WARNING:
Warning—Use extreme caution when you service the IntelliDrive® Transport System. Whenever you
measure voltages or make adjustments to the handle signals, we suggest that you take the bed out of
2
the steer position, which will prevent the bed from moving. Squeeze and release the enable switches to
make sure the transport system is awake. Failure to do so could cause injury or equipment damage.
ENABLE SWITCHES
The enable switches are installed in the handles at the handle grip. If either switch is depressed, while
force is applied to the handles, the bed will move. If the handles are pushed towards the patient, the
bed will move forward. If the handles are pulled away from the patient, the bed will move backwards. To
check the enable switches, first get access to the power drive box (see “IntelliDrive® Transport System
Components—Replacement” on page 4-101), and make sure both enable switches are connected to
the DCB at P14 and P15. The switches are connected in parallel, or combined on the DCB. These voltages
will be monitored on a working system.
• P14.1, 2.8 to 3.3 V
• P14.2, 0 to 0.7 V when the switch is opened
• P14.2, 2.8 to 3.3 V when the switch is depressed or closed
If you suspect a switch is not working correctly, you can disconnect the switches at P14 and P15, and use
a meter to measure switch continuity from the end of the switch cable. A working switch will close only
when the switch is depressed. If it is always opened, or always closed, the switch or cable is defective. In
either case, replace the handle assembly. The bed will operate if only one switch functions. You can
disconnect the defective switch from the DCB and verify the power drive system operates when you use
the working switch.
If there is not a voltage of 2.8 to 3.3 V at P14.1, verify the battery voltage or the battery charging voltage
is present. The battery voltage can be measured at P4.1. This voltage will be greater than 24 V when the
bed is plugged into the AC wall outlet. When the bed is unplugged from the AC outlet, the battery
voltage at P4.1 will be greater than 22 V, if the batteries are charged. If no voltage is present, or the
battery voltage is low, make sure power drive batteries and fuse are in good condition.
THROTTLE DEBUGGING
The base part of the handle that connects to the frame contains a strain element that provides an
output signal proportional to the force applied to the handle. The handles are very similar to the load
beams used in the scale system. The DCB amplifies this signal and provides an output to the motor
controller.
Verify the output signal is correct at P2.1. P2.2 is used as a ground reference for measuring signals. When
no force is applied to the handle, the output signal should measure 2.4 V to 2.6 V DC. The voltage output
can be adjusted by turning potentiometer R57 until the output signal measures 2.5 V. When either
handle is pushed, the output signal will increase until it reaches 4.0 V to 4.5 V. When either handle is
pulled, the output signal will decrease until it reaches 0.5 V to 1.5 V. This indicates the throttle circuit is
operating correctly.
Before you make any adjustments, verify the excitation voltages. The excitation voltage at P1.5 will
measure 10 to 12 V on a working system. If no voltage is present, or the battery voltage is low, make sure
the power drive batteries and fuse are in good condition.
Also, the signal voltages at P1.3, P1.4, P 6.3, and P6.4 will be approximately ½ the voltage measured at
P1.5. These are the green and white wires on the handle connectors P1 and P6. If the excitation voltage
is lower than 10 V, disconnect the connectors P1 and P5 one at a time to see if the voltage comes into
range. If this occurs, one of the handles is probably damaged and needs to be replaced. If the voltage
never comes into range, replace the DCB.
If the output voltage at P2.1 can not be adjusted to within 2.4 V to 2.6 V using the potentiometer R57,
with no force applied to the handles, the strain element may be damaged. The bed will operate with a
single handle after the output is adjusted. To check the handles, disconnect one of the handles and see
if R57 can be adjusted so the output signal is 2.5 V. The handle that will not allow adjustment of the
potentiometer to bring the output signal to 2.5 V is the damaged handle. Replace the damaged handle,
and calibrate the system (see “IntelliDrive® Transport System Components—Replacement” on page 4-
101).

MECHANICAL SYSTEM
The mechanical subsystem includes these connected systems:
• Lower Frame Module
• Upper Frame Module
• User Interface Module
• End Panel Module
Base Frame
The base frame module includes the base frame, casters, brake and steer components, night light, and if
equipped, Obstacle Detect® System components. The base frame also provides a mounting location for
the powered transport system and the two lift arms.
The base frame provides mounting locations for these:
Wide extension, headboard, patient helper, Experience Pod® Device, manual or powered transport
push handles, IV pole, head-end bumpers, traction frame, BCB, power supply, bed batteries,
auxiliary outlet and its AC inlet connector, bed mains AC inlet connector, sip-n-puff connector,
SideCom® 37-pin connector, brake/steer, powered transport, 5th wheel steer, night light, and
shipping brace.
The brake and steer components include user interfaces on both sides of the product at the head and
foot ends. Operating the brake/steer system from any of the user interfaces will articulate the entire
brake/steer system.
The brake/steer system contains four casters and caster sockets, two full brake/steer pedals, two half
brake/steer pedals, two torque tubes, brake/steer link assembly, brake/steer limit switch cam, and
brake/steer limit switch mounting bracket. This system has two brake and two steer casters as standard,
th
or has four brake casters when either the powered transport or 5 wheel steer option is present. The
brake caster on the patient-right, head end is an ESD caster.
th
The optional 5 wheel steer mechanism has a spring arm that is always in contact with the floor. The
spring arm rotates freely when the brake/steer mechanism is in brake or neutral. When the brake/steer
mechanism is put into the steer position, the mechanical cable connected to the brake/steer link pulls
th
the 5 wheel rotational latch into the lock position. The spring arm can lock into one of two positions in
line with the frame of the bed once the rotational latch is in the lock position. When locked, the spring
arm will not rotate, providing a fixed point of reference to steer the bed. Putting the brake/steer pedal
into the neutral or brake position releases the rotational lock, allowing the spring arm to rotate freely
again.
