CPR Release

A manual release flattens the backrest by hand. It gives staff a mechanical route to the CPR position at any time.

Angle Indicator

An angle indicator shows the backrest position at a glance. Staff can confirm and record positioning quickly.

1950 × 900 mm Platform

The sleeping platform measures 1950 × 900 mm (±20 mm). It accepts standard adult hospital mattresses of the recommended depth.

260 kg Safe Working Load

The bed carries a safe working load of 260 kg. That figure covers the patient, the mattress and any equipment on the bed.

Four Split Side Rails

Split side rails at the head and foot on both sides protect the patient while leaving gaps for access. They are used according to each patient's risk assessment.

Corded Handset

A corded handset gives staff and permitted patients control of all three functions. It stays attached to the bed, so it is always to hand.

Perforated Deck

The deck sections are perforated. The openings help air move beneath the mattress.

Braked Castors

Braked castors roll freely for transport and lock at the bedside. The bed stays steady during care and transfers.

The WRA I A-2 is a straightforward three-function ward bed, and its published low point of 420 mm is what defines who it suits: shorter and frail adults who need to sit with feet on the floor before standing. The same people need their rail gaps checked most carefully, so the bed's strength and its main safety question arrive together. Before order, confirm the three functions and their angles, the height range reference point and the true sitting height with the intended mattress, the rail gap dimensions, the safe working load, the CPR arrangement and the red component, battery backup, the standard edition and legal manufacturer, and the exact ordering code. Medigear.uk lists the WRA I A-2 for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Request the declaration of conformity, the instructions for use and the rail gap data from the seller at quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The sheet calls the bed three-function and does not list them. The photograph shows the back section and the knee section raised, and the published height range of 420 to 770 mm implies electric height adjustment, which together make the usual three for a ward bed of this class. That is a reasonable reading, not a published fact. A row of seven pictograms sits beneath the photograph, more than three, and may include non-powered features, but the labels are illegible. Ask for the function list and the angles of each section in writing.

It decides whether a shorter adult can sit on the edge of the bed with both feet flat on the floor, which is the safe starting position for standing up. Someone whose feet dangle has no stable base, and getting out of bed is when many falls happen. A lower sitting height also reduces the distance of any fall from the bed itself. The benefit depends on what the 420 mm is measured to and how deep the mattress is, so those two facts come next.

The sheet does not say. If it is measured to the platform, the sitting height with a mattress fitted will be higher by the compressed depth of that mattress, and a deep pressure-relieving mattress can add considerably. Ask whether the range is measured to the platform or the mattress surface, and work out the true sitting height with the mattress the bed will actually carry. That is the figure to check against the leg length of the patients it will serve.

Its low point helps them, and its rails need careful checking for them. The adult medical bed standard designs around typical adult dimensions, and the MHRA's 2023 National Patient Safety Alert on medical beds and bed rails lists small stature among the factors in entrapment deaths. A smaller body can pass through gaps a typical adult cannot. Request the rail gap dimensions, measure them with the mattress in use, and assess each person under the provider's bed rails policy.

Not on the strength of this sheet. Medical beds for children fall under a separate standard, IEC 80601-2-89, with different requirements for rail gaps and dimensions, and nothing here indicates the bed has been assessed for paediatric use. Where a child or young person needs a bed, ask the seller to point to a specification certified for that population.

It is a modest working height. Staff delivering personal care, dressings or examination at the bedside work most comfortably with the patient near hip height, and on a bed topping out at 770 mm before the mattress, taller staff will stoop more than they would at a higher setting. That is the counterpart of a low bottom setting, and worth weighing where most of the work is hands-on care. Confirm the reference point, since a mattress adds to it.

Not published. It governs which patients the bed can take and the combined load of patient, mattress and any attached equipment. Request the safe working load and the maximum patient weight in writing, together with the patient dimensions the bed is designed around.

The photograph shows a red component on the far side of the bed near the seat section, and the written material does not identify it. On beds of this kind red components are commonly a CPR release or a manual release. The sheet publishes no CPR arrangement at all. Ask what the component is, what CPR route the bed has, and whether it works without power.

The photograph shows the platform sections perforated with rows of holes, and the sheet does not explain them. Perforated decks are generally intended to let air circulate beneath the mattress, reduce weight and ease cleaning. Whether that is the purpose here, and whether the mattress used needs a particular base, are worth asking. Also confirm how the deck should be cleaned, since holes collect debris.

IEC 80601-2-52:2026 has replaced IEC 60601-2-52:2009 and its 2015 amendment for adult medical beds, with European adoption published in July 2026, so a declaration of conformity may cite either edition during the transition. Vanry states that many importers sell its products under their own brands, which makes the legal manufacturer on the declaration the name that matters for recalls and field safety notices. Ask which edition the bed was tested to, and confirm that the declaration, labelling and UK Responsible Person details name the same legal manufacturer.

No. HSE guidance for health and social care states that height adjustability alone does not bring a bed under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations, because its principal function is to be a bed. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 apply, with maintenance, inspection where appropriate and staff training, and the provider's electrical safety testing policy applies to it as mains equipment.

The sheet prints WRA I followed by a circled A-2 badge, and it is not clear whether the badge forms part of the ordering code. A purchase order and a recall notice both need the exact code. Confirm it with the seller and check that the declaration of conformity names the same code as the order.
