Guidance on Technical Review for Electric Hospital Beds (Revised 2017)

This guidance document aims to standardize and clarify the technical review requirements for electric hospital bed products, and to provide specific guidance to applicants submitting applications for electric hospital bed products.

This guidance document does not include administrative approval requirements and is not legally binding. It should be used in accordance with relevant regulations.

This guidance document outlines general requirements for electric hospital bed products. Applicants should supplement and refine the content of their registration application documents based on the specific characteristics of their products. Applicants should also determine whether the specific content is applicable based on the characteristics of their products. If not applicable, they must provide a detailed explanation and supporting scientific evidence.

This guidance document was developed based on current regulations and standards, as well as the current level of knowledge. It also references relevant international standards, foreign regulations, and technical guidance documents. As regulations, standards, and scientific and technological development continue to evolve, the content of this guidance document will be adjusted accordingly.

I. Scope

These guidelines apply to electric hospital beds. Classified as Class II medical devices according to the "Medical Device Classification Directory" with the code number 6856.

II. Technical Review Points

(I) Product Name Requirements

The product name should typically be "electric hospital bed," or alternatively, the name specified in the industry standard YY 0571-2013 "Electrical Equipment for Medical Use - Part 2: Special Safety Requirements for Hospital Beds." The product name should comply with relevant regulations such as the "General Rules for Naming of Medical Devices" (State Food and Drug Administration Decree No. 19).

(II) Product Structure and Composition

An electric hospital bed consists of a bed surface, a bed frame, a drive mechanism, a control mechanism, and accessories.

The bed surface, bed frame, drive mechanism, control mechanism, and accessories should be determined based on the specific requirements of each product manufactured by different manufacturers. Generally, the bed surface consists of multiple support plates with different functions, such as a backrest, seat, thigh support, and calf support; the bed frame consists of a bed frame, headboard component, footboard component, left and right side rails, and casters; the drive mechanism consists of an electric actuator and a rechargeable battery. The electric actuator consists of a drive motor, reduction gear, screw, nut, guide sleeve, actuator, sliding seat, spring, housing, turbine, vane, and a micro-control switch; the control mechanism consists of a controller, control handle (wired/wireless), control panel, and CPR (backrest lowering mechanism) control buttons; and the accessories include: infusion stand, shoe rack, lifting rod, and urine bag hook.

Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the patient bed's possible positions, and Figure 2 provides an example of a specific product and its components from a particular manufacturer for reference by reviewers.

Tables 2 and 3, based on Appendix E of YY/T 0316-2008 "Application of Risk Management for Medical Devices," provide a suggestive list of initial events and environmental factors that may pose hazards for electric hospital beds. The tables exemplify the relationships between hazards, foreseeable events, hazardous situations, and potential harm, providing guidance and reference for reviewers.

Due to the differences in the principles, functions, and structures of electric beds, the risk factors and examples provided in this chapter are common rather than exhaustive. The above section is only a component of the risk management process, and not the entire risk management process. The applicant for registration should establish, document, and maintain a continuous process in accordance with the procedures and methods specified in YY/T 0316-2008 "Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices for Medical Devices," to identify, assess, and evaluate the risks associated with medical devices, control these risks, and monitor the effectiveness of the controls, in order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the product throughout its entire lifecycle.

(VIII) The main technical requirements of the product should include:

The main technical indicators of electric beds should include three parts: basic dimensions, performance indicators, and safety indicators. The basic technical indicators listed in this clause are typical indicators for electric beds and accessories. The applicant for registration should refer to relevant national standards, industry standards, and make specific provisions for each indicator based on clinical needs, the technical characteristics of their own products.

  1. Basic dimensions

Bed: Bed length, bed width (outer edge), overall height (lowest position, with or without mattress).

Mattress: Mattress length, mattress width.

Accessories: Key geometric dimensions (length, width, height, diameter, angle) of accessories.

  1. Performance Requirements

Bed:

2.1 Typical operating parameters include bed lift stroke, bed longitudinal tilt, bed lateral tilt, backrest angle, legboard angle, footboard angle, and bed longitudinal translation.

2.2 Maximum safe load.

2.3 Smoothness of movement.

2.4 Bed movement and locking.

2.5 X-ray transmissivity (if applicable).

2.6 Appearance.

2.7 Leakage of hydraulic and/or pneumatic systems (if applicable).

  1. Environmental Conditions

After conducting tests according to GB/T 14710-2009, all performance characteristics of the electric bed must meet the requirements.

  1. Safety Requirements

The safety requirements for electric hospital beds should meet the requirements of GB 9706.1-2007 "Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General Safety Requirements," YY 0505-2012 "Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-2: General Safety Requirements - Parallel Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility - Requirements and Test Methods," and YY 0571-2013 "Medical Electrical Equipment Part 2: Specific Safety Requirements for Hospital Electric Beds."

(9) Principles and Examples for Determining Typical Products within a Single Registration Unit

  1. The typical product should be the product within the same registration unit that best represents the safety and effectiveness of other products within that unit.

  2. The product with the most complete functionality, the most complex structure, and the highest risk should be considered.

  3. If the main safety and performance indicators of various products within a registration unit are not fully covered by a single product, the product with the most comprehensive coverage of safety and performance indicators should be selected as the typical product. It should also be considered whether other products have safety and performance indicators not covered by the typical product.

  4. For example, if two models within the same registration unit have identical product structures but differ only in X-ray transmission requirements, the model that can transmit X-rays through the material should be selected as the typical product.

  5. If there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate that the electromagnetic compatibility performance of different models within the same registration unit can be covered, each model should be subjected to electromagnetic compatibility testing.

(Ten) Product Manufacturing Requirements

During the manufacturing of an electric bed, the selection and procurement of raw materials directly affect the product's performance. The applicant should carefully review the qualifications of qualified suppliers. During the procurement inspection, the material specifications should be carefully reviewed to ensure compliance with the procurement requirements. The welding and assembly process of the bed frame should be carefully inspected, with particular attention paid to the aspects that affect the bed's performance (such as welding quality and stability).

The applicant shall, based on the actual production process of the product being declared, provide a detailed description of the production process in the form of a flowchart, and describe each process control point in the flowchart. For critical operations and special processes, detailed descriptions of the production operations, methods, and precautions shall be provided in the operating instructions.