The auxiliary outlet option provides a US-style duplex AC outlet with over-current protection. The
option includes a mounting bracket, outlet box, hospital-grade duplex receptacle, circuit breaker,
faceplate, gasket, faceplate cover, AC mains inlet receptacle, and related wiring. The outlet box holds the
duplex receptacle, circuit breaker, and related wiring connections.
The bed electronics, such as the batteries and power supply, are attached to the base frame and
enclosed by shrouds.
Intermediate Frame
The intermediate frame provides mounting for the hilow actuators, lift arms, WatchCare® reader, and
SideCom® enclosure. The intermediate frame supports the upper frame at the corners via the load beam
blocks. The intermediate frame tolerance and stiffness limits the amount of out of plane deflection at
the load beam blocks to support the scale function.
The system contains two identical lift arms pinned to the Intermediate frame and driven by identical
8000N hilow actuators. The foot lift arm is anchored to the base frame by a pair of ground links so that
when the upper frame is put into trend or reverse trend, the head end of the upper frame moves in an
arc away from the head end of the base frame.
The intermediate frame provides secure mounting locations for various electrical cables. The main
electrical cable from the base enclosure passes up the head lift arm, along the intermediate frame to the
upper frame, and on to the MCB. A number of cables cross from the intermediate frame to the upper
frame. A secure mounting location is provided for a custom cable clamp (198789) where these cables
cross. This transition is extremely important to the scale function as any mechanical forces carried across
this boundary affect scale accuracy.

way that it remains perpendicular to the foot section. The foot panel can be removed in a single step
without the use of tools. The foot panel's intended functions are to—
• Support the bottoms of the patient's feet in the chair and bed modes to prevent foot drop.
• Provide support for the patient to adjust his/her position.
• Provide grip areas for caregivers to use during transport.
• Keep the patient from slipping off the foot end.
• Help prevent unauthorized patient exit from the foot end.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MCB
The MCB is the main board for the Centrella® Smart+ Bed. It serves as the interface to numerous boards
and as a carrier board to a SOM, which extends the overall functionality of bed. The MCB is located in the
head most section of the intermediate frame.
The functionality of the MCB can be divided into the following functions, which are further detailed
below (also see “MCB Block Diagram” on page 3-4):
• Processors
• Motor control
• Scale
• WatchCare® System
• Power regulators
• Bed status sensors
• Board interfaces
• Audio
Processors
There are two processors that are directly or indirectly on the MCB.
The first is the microcontroller unit (MCU) for the MCB. This is the main logical controller of the board
and houses logic to control the scale, motors, diagnostics, and power to some peripheral boards and
modules like the SOM, SafeView®, caregiver and patient controls, DCB, and pendant. The MCU is a CAN
node, so the MCU is able to communicate directly with other CAN nodes.
The other processor is the system-on-module (SOM). The SOM is an optional board to be used on some
bed configurations. The SOM can drive the third speaker and communicate to outside networks and
peripherals via Bluetooth and WiFi.
two error status pins that are sent back as inputs to the MCU so that faults in both the motor controller
IC and overcurrent conditions can be detected. The controller has built-in dead time to assure there is
never a short between VMOT and ground. The H-bridge is a standard H-bridge topology with N-channel
FETs used as switches. The overcurrent detection circuit is a current-to-voltage transducer that makes
use of a low-resistance sense resistor (shunt) that is in-line with the H-bridge. The induced voltage
across the shunt is amplified by a difference amplifier, which is run into a comparator that has its
reference tuned to produce a high output when the current in the shunt exceeds a unfavorable current
for each motor. The output of the comparator is run to the input of a S/R latch, so the condition can be
latched in until reset by the MCU. This output also is ANDed to the enable line of the motor controller so
the motor controller can not be truly enabled by the MCU until the latched condition is reset. The
topology of the motor control circuitry is copied for each motor.
While not always used, all six motors have an interface to accept a potentiometer as positional
feedback. In addition, all motors except the head motor have the option to use encoder style positional
feedback. Finally, the foot motor is unique in that it has the ability to read the status of a switch that
3
indicates a half-way point.
Scale
The scale system is mostly comprised of a 24-bit A/D that digitizes the ratiometric output of the load
beams, which are plugged in directly to the MCB. The MCB has a dedicated 5 V supply that provides the
power input to the load beams and analog-to-digital converter. In this fashion, any voltage fluctuations
in the regulator are common to both the sensor (and thus its output) and the A/D reference. The
regulator is current-limiting so if the wires or connectors of the load beams are shorted, the regulator
will fold back and prevent any thermal excursions.
Samples are taken by the A/D, which are read by the MCU via SPI (serial) interface to the A/D. The
samples are read and averaged. Calibration constants, which are calculated during a scale calibration
routine, are applied to get the load each load beam “sees” in pounds or kilograms, which are in-turn
used by the scale and Bed Exit features.
A third interface is necessary for the implementation of the WatchCare® System. The third speaker,
which connects to J2 on the MCB, is where the .WAV file for the WatchCare® beep is played.
Power Regulators
In addition to the scale system regulator mentioned above, the MCB has an additional five regulators to
provide various rail voltages for circuitry around the board. U33 is an 8.25 V switching power supply that
acts as a step-down for the scale regulator, the 3.3 V regulator, and the 5.0 V linear regulator. U33 also
powers the piezo buzzer. U32 is a linear regulator that provides a 3.3 V rail to numerous circuits on the
board. U31 is also a linear regulator, in parallel with U32, that provides a 5.0 V rail to numerous circuits
on the board and modules that interface to the board (see “Board Interfaces” on page 3-6). All of these
regulators are on by default and are not under software or MCU control.
U30 is a dedicated 5 V switching supply for the SOM which provides switched 5 V through a low-side P-
chan FET to the dedicated 3.3 V linear supply (U34) for the SOM. The P-chan FET is switched by the MCU
so it can conditionally turn on power to the SOM.
