The Hill-Rom® 900 bed
Simply efficient
Trusted Reliability
With over 85 years of history behind it, the Hill-Rom 900 bed features a wealth of technological
innovations, assisting caregivers in delivering quality care for patients. Hill-Rom has incorporated the
insights of generations of caregivers for inspiration and direction, in order to simplify and elevate the
level of caregiving with the Hill-Rom 900 bed. The proven reliability of the Hill-Rom 900 in facilities
around the world mean that caregivers in your facility will benefit from years of performance.
The quality of patient care depends on the amount of time caregivers have to spend with patients.
The Hill-Rom 900 bed offers maximum functionality with minimum complexity meaning caregivers
spend less time and energy operating the bed and more time focusing on essential tasks such as
safer patient mobilisation.

Exceptionally efficient, meaning more time
to focus on patient care
The Hill-Rom 900 bed was designed with operational efficiency in mind, focusing on ease‑of‑use and safety - for both
patients and caregivers.

Intuitive mobility assists in promoting greater
patient autonomy and faster rehabilitation
The concept that safe and early mobility helps patients
recover faster is supported by published clinical evidence.1-3
The clinical issues resulting from restricted mobility, such as pressure ulcers, deterioration of muscle mass, weak bones,
constipation and depression frequently impede patient recovery.4-6 Mobilising patients brings benefits for not only
physical functioning, but also emotional and social well-being.1-3
Mobilisation is often complicated and risky to patients and caregivers.7 Falls are the most frequently reported adverse
incident in adult inpatient units,8 and adversely affect both patients and their caregivers.9-14
Healthcare organisations face increasing challenges to provide a safe and comfortable environment for both patients
and caregivers – not only for the protection and well-being of the organisation, but also to minimise healthcare cost and
avoid potential litigation. With this in mind, the Hill-Rom 900 bed features ergonomic capabilities designed to enhance the
safety and efficiency of patient mobilisation.

Trusted reliability
Hill-Rom quality
The Hill-Rom 900 bed variable height system is designed to ensure solid
reliability. Two attachment points, each on the base frame and on the sleep deck,
distribute weight equally across the sleep deck for optimal lateral stability.
Computer-aided simulation of stress
on the lift arms helped determine the
design, material and strength of these
critical components.
Designed for efficient service. The straightforward design of
the bed, combined with extensive service capabilities from
Hill‑Rom, will ensure that your healthcare facility achieves
maximum return on its investment. The Hill‑Rom 900 bed
offers safe and easy access to the main components in order
to simplify routine maintenance operations. Only five tools
are required to cover all maintenance procedures.

The Hill-Rom 900 range
The 900 series of beds are the flagship product for Hill‑Rom within the acute care environment,
incorporating the same platform utilised across a range of beds in all areas of care. This facilitates
easier training for staff who are already familiar and comfortable with the Hill-Rom platform, and
more efficient spare parts management for care facilities.
While each bed is designed to meet specific needs within a particular healthcare setting, Hill-Rom
has built common features and functions across all of its beds to facilitate greater ease-of-use,
meaning less in-service training for the caregivers and more time for the patients. Ease-of-use also
contributes to reduced caregiver errors, enhancing risk management for healthcare facilities.
