1. Confirm all motors adopt DC 24V safety voltage, to eliminate electric shock risk for pregnant patients who cannot feel pain feedback clearly during labor
2. Check the full bed surface adjustment range: backrest 0-75 degree, leg rest 0-90 degree, overall height 520mm-920mm, to adapt for different delivery postures and clinical operation requirements
3. Verify the bed load-bearing capacity is over 250kg, to meet the use demand for obese pregnant women and multi-person operation scenarios
4. Confirm the control panel has both hand-held remote and side guard manual backup control, to avoid failure when electronic components are temporarily out of service
5. Check the bed surface adopts seamless high-density PU material without gap, to meet 2026 latest infection control disinfection requirements
6. Verify the manufacturer provides at least 3-year warranty for core motor components