Board Interfaces
As seen in the block diagram above, the MCB interfaces to many different modules.
• SOM—the SOM is interfaced directly to the MCB via a DIMM style connector. A UART
communication channel, as well as power and reset, is provided. As discussed above, the MCU
on the MCB can optionally assert/deassert power to the SOM and reset it when needed.
• SCB—the SCB is provided CAN, I2S, and a 5 V and 28 V rail.
• Pendant—the pendant is provided SPI and a 5 V rail.
• ACB or blower board—the ACB or blower board is provided a 28 V pass-through connection
from the BCB and a CAN bus interface.
• BCB—the BCB provides 28 V logic, 28 V Vmot, and 28 V for the ACB. These are inputs to the MCB
for power and logic on the board, the motor, and the pass-through to the ACB. Also included
are two SPI channels that are used to control and monitor ICs on the BCB, as well as interface to
the Experience Pod® Device module.
• DCB—the DCB is provided CAN and 28 V. There is also a pin on the connector to sense the
presence of the DCB module.
• SafeView®2 Control P.C. Board—the SafeView® board is provided 28 V and SPI.
• Head connector—the head connector, J5, interfaces to many boards and signals:
– Head siderail switches (see “Bed Status Sensors” on page 3-6)
– CPR switches (see “Bed Status Sensors” on page 3-6)
– 28 V and CAN for the HFBs and GCIs
• EarlySense—the EarlySense® module is provided a 5 V interface, as well as a RS232 serial
interface.
• WatchCare® module via the USB communications port
Audio
There are two functional blocks that can produce audio. The first is an interface to the “third speaker,”
3
which includes an amplifier to amplify the line-level output from the SOM to speaker-level that
connects to J2. The second interface is a simple piezo buzzer that is located on-board. Both the SOM and
the MCU can drive the piezo directly and independent of one another.
BCB
The BCB supplies these functions:
• Power
– MCB connection
– Power supply connection
– Power source switching
• Battery charger
• Night light control
• Sip-n-puff connection
• Experience Pod® Device connection
• Brake switch monitoring
• Obstacle detection
NOTE:
The 750 W and 900 W power supplies were obsoleted after bed serial number U115PF7899. These beds
have a common 28 V supply which is compatible with all beds before U115PF7899.
Power Switching
Power switching is accomplished via relays that have control circuits that are interlocked so only one
source can provide power at any time. Additionally, the motors have a dedicated relay to select between
battery or AC/DC supply.
Battery Charging
The battery charger is an integrated charger that maintains the life and health of the batteries. It is
autonomous and requires no maintenance. It has four stages:
• Trickle charge—for deeply discharged batteries, the charger will trickle charge to a safe level
before performing bulk charging.
• Bulk charge—this is most of the charging service.
• Boost charge—this is a cell maintenance phase to top off the cells using a boosted voltage.
• Float—this is not a charge, but a monitoring phase. The batteries are at or near full charge when
in this phase.
Night Light
The night light has Off and four brightness levels commanded from the MCB, but implemented in the
BCB through the SPI bus.
Sip-n-Puff
The sip-n-puff is the auxiliary Nurse Call connection. When a device is plugged into the sip-n-puff port
at the head of bed, this circuit converts contact closures to signals on the SPI bus.
Brake Monitor
The brake monitor converts the switch inputs from the brake actuator to signals read across the SPI bus.
SAFEVIEW®+ ALERTS
Overview
The SafeView®+ Alerts system lights up foot-end, front facing indicators and floor projections using
LEDs. Which LED(s) are lit is at the command of the MCB through an SPI communications bus.
Different color LEDs are lit up depending on the state of the indicator to be shown: green for normal and
amber for an active indication requiring Caregiver intervention. There is a blue Bed Exit color indication
when Bed Exit has been deactivated. Other LED colors are used for Heart and Respiration Rate
Monitoring: green indicates that the monitoring is active, flashing yellow indicates that a heart or
respiration rate measurement is outside the set thresholds, solid amber indicates that an active heart or
respiration rate alarm is silenced, and white indicates that the system is On, but either the patient is not
in the bed or the system can not detect the patient’s HR/RR.
The LEDs used for the floor projections are of the high-power type. These use a current regulator chip
for drive to assure accuracy in brightness. These LEDs also produce a considerable amount of heat,
dissipating up to 1.5 watts of heat, each. Therefore, special steps were taken in the P.C. board design to
transfer the heat from the top-side of the P.C. board to the bottom side, then transfer that heat from the
backside of the P.C. board with a thermal pad to the metal foot rail itself.
The brightness of the floor projection LEDs is adjustable. For brightness control, the current regulator
3
chip has an analog voltage adjustment input that is translated internally to a PWM duty cycle of the
fixed (500 mA) current at the output. The analog intensity adjustment voltage is governed by a Digital-
to-Analog converter, also controlled by the MCB.
Fault Detection
The SafeView®+ Alerts system is also a safety element, showing high level status information to the
Caregiver. With that safety element there is risk if the status information provided is incorrect. Therefore,
the system also contains error detection logic.
The primary fault for an LED is one that burns out and becomes an open circuit (similar to a light bulb).
Logic detectors are contained in the system’s circuitry to detect if an LED that is supposed to be on is an
open circuit. If an LED fault is detected, an error status bit is set, sent via the SPI MISO to the MCB, and an
error is shown on the GCI.
A second common fault is the corruption of the SPI MOSI command sent from the MCB. This corruption
can be due to many things, including EMI, EMC, ESD, and others. Therefore, an SPI MOSI command error
must be detected. To do this, the MOSI command is fed back to the MCB via the MISO bit stream. The
microprocessor in the MCB simply verifies the control data sent is received back correctly. If it is not
received back correctly, the same command data is repeated up to 10 times. After failing a correct
command message after 10 tries, a new command message is sent to shut off all SafeView®+ Alert lights.
