New Anetic Aid QA3 Patient Trolley is Better than Ever

With a host of enhanced features, the new generation QA3 V3.0 Variable Height Patient Trolley is here: see it on the Anetic Aid stand – F12 in Hall 14.

Keeping all of the features that customers value in the current model – light weight, robust with superb manoeuvrability – we have taken the QA3 Version 3.0 to the next level of ease of use, practicality and patient comfort.

Extensive consultations with customers helped our designers to plan and refine a number of key enhancements – including the adjustable height range. The QA3’s design with one central column has always been unique, but this new version is now able to descend 100mm lower than the previous model, making it easier for frail or elderly patients to get on and off the trolley independently which is better and safer for them and, from a lifting and handling point of view, for staff.

Generally, people - and therefore patients - are getting larger, so there is an increased 250kg weight capacity, and new ergonomically positioned handles are designed to make it even easier for staff to push the trolley with the patient sitting up or lying down. The mattress width has also been increased by 100mm, even though the overall width of the trolley has only increased by 30mm.

The cot sides too, have been completely reworked, and now fold away under the footprint of the mattress, leaving virtually no transfer gap – again more comfortable for patients when they are being moved – and easier for staff doing the moving.

Infection control has been another important consideration, so we have created smooth moulded surfaces and acrylic capped vac formings which enclose the trolley mechanics
to minimise dirt traps. Where possible, we have used materials with anti-bacterial and anti-microbacterial properties – both for the trolley and for the K8 pressure care mattress which is fitted as standard with every model.

• A specially designed version of the QA3 for Accident & Emergency departments is also available, including an X-ray translucent platform, a medirail and optional features such as a monitor shelf and Venturi Suction System
