RN07 Bed Head Unit: Horizontal Headwall for Multi-Bed Rooms

What the RN07-DN2 offers

RN07-DN2 is a horizontal bed head unit with built-in lighting. According to the manufacturer it carries mains sockets, medical gas outlets and additional low-voltage installations to the left or right of the bed, or in the middle of the unit. The centre position is useful where two beds share one wall, because one unit can serve both patients.

Its target rooms are high-standard rooms, intermediate-care rooms and standard bedrooms. That places it between a basic ward unit such as the VEGA bed head unit and the heavier ceiling and beam systems used in intensive care. If you are still deciding between layout types, read our comparison of vertical and horizontal units.

Hygiene, surface and lighting

The smooth surface without significant joints or folds simplifies cleaning and disinfection, which matters because bed head units are touched constantly and sit close to the patient. The antibacterial finish and colour can be matched to the interior of the room.

Biodynamic direct, indirect and night LED lighting can be fitted. Direct light supports examination, indirect light gives a calmer ambience, and the night level lets staff observe a sleeping patient without waking them. Ask how each lighting level is controlled and whether the controls are at the bed, on the unit or both. Our article on bed head unit lights covers what to compare.

Planning multi-bed rooms

A multi-bed head unit saves wall work because one installation spans several beds, but it must be planned around the room. Measure bed spacing, door swing, curtain tracks and the position of ceiling services. Confirm that every bed position has the right outlets within reach, and that the services of one patient cannot interfere with the next bed.

Decide whether gases and electricity share one rail or are separated, and how the unit's length is built from modules. A multi-bed unit is also a bigger single item to move on site, so check lifting access and wall construction. See our note on bed head unit installation for site preparation.

Gas and electrical standards

Gas outlets and sockets are supplied to the customer's chosen standards. This is an advantage for projects with a defined hospital standard, but it also means the specification must state it exactly: outlet connection type, number of outlets per gas, socket type, voltage and the circuit protection required by the consultant.

Ask for the technical file and test records, and check how the unit is intended to connect to the pipeline and to the room's electrical supply. Requirements differ between DHA, DOH and MOHAP, so confirm the current expectations with your consultant before ordering.

Cleaning, maintenance and common mistakes

Agree a cleaning routine with the infection-control team and list the disinfectants compatible with the surface before handover. Keep the manufacturer's guidance in the room file, and once a year check the fixing of the unit, the condition of the sockets and the operation of the lights.

Typical mistakes are ignoring where the bed will really stand, leaving the low-voltage services undefined until late, and mixing outlet standards between floors. Mounting a sample unit in a mock-up room before the full order is the cheapest way to settle these questions with nursing staff and the consultant.