The software will repeat the OFF message until the interference clears and a valid return message is
received, then turn the LEDs back on to the correct setting.
HFB
The HFB is housed within the head siderail of the bed. There is a left and right version which are mirror
images of one another. Electrically, they are very similar.
The HFB is primarily responsible for showing the discrete user interface (UI) information (LED indicators)
on the caregiver and patient membrane overlay panels. The HFB also controls the siderail light strips for
the IllumiGuide® Siderail Handgrip which can generate amber and blue indications. The HFB is also
responsible for detecting a pressed switch on one of the UI’s membrane overlay panels.
In addition to the indicator outputs and switch inputs, the HFB also houses the ambient light sensor.
This signal is used by software to dim various indicators on the bed. These dimmable indicators include
the siderail light strips.
The HFB right (HFB-R) also features an option for a USB charger. This charger offers a Type A USB
connector such that patient supplied charging cords can be used. The charging port supports 170 mA
up to 2.4 A of current and is compatible with many portable USB devices. P/N 207608 is HFB-R with USB,
207609 is HFB-R without USB, and 207611 is an HFB-L. 207609 uses the same bare board as 207608 and
does not populate the USB charging circuits.
The GCI touchscreen panel is also connected through the HFB. The GCI receives DC power and the CAN
bus from the HFB.
Several optional interfaces exist with the HFB design. These are currently not populated and include an
NFC radio and RFID interface.
The heart of the HFB is a micro-processor that communicates with the bed using CAN bus. The HFB also
acts as the HW termination for the CAN bus. All LED indicators and switch inputs terminate into this
processor. Dimming of the various indicators uses pulse width modulation (PWM) channels within the
processor. The USB charging circuit uses a medically isolated switch mode power supply along with a
USB DCP controller to emulate the various charging modes for these USB devices.
The HFB receives 28 V DC power from the bed. The 28 V DC is converted into 3.3 V and 5.5 V using switch
mode power converters.
Many of the articulation switches on the caregiver membrane panel will cause a bed Wake-Up event.
When the bed is unplugged from AC power, the bed shuts down when idle to conserver battery power.
Pressing any articulation control on the caregiver panel will wake up the bed. The Nurse Call controls
also can wake up the bed.
Solid State relays are used to implement contact closure control for Nurse Call, Bed Exit, room lighting,
radio, and standard television, while the on-bed television volume control uses mechanical relays. The
UTV (Universal Television) digital command interface is provided by a high-speed optocoupler, with the
Nurse Call Bed Status implemented via the traditional current loop SPI optocouplers.
The SideCom® Communication System has 3 electrical cable connections: power and communications
cable to and from the MCB, speaker and microphone audio cable to and from the head siderails, and the
37-pin cable interface. The standard 37-pin male D-Sub connector bed interface is provided for via a
cable from the communication system module in the intermediate frame to the base frame located near
the AC inlet and sip-n-puff connectors.
3
The user interface Pod is located at the top of the right-side push handle. The Pod has a green LED to
indicate the transport deployment status and a four segment LED bar graph to show the transport
battery capacity and fault status. Each segment represents approximately 25% of the battery capacity. A
single flashing LED indicates the transport battery is low and needs to be charged. The four LEDs are lit
in a scrolling pattern when the bed is plugged in and the batteries are charging. The four LEDs flashing
at the same time indicate a transport system fault.
Push Handles
The push handles incorporate strain gauge elements to sense the force applied by a caregiver in either a
forward or reverse direction. The strain gauges are connected to the DCB. Each push handle also
incorporates an enable switch. The enable switches are connected to the DCB.
DCB
The DCB is a printed circuit board that supplies these functions:
• Push handle circuitry
• Battery charger
• Deployment control
• Enable switch logic and control
• Battery shut-off
Battery Charger
The battery charger operates from the main regulated 28 V DC power supply whenever the bed is
plugged in. This charger has three modes of operation: trickle charge, bulk charge, and float charge.
The trickle charge mode produces a low current to bring the battery voltage up to 22.5 V. In the event a
battery has a defective cell, this low level current will not produce a hazardous situation. If the battery is
capable of taking a charge, its voltage will eventually come up to 22.5 V. (If the battery has been deeply
discharged, this may take several days.) Once the voltage is above the trickle threshold, the charger
circuit changes to mode 2. In this mode, bulk charging occurs during which current is limited to a
constant level, approximately 800 mA. The charger stays in this mode until the battery voltage is
approximately 29 to 30 V. At this point the current slowly drops off as the battery nears full charge, and
the charger enters mode 3, the float charge mode. In this mode, the charger output drops to 27.8 V to
keep the battery topped off.
Deployment Control
The transport system is deployed by putting the brake pedal into the steer position and unplugging the
bed. The linear actuator is then extended to its limit, forcing the wheel to the floor. When fully deployed
the system is ready to drive, as indicated by the wheel indicator on the Pod coming on steady.
If the brake pedal is taken out of the steer position, or the bed is plugged in, the linear actuator retracts,
lifting the wheel off the floor. While retracted, the wheel is prevented from driving.
The DCB employs enable switch fault protection. If the enable switch is activated while the pedal is
transitioning to the steer position, an enable switch fault is detected. This causes the Pod battery status
LEDs to flash and will not allow the transport system to deploy or drive. This fault is cleared by releasing
the enable switch. All of this control circuitry is located on the DCB.
Battery Shut-Off
A fifteen-minute timer is employed to help conserve battery power. If the bed is unplugged and inactive
(the enable switches are not engaged) for approximately fifteen minutes, the transport system will go to
sleep, turning off all its indicators. It will wake up if the enable switches are activated, the brake pedal is
transitioned to steer, or the bed is plugged in.
Drive Motor
The drive motor is a 24 V DC, 850 W, insulation class H, permanent magnet gear motor, rated for
continuous duty.
