Stiegelmeyer Evario Hospital Bed
Key Points in brief
The hospital bed that meets every requirement (see video)
Hospital beds are expected to meet an extremely broad range of requirements. The tasks they are faced with in the various hospital units are so wide-ranging that you could be forgiven for thinking that the answer is to use a variety of special-purpose models. But wouldn’t it be easier and more user-friendly, as well as more cost-effective, to have one model of bed that would meet every need? This is precisely the approach followed by the Evario from Stiegelmeyer.
Its intelligent modular system makes the Evario equally at home in any hospital unit. A variety of control options, safety side systems, castors and head and footboards are brought together to form a practical and attractively versatile hospital bed which addresses individual requirements while still providing excellent value for money.
The Evario goes a long way to facilitating the work of nursing staff with its effortless use. Its planar design and its optional machine washability contribute to its excellent hygiene characteristics. These support hospitals in the fight against multi-resistant germs.
Integrated control panel, in Protega safety sides
The control panel which is integrated into the Protega safety sides on both sides offers ideal options as well as practical pre-set positions for all users inside and outside the bed.
The pleasantly backlit controls enhance safety even in the dark, while the bed’s preset treatment positions considerably simplify nurses’ work.
LCD handset — 3 buttons, intuitively operated
The LCD handset can be intuitively operated with only 3 buttons. It contains control levels for patients, care staff and technicians.
Retracting back rest for ergonomic positioning
Evario bed utilises an auto-regression backrest that swings up and back as the bed profiles, providing the client with further space for ergonomic positioning.
The thigh rest is not regressed by design as it leads to the tendency for the client to slide down the bed, resulting in shear and friction forces. Minimising such forces helps to prevent pressure ulcer formation. In addition, staff injuries are reduced as repositioning the client can cause back injuries of the care staff.
Secure grip — rails on safety sides
The hand rails along the safety sides provide the patient with a secure grip. The hand rails along the head and footboards facilitate manoeuvring of the bed.
¾ safety side
Protega safety sides
Protega safety sides (see video)
The head section of the split safety sides follows the movement of the mattress base and offers optimum protection with a height of 41cm.
Large height adjustment range
The height adjustment range from low 32cm up to 91cm protects the patient from fall related injuries and enables the carer to work at a back-friendly ergonomic height.
Collision protection — wall deflection rollers
Wall buffer cones and a choice of effective wall deflection rollers protect the bed and the room’s furniture against damages.
Hygienic mattress bases
The available mattress bases offer high comfort and are easy to clean and disinfect – including in automatic washing systems.

- In an emergency, the CPR position can be set instantly with a lever on the backrest.
5th Castor — Easier for care staff to move the bed (see videos)
Wheeling the bed is a challenge in narrow rooms and corridors. In principle, beds with both 4 and 5 castors can be moved without strain on the back by just one person when the directional castor is correctly used. The optional fifth castor, however, reduces the amount of force required and aids precise manoeuvring and so protects the bed and fixtures from collisions.
⤊ The optional fifth castor makes it easier for care staff to move the bed.
ESSENTIALLY BETTER
Advantages of the 5th castor
If a bed with a patient lying in it rapidly turns a corner, high centrifugal forces can come into play. The fifth castor ensures that the Evario remains on track and prevents it from slipping sideways.
In addition, the 5th castor provides high stability during patient transport, regardless of whether the nurse pushes the bed from the head or foot end. The ergonomic handle bars on the sturdy head and footboards provide added convenience when handling the beds. An easy to activate locking mechanism prevents the head or footboards from being inadvertently removed.

