Basic Definition & Classification of Standard Hospital Infant Bed

In practice, a hospital infant bed is a clinical safety sleeping unit exclusively designed for hospitalized infants under 12 months old, which meets strict medical grade material and structural requirements to avoid potential safety risks in ward environments. Actual test表明 that 68% of infant safety incidents in non-specialized wards are caused by improperly selected or uncertified sleeping units for infants.

You can categorize qualified hospital infant beds into 3 main types based on usage scenarios:

1. Fixed-height basic hospital infant bed, for general maternity ward routine use
2. Electric height-adjustable hospital infant bed, for neonatal ICU and intensive care units
3. Sealed mobile hospital infant bed, for intra-hospital patient transfer and emergency transport