Motor Controller
The motor controller is an electronic module that provides these functions:
• Motor speed control
• Battery charge gauge
• Fault detection
Overview
The Experience Pod® Device electronics provide an integral USB/PED charger port for the patient.
Models P7926A03 through P7926A06 also provide these three functions:
• A pendant (handheld remote) function that is on the back side of the pod housing assembly
• A patient reading light
• A touch sensor control for the reading light
Figure 3-2. Experience Pod® Device Block Diagram (Note: the right-side block does not apply to
the P7926A07)
NOTE:
The HR/RR monitoring sensing unit (sensor) connects to the MCB, but communicates directly from the
SOM.
The default heart rate (HR) threshold is set to 40 BPM for the low setting and 130 BPM for the high
setting. The default respiration rate (RR) threshold is set to 8 breaths per minute for the low setting and
32 breaths per minute for the high setting.
NOTE:
The system detects a heart rate that is greater than 1.8 times of the respiration rate.
The total system accuracy including undetected signals is 90% for HR and RR. The total system accuracy
was measured as +/- 10% of the predicate device.
The system design allows the operator to adjust the settings of the threshold parameters or other
parameters, as available in the specifically installed software. The user can adjust the alarm thresholds
for heart and respiration rate and to notify the caregiver when the heart or respiration rate, averaged
over time, exceeds the set thresholds.
Through the Heart and Respiration Rate Monitoring menu, a user can do these:
• Adjust the thresholds within the default threshold range.
• Adjust the alarm volume.
• Turn the monitoring On and Off.
• See the sensor’s expiration date.
Through the Heart and Respiration Rate Monitoring menu, a facility-authorized service person can do
these:
• Change the alarm tone.
• Change the default alarm thresholds.

• Turn the “out-room” alarm On and Off.
CORE MATTRESS
The core mattress consists of a top and bottom cover, a foam core with side bolsters, a foam foot section
that can extend and retract, and a fire barrier. The core mattress supports the patient and provides
therapeutic benefit as well as comfort.
The mattress subsystem is solely a foam mattress. It supports the patient via the foam core, foam crib,
and heel foam. This mattress provides therapeutic benefit by reducing interface pressure.
The foam core section of the mattress provides support for the patient's head, shoulders, back, seat, and
thigh sections. This section of the mattress provides low interface pressure while also accommodating a
wide range of patient weights.
The foam crib section provides support to the patient as the patient gets in and out of bed, as well as
side sitting.
The foam foot section provides support for the patient’s calves and heels. Vertical oval cutouts allow the
foam to extend and retract.
PRO MATTRESS
The pro mattress consists of a top and bottom cover, a foam core with side bolsters, a foam filled bladder
system, a foam foot section that can extend and retract, and a fire barrier. The pro mattress is a non-
powered dynamic air mattress that supports the patient and provides therapeutic benefit as well as
patient comfort.
The pro mattress supports the patient via one layer of viscoelastic foam, one layer of conventional foam,
self-adjusting foam filled bladders in the head and seat sections, and a foam foot section. The foam core
section provides support for the patient's head, shoulders, back, seat, and thigh sections. This section
aids in patient comfort as well as reducing interface pressure
The stiff side bolsters of the foam crib provide support to the patient as the patient gets in and out of
bed, as well as side sitting.
The foam filled support bladder assembly contains eight bladders (foam bladders). The assembly
provides support for the patient's head, back, seat, and thigh sections. There are two types of foam
configurations inside the foam bladders which are different indention load deflections (ILDs) to help
with patient comfort and reduce interface pressure. Both of the foam bladder configurations are made
of two layers of conventional foam. The foam bladders help to reduce interface pressure and make sure
the patient does not bottom out.
A port is at each end of the bladder. On one end of the bladder there is a check valve in the port. This
check valve opens and closes when pressure is applied to it. This makes the bladder assembly self-
adjusting. On the other end of the bladder, the tubing assembly is connected to the port. At the end of
the tubing assembly there is a check valve that lets air release from the bladders. The tubing assembly is
routed in a straight line and connects all of the bladders together.
Support Mattress
The support mattress consists of a top cover, MCM layer, an optional x-ray sleeve, an inner core, a fire
barrier, and a bottom cover.
Top Cover
The top cover is the interface between the patient and the rest of the mattress. The breathable material
of the top cover allows moisture vapor to cross the membrane, but not water molecules. The top cover
has a 360° zipper(s) that connects to the mattress core.
MCM Layer
The MCM layer is an assembly of several parts that allows airflow through the assembly and underneath
the patient to remove heat and moisture from the skin-mattress interface. The MCM layer has a top layer
of 3-dimensional spacer material, a perforated panel to allow airflow beneath the patient, a bottom 3-
dimensional spacer material, and a bottom insulating panel that forces air through the top panel. The
MCM layer assembly also provides a means to connect to the pneumatic system so that air can flow
through the layer.
3
X-Ray Sleeve
The x-ray sleeve is an optional feature of the mattress that provides an easy to access area for the user to
place a standard x-ray cassette for in-bed x-rays. This region extends from the head section to the mid-
lower back region, allowing for in-bed chest and abdominal x-rays. The sleeve has two zippers, one on
each side of the mattress.
The top cover of configurations with this feature have logos above each access point to show where the
sleeve is.
Inner Core
The inner core is comprised of several subsystems, including the foam core, heel foam, and foam/air
bladder assembly. These subsystems work together to help provide patient comfort, optimal pressure
redistribution, and sufficient stability for activities of daily living.
• Foam Core—the foam core is comprised of a top layer of conventional high density foam, stiff
side bolsters, a knee bolster to improve side sitting stability and help during ingress/egress, and
a stiff head bolster.
• Heel Foam—the heel foam is a layer of soft foam that extends from the patient knee area down
to the foot end of the bed. The foam has a slight downward slope/contour that helps offload
pressure on the heels by supporting the calves of the patient. The heel foam also contains
several rows of punched holes which allow the foot section to retract and extend with the
frame.