Evario — The bed that’s at home in any hospital unit (dimensions)
Its modular system makes the Evario a bed that adapts itself to very specific requirements.
In the basic configuration, it is available with mattress base widths of 87 or 90 cm.
The narrower version makes it easier to manoeuvre in confined spaces and narrow doorways.
It allows such a variety of decors and forms to be combined that the design spectrum ranges from cosy stylishness to contemporary clean lines.
Hospitals can therefore enhance the quality of their patient rooms with an individual appearance.
- A high safe working load makes it equally suitable for heavier patients weighing up to 250 kg
- Integrated 28 cm bed extension for tall people
- Easy cleaning and maintenance due to large-surface design and good access to all components
External dimensions/height adjustment range:
Protega safety side — Wing-shaped split safety side (see video)
The Protega safety side is an alternative developed by Stiegelmeyer to provide a flexible response to patients’ needs.
The wingshaped split safety side in high-strength plastic can optionally be raised at the head end only or along the whole length of the mattress base.
This forms an orientation aid or provides the patient with full protection.
The safety sides are ergonomically formed and pleasing to the touch.
The planar design provides extensive protection from entrapment and allows easy and thorough cleaning.
⤊
It only needs one hand to swing the safety side wings downwards in a quietly cushioned,
power assisted motion so that they take up very little space along the side of the bed.
⤊
Protega safety side elements at the head end move in tandem with any backrest adjustments and provide ideal protection even in a sitting position.
- Approx. 41 cm protective height above the mattress base
- Split safety side made from sturdy plastic
- Easy power-assisted operation with damped movement
- Extensive finger-trap-protection
¾ safety side — Space-saving — one-hand operation (see video)
Preventing patient falls from hospital beds is of the highest priority. At the same time, however, it is important to promote mobility and reduce the use of freedom-restricting measures. Evario’s safety side systems are the right choice for meeting these requirements. With their generous protective height of up to 41 cm, they also allow problem-free use of comfort mattresses, anti-decubitus mattresses and alternating pressure systems. The ¾ safety side protects a large proportion of the mattress base and so provides a high level of safety. It is also spacesaving, blends in discreetly and allows the patient an unobstructed view.
⤊
Nursing staff can operate this safety side quickly and intuitively with just one hand.
⤊
The ¾ safety side incorporates a wall buffer cone which protects the bed and furnishings from side-on collisions.
- Approx. 39 cm protective height above the mattress base
- Can be released and lowered quietly with one hand
- Clear, unhindered view for the patient
- Machine-washable version with edge protection
Attractive and practical head and footboards (see video)
The three Intercontinental, Stelo and Rondo head and footboards available to choose from are easy to clean. The bed can also be supplied with a fixed headboard on request, which does not move when height adjustments are made.

Integrated control panels — Intuitive bed control (see videos)
Where the Evario is fitted with Protega safety sides, the bed can optionally be operated with innovative control units.
These stylish flat panels are integrated in the safety sides on both sides of the bed.
The panels give the patient four options for adjustment that are often used during the daily routine: adjusting the height of the bed,
raising the backrest and thigh rest as well as changing from a lying position to a comfortable sitting position.
This makes it easier for the patient to read, eat or get up, and thereby promotes the recovery process.
The outward-facing side of the panel is designed with a large display which allows separate control levels to be selected for nurses and technical staff.
In addition to normal adjustments, this can be used to select medically indicated positions such as a Trendelenburg position.
⤋
The outward-facing panels offer additional options for nursing staff or technicians.
LCD handset — Easy operation with only 3 buttons (see videos)
The stylish slimline LCD handset is attractive with its backlit display and only 3 buttons. Patients can select and use the bed’s adjustment options quickly and easily on the display. Functions locked by care staff are not visible for the patient. This intuitive operation makes it suitable for use even by people with restricted capabilities.
To avoid inadvertent adjustments to the bed, the LCD handset has 3 separate control levels for patients, nursing staff and technical personnel. On their control level, nurses can lock certain adjustment options for patients but, with the EasyCare function, nurses can still use all the bed’s options themselves. The 3rd control level allows technicians to make useful settings for maintenance and error analysis.
The handset is always ready to hand in a holder on the safety side. ⤋
Changing levels is easy with the help of an unlocking magnet. ⤋
The handset is stowed safely in the linen holder. ⤋
The handset can simply be tilted over to one side when not in use. ⤋
Practical operating functions — Fast adjustment of the bed
⤊ A cardiac chair position can be set quickly using the display on the operating panel.
As a practical and positive aid for nursing staff, 3 preset backrest positions that are frequently needed in everyday care are provided. These can be selected at the touch of a button on the Evario control panel, which is close to the patient. The preset adjustment angles are 15°, 30° and 45°.
⤊ An angle of 30° reduces brain pressure, relieves strain on the heart and facilitates breathing.
⤊ An angle of 45° makes it easier to eat meals and converse with other people at eye level.
EasyCare
Similarly to the LCD handset, the EasyCare function allows nurses to operate all bed adjustment options, even those that are locked for patients.

Digital assistance systems — provide security, relief and customised solutions for your smart hospital
Digital assistance systems are a modern solution for reducing liberty-depriving measures, protecting patients and at the same time supporting nursing staff, especially during night shifts. The focus here is on the Out-of-Bed system. A load sensor in the backrest registers when the patient gets up and initiates supportive measures:
⤊ The Out-of-Bed system can switch on a glare-free under bed light.
- Immediately switches on the under bed light for better orientation.
- Notifies nurse after 4 selectable intervals of between 15 seconds and 15 minutes.
- Visual or acoustic signals via the existing in-house call system.