• Foam/Air Bladder Assembly—the foam/air bladder assembly is beneath the top layer of the
foam core. The bladder assembly is comprised of several foam filled support bladders. The
bladders contain layered foam inside of a coated fabric that is welded shut so that it can build
up pressure inside of it without leaking. There is one port on either side of the bladder—an inlet
port and an outlet port. The ports have an anti-choke feature so they are not blocked during
product use. Each foam filled support bladder inlet port has a check valve that will only open at
a certain vacuum pressure to allow air back into the bladder. All the bladder outlet ports are
connected to a single outlet pathway on the other side, which contains two check valves, one at
each head and foot end of the assembly. These same valves are found on the inlets but
directionally reversed, which allows a buildup of pressure in the system before opening to
atmospheric pressure.
Fire Barrier
The fire barrier protects the mattress components from fire.
Bottom Cover
The bottom cover of the mattress is the interfacing sub-system between the mattress and the frame
deck. The bottom cover encases the internal components of the mattress and connects to the top cover
by a 360° zipper(s). The bottom cover has features on it to attach to the frame deck, aid in mattress
transport, and help to retain linens.
Pneumatic System
The pneumatic system contains the components that generate and control the airflow that is supplied
to the mattress. The pneumatic system has three subsystems:
• Electrical
• Pneumatic
• Mechanical
Electrical
The main electronic component inside the pneumatics enclosure is the blower board. The blower board
supplies the communication and controls for the DC blower and status indication. The blower board’s
main function is to monitor pressure inside the pneumatics enclosure and determine the blower speed
and diagnostics. The blower board contains one pressure transducer. See Figure on page 3-18 for the
blower board layout.
The blower board consists of 6 functional blocks:
• Microcontroller—this block contains the processor and its associated circuitry.
• Pressure transducer—this block contains the circuitry necessary for reading the blower output
pressure using SPI connections from the pressure sensor.
• Blower motor drive—this block contains the brushless DC motor control and interface.
• Controller area network (CAN)—this block contains the CAN network interface.
• User interface—this block contains four separate low side drivers to turn on light emitting
diode (LED) banks for the user interface to display if there is an error or if the blower board is
correctly functioning.
• Power supplies—this block contains the 24 V switching supply, 7 V switching supply, 5 V low-
dropout (LDO), and the 3.3 V LDO.
Direct current (DC) voltage is applied to the pneumatics enclosure by a cable from the Centrella® MCB.
The unit receives power as soon as the cable is connected to the MCB. 28 volt (V) +/-5% is applied to the
blower board and stepped down to 24 V through a step down converter on the blower board. See Table
3-1 on page 3-19 for the blower board connections.

Pneumatic
The pneumatic system is a closed loop system. A pressure transducer on the blower board monitors the
discharge pressure. The blower board adjusts the blower speed to maintain the discharge pressure
within a certain limit. The discharge pressure in the system is set for 0.25+/-0.1inH2O. The pressure
transducer is a differential pressure transducer which can measure both negative and positive pressure.
One input of the pressure transducer is connected to the atmosphere and the other end is open in the
chamber.
In addition to monitoring the discharge pressure and adjusting the speed, the blower board also
monitors the faults such as over temperature, over current, intake blockage, timeout (in the event of
failing to reach the set point pressure within a certain amount of time), and such. At any time, when
these faults occur, the blower board sends a signal to the user interface to indicate that the product has
a fault that needs service.
See Figure 3-3 on page 3-20 for the Centrella® integrated block diagram.
Pneumatic System Enclosure
The pneumatic system is a pressurized enclosure system that provides the necessary air flow for the
MCM® function. The system includes the power supply, an air source (blower), and blower board. The
system prevents the direct accessibility to electrical components without the aid of a tool.
The pneumatic system enclosure has two major compartments, the intake housing and the exhaust
housing.
• The intake housing provides the necessary air passage to allow the ambient air to enter into the
pneumatic system. There are two flexible hoses that connect the intake housing to the intake
vents on the patient-left and -right sides of the bottom cover. The blower mounts to the intake
housing, against a gasket, to seal the intake air passage from the discharge air passage.
• The exhaust housing provides the mounting locations for the various components of the
pneumatic system enclosure, with the exception of the blower. These include the blower board,
and cables. The exhaust housing connects directly to the MCM layer and provides an airflow
pathway.
Figure 3-3. pro+ Integrated Block Diagram
Mechanical
Intake Housing
The blower and blower gasket attach to the intake housing. There is also a cable retainment feature
molded into the housing to allow the blower cable to be routed correctly without interfering with part
assemblies.
The plenum cover is on the bottom of the intake housing.
Two foam pads are on the bottom of the intake housing. These keep the enclosure off the frame to
prevent damage during handling and minimize noise and vibration.
Exhaust Housing
The exhaust housing is the top of the pneumatic enclosure. The blower board, MCM connector, and DB9
connector are attached to this housing.
On the side of the housing where the frame connection cable connect, is a molded barb on the inside of
the housing, with access to the outside. A sense tube (70752) is routed from the pressure sensor on the
blower board to this barb, to monitor the pressure outside the box. This allows the system to detect
intake blockage.
The blower board controls the MCM® feature and the fault detection.
The DB9 connector mounts to the exhaust housing on the patient-left side of the mattress. The
connector connects the frame communication cable.

MAX MATTRESS
The max mattress supports the patient via an MCM layer, support bladder with head and seat zones,
and foam foot section. This mattress provides therapeutic benefit by optimizing pressure redistribution
as well as removal of heat and moisture from the patient's skin. The max mattress also provides a turn
assist function which allows the caregiver to do wound care checks and patient positioning with greater
ease.
The MCM layer includes a top fabric with high moisture vapor transmission (MVT), a spacer layer, and a
bottom fabric with low MVT. This provides a thin layer of support for the patient above the support
bladder.
• The spacer within this layer has some crush resistance which allows for dynamic air to pass
under the patient.
• Moisture vapor and heat from the patient passes through the top fabric where it can be
removed by the air flow.
• The top fabric has a series of holes in the seat section to direct air flow to the highest risk area
on the patient.
• Air flow enters at the thigh and exits at the head end of the mattress.
• The bottom fabric keeps the moisture vapor from entering the remaining parts of the mattress.
The support bladder section is a continuous bladder that supports the patient’s upper body from the
thigh to the head. The bladder maintains static air at a pressure suitable to support the patient over the
greatest practical area.
• The internal bladder pressure is determined based on patient weight and angle of head
elevation. Pressure is continuously monitored and automatically adjusted for changes in
patient position and head elevation.
• Bladder pressure can be adjusted by the user when necessary for patient comfort.
• Bladder pressure can be maximized to provide a stable surface when necessary for
repositioning the patient, lateral transfer of the patient, and CPR.
The foam foot section, which can extend and retract, provides support for the patient’s calves and heels.
A lateral bolster below the calf area extends the support for the patient to get in and out of the bed.
The turn assist feature includes a head assembly and seat assembly. These assemblies provide a means
of tilting the mattress laterally, and therefore the patient, to a given angle.
• The internal bladder pressure is determined based on patient weight.
• The internal bladder pressure will achieve a predetermined angle of turn.
• The turn assist feature can be placed on hold or stopped at any time during use.
The bottom cover provides an encasement that covers all internal components on the bottom and sides
of the mattress. The cover has two bellows, one in the head section and the other in the seat section,
that contain a portion of the turn assist plates. These bellows allow for increased turn angle without
putting stress on the top and bottom covers.
The bottom cover has an umbilical tube (sleeve) that fully covers the tube exit and interface connector
assembly. The interface connector assembly has a heel cover which snaps into the frame to protect the
fittings from any loads applied by the patient or caregivers.
The turn assist plates provide the means for the turn assist bladder to achieve enhanced turn
performance by distributing the load on the mattress across the entire width as well as moving the
pivot point of the turn to the outer most edge of the mattress.
• The mattress has two turn plates, one in the head section and the other in the seat section
(194490 and 194491).
• Each plate has three layers. The top layer during a left turn will solely support the weight of the
mattress and patient. The middle layer during a right turn shares the load with the top layer. The
bottom layer always remains flat and supported by the upper frame.
• The bottom plate is shorter in length and chamfered opposite the hinge to make assembly into
the bottom cover bellow easier.
• The head plate is slightly larger than the seat plate in the mattress length direction. This is
driven by seat and head pan space in the frame as well as support area needed for a patient on
the mattress.
The Turn Assist bladders turn the mattress to the left or the right. There are four bladders per mattress,
two head bladders and two seat bladders (194623 and 194624).
• The side-specific bladders operate at the same time and share the same air supply.
• Each bladder consists of two cells stacked on top of one another. This design allows the bladder
to match the shape of the bottom cover bellows where the bladder resides. The correct
assembly of the bladders into the bottom cover and on to turn plates is necessary so the
bottom cover can expand to allow full turn angle. If the bladder is not in the correct location, it
will cause the bottom cover to slow the turn bladder expansion and reach the pressure set
point too soon; this will reduce the achievable turn angle.
3
functions are controlled via the set point equations implemented in the software.
• Turn Assist—the module provides the pressurized air to inflate the turn assist bladders and
helps accelerate the deflation of the bladder by creating a passive suction in the bladders
during deflation. The required pressure is determined by the set point equations implemented
in the software.
The functional elements of the air deck module are:
• Air source (blower)
• Manifold
• ACB
• Surface detect sensor
• Pressure sensors
• Air deck enclosure
• Blower mounting plate
• Frame attachment isolators
• Blower mounting isolators
• Sound dampening foam
• Frame attachment bracket
• IPX4 cover
• Gaskets, air filter, and tubes
The air deck module is installed underneath the foot section of the bed and, through an interface
connector, is connected to tubes routed through the mattress to various zone bladders.
The MCB receives commands from the user control interface and sends the appropriate signals to the
ACB to control the air deck module. When a function is requested by the control interface, the ACB
energizes the appropriate solenoid valve(s) on the manifold and sets the appropriate pulse width
modulation (PWM) for the blower. The power budget for the air deck module is approximately 160
watts.
Air enters the air deck module through the inlet air filter. The air travels over the ACB and into the blower
inlet orifice. The blower is then able to push air through the manifold and tube routings to the
appropriate bladder(s).
Each bladder has a pressure tap that is routed back to the air deck module. These pressure taps are
routed to the manifold and are connected to the pressure sensors through sense lines on the ACB for
feedback of pressure levels inside the bladders. For example, if pressures in the head or seat zone
bladders move outside of tolerance range requirements, the pressure sensors sense the bladder
pressures, provide feedback to the ACB, and the bladder pressures are adjusted accordingly. The system
is closed-loop and feedback dependent.
The output air flow from the blower flows through a discharge hose into the inlet of the manifold. A
pressure tap is in the manifold body and a sense line connects to the manifold pressure sensor on the
ACB from the pressure tap. This pressure corresponds to the blower’s output. This allows the ACB to
regulate the speed of the blower in correlation to pressure. For example, it is required that the blower
discharge pressure be 6 ± 1" H2O for MCM function. The microcontroller is able to communicate to the
blower controller so that appropriate PWM settings are fixed in order to establish the correct pressure
and flow output from the blower.
In order to deflate the turn assist bladders in a time frame that meets requirements, a pressure gradient
must be established to create suction so the blower is able to deflate the bladders faster. The blower
inlet orifice creates a restriction and pressure differential so suction may be applied to turn assist
deflation. A return hose is routed from the manifold to the blower chamber so the air may be drawn
from the turn assist bladders while the blower is at a maximum PWM.