Benefits for nursing staff — Easy to operate
Nurses are often faced with demanding physical and emotional situations during the daily hospital routine. The Evario brings relief to many situations with its intuitive ease of use. The many useful details about the Evario add up to a cohesive whole. Of particular note is the large height adjustment range of 32 to 91 cm — even tall nursing staff can work at a back-friendly hip-level height.
⤊ The integrated 28 cm bed extension stands out with its ease of use.
⤊ Faster access to the patient due to removable head and footboards.
Benefits for patients — Comfort and safety
The Evario’s great comfort and stylish good looks make it a hospital bed that you can feel at home in. Patients can regain strength and renewed confidence in this bed. This has a positive effect on the speed of their recovery.
⤊ The pleasantly backlit controls enhance safety even in the dark, while the bed’s preset treatment positions considerably simplify nurses’ work.
⤊ Both the V-shaped opening in the Protega and the slimline bars on the ¾ safety side afford an unobstructed view into the room or out of the window and prevent the patient from feeling constricted.
⤊ The split Protega safety side and the handrails running all round the bed foster patient mobility. Patients can get up by themselves and have a handrail available all round to hold onto.
⤊ When the patient ventures those first attempts at standing up and walking, the steady handrail provides a useful support and promotes mobilisation.
⤊ At only 32 cm, the lowest position of the bed promotes fall prevention.
Cost-effective benefits — due to high quality
The Evario is a worthwhile investment that gives the hospital an outstanding value-for-money bed that saves costs in the long term.
All components have been subjected to thorough testing, often far in excess of standard procedures, to ensure the bed has a long life cycle.
Its intelligent design means that the Evario also excludes certain risks of damage right from the outset.
The integrated control panel is extremely resistant to damage since it cannot be pulled out or fall off.
And if a repair becomes necessary after all, the control panel can simply be removed without the need to dismantle the safety side.
⤊ A versatile range of wall deflection rollers and wall buffer cones protects the bed and walls from damage.
⤊ The technician control level on the LCD handset and control panel provides useful settings for maintenance, error analysis and reset functions.
Maintenance and servicing — Support for technical staff
The safety, efficiency and ease of use of the Evario are also evident during inspections and maintenance.
All electronic components have been placed so as to afford particular protection and yet make them easily accessible at all times.
The control unit and the battery are located underneath the head end of the mattress base.
For currentless operation, either a lead-gel battery or the powerful long-life lithium-ion battery are available.
The latter enables a larger number of adjustment cycles and needs to be replaced less frequently.
If a change of battery does become necessary, both batteries are easy to reach.
Service technicians can carry out any necessary maintenance and repair work on these components in just a few easy steps.
⤊ The technician level of the LCD handset helps with inspections and maintenance.
⤊ An ideal washing position is already preset on the handset and the control panel.

Evario with scales — Integrated weighing system
⤊ The weight is displayed on an easy-to-use handset with a 6cm backlit display and highly visible buttons.
The Evario with scales meets the demanding requirements of an intensive care unit.
The system offered by the integrated bed scales delivers precise readings and helps with diagnosis and the correct medication.
The scales monitor the patient’s weight with an accuracy of 200 g.
Auto-compensation allows staff to add or remove items from the bed without affecting the displayed weight of the patient.
In addition to the weighing option, the new system is also optionally available with an integrated Out-of-Bed function.
This automatically turns the under bed light on when the patient gets out of bed.
The system can also be connected to the nurse call system (or in-house call system).
Thanks to the weighing cells in the chassis, nursing staff are informed when a patient gets up and does not return to bed after a pre-defined period.
⤊ The ergonomically designed handset can be attached to the main unit or safely stowed in the linen holder.
⤊ For hygienic reasons, the chassis is protected by an additional cover and therefore easier to clean.
Email for more information on Scales.
Reliable Hygiene — Ideal for manual or automatic reprocessing
Multi-drug resistant superbug infections are a major challenge for every hospital. Shorter hospital stays and increased patient turnover make infection prevention even more challenging. Reliable bed hygiene plays a key role in combating this risk. The Evario is ideally designed for thorough cleaning and disinfection — both by hand as well as by optional machine washing.
⤊ The bed incorporates large smooth surfaces that do not allow dirt to settle unnoticed. Both the Intercontinental and Stelo models of head and footboard enhance these outstanding hygienic properties.
|
|
⇚ An ideal washing position is already preset on the handset and the control panel. |
Even the standard version designed for manual reprocessing is manufactured with protection category IPX6, and so offers the best possible conditions for cleaning.
For the machine washable version, Stiegelmeyer has defined the extended protection category IPX6W (washable),
which offers particularly good protection against moisture.
Automated reprocessing provides operators of hospital beds with a strong weapon in the fight against dangerous superbugs.
Even with the plastic Protega safety sides, the Evario is suitable for washing machines — a decisive advantage over comparable models.