All of the tube routings and sense lines from the bladders are connected to the mattress interface
connector, along with the mattress detect sensor. The sensor is a hall effect sensor that changes its
output voltage when it senses a magnetic field. A magnet is attached to the mattress interface
connector and excites the hall effect sensor when connected to the air deck module. This change in
voltage from the mattress detect sensor is sent to the ACB. The ACB then realizes a mattress has been
connected to the air deck and sends power to the air deck components to begin regulating mattress
bladders.
The ACB determines the activities the air deck needs to perform based on the input from the interfacing
components. The ACB has the driver to run the blower and pressure sensors, which read the pressure
from the bladder as well as the blower’s discharge pressure. A microprocessor in the board determines
the function to be executed based on the inputs from other interfacing elements.
The air source in the air deck module is the 3-phase, brushless, direct-driven, centrifugal DC motor. The
blower speed is controlled through PWM. A blower controller on the ACB controls the PWM for the
blower motor. The blower is responsible for supplying air to the various bladders and zones of the
mattress.
A thermistor is also installed on the blower as a means for thermal protection. The output of the
thermistor is used to determine the blower’s casing temperature. The blower is capable of providing
23 CFM flow at an unrestricted condition and 55" H2O static discharge pressure at fully restricted
condition.
The manifold assembly consists of individual valves that regulate the air supply to different zones. The
manifold assembly directs air flow from the blower to specific zones of the surface by energizing the
appropriate solenoid valve(s). The manifold contains 6 valves: MCM, head, seat, zone 3 (extra), right turn
assist, and left turn assist.
3
• Turn assist inflation—the turn assist valve is a three-way valve, which is normally closed in the
fill direction and normally open in the vent direction. There are individual valves for both the
left and right turn assist functions. When inflation is required, the MCM valve is energized
(closed), followed by energizing the appropriate turn assist valve. When the turn assist valve is
energized, the valve opens the fill direction and closes the vent direction. The blower speed is
then increased to route the pressurized air to the turn assist bladders. When required to hold
the turn assist bladders, the blower speed is then reduced to zero. A check valve is used in the
manifold which allows the air to pass in the fill direction and seals the air in the return direction
towards the inlet.
The surface detect sensor is on the interface plate of the manifold assembly and is electrically
connected to the ACB via the hall sensor cable (195954). The purpose of the hall effect sensor is to
detect the magnet on the mattress interface connector and send appropriate signals to the ACB
signifying that a compatible max mattress has been connected. If the hall sensor does not sense a
magnetic field, the blower will remain in the OFF state. The interface plate contains a depression to
easily secure the hall switch and cable retainer to retain the sensor cable.
The blower inlet orifice is the main inlet to the blower suction and is integrated into the turn assist
return hose (193799). The orifice creates an intended pressure restriction through the main inlet, which
is higher than the pressure restriction through the turn assist return passage, up to a certain flow. This
enables the blower to preferentially create suction through the turn assist return passage. The orifice
provides around a 2.8" H2O pressure drop from ambient when no air flow from the turn assist bladder is
available. A total pressure difference of 10" H2O, with respect to turn assist bladder, is equal to the
lowest patient set point when the bladders are filled with pressurized air.
The air inlet filter is in a removable compartment on the air deck.
All of the powered components inside of the air deck module are connected to the ACB with positive
latch connectors. The system also monitors for external faults.
The ACB has a total of 6 electrical connections: power cable, CAN communications cable, blower cable,
manifold turn assist solenoids cable, support bladders and MCM solenoids cable, and hall sensor cable.
The power cable and CAN communications cable are combined into the same cable harness (211335),
but connect to the ACB in two different connectors. This cable comes out of the air deck enclosure and
connects to the MCB.
The manifold makes two connections to the ACB with two different cables. One cable is for turn assist
solenoids and the other is for MCM and support bladder solenoids.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Only facility-authorized persons should service the Centrella® Smart+ Bed. Service by unauthorized
persons could cause injury or equipment damage.
It is necessary for the Centrella® Smart+ Bed to have an effective maintenance program. We recommend
that you do the first preventive maintenance (PM) in year 2 of ownership and annually thereafter for
Joint Commission certification. PM not only meets Joint Commission requirements but can help make
sure of a long, operative life for the bed. Two effective ways to reduce downtime and make sure the
patient remains comfortable are to keep accurate records and maintain the bed.
The PM Checklist that follows is designed to keep a maintenance history for one Centrella® Smart+ Bed.
The PM Checklist is to be used along with the “Specified Checks” on page 6-3. The Specified Checks
include specific items to examine as you complete the PM Checklist. (Your facility can change this
checklist or design another to fit your needs.)
NOTE:
For the preventive maintenance for the pro+ non-integrated mattress (P7924), see the pro+ Mattress
Service Manual (209197).

EXPECTED LIFE
NOTE:
For the expected life for the pro+ non-integrated mattress (P7924), see the pro+ Mattress Service Manual
(209197).
The expected life of the bed is ten years of normal use provided that recommended preventive
maintenance is performed by the facility. However, certain components have a short life cycle and will
need to be replaced in order for the bed to meet its expected life. These components are listed below:
• Batteries have a three-year life expectancy:
• With the exception of the top cover and blower unit (as applicable), the core mattress (P7920),
pro mattress (P7921), max mattress (P7922), and pro+ mattress (P7923) have a five-year life
expectancy.
• The top cover for the core mattress (P7920), pro mattress (P7921), pro+ mattress (P7923), and
max mattress (P7922) has a two-year life expectancy.
•
NOTE:
Laundering reduces the life expectancy of the top cover. Always carefully examine a laundered
cover for damage before use.
• The blower unit for the P7922 has a two-year life expectancy.
