In-house Product Training
Matrx Seating Systems
In February Invacare invited Ian Bickerton; PPC Product Specialist & Export Sales Manager, to our offices in Swords to demonstrate the range of Matrx back systems to our dealers.
Ian presented the products, and illustrated the unique features and the benefits of the Matrx. He also highlighted some important information such as what’s actually ‘in the box’ as some fixtures and fittings have to be order separately.
For those that were unable to attend the training session, please view a copy of Ian’s presentation below.

IEC 60601-2-52 New Bed Standards
Due to breaches in patient safety new standards for beds were approved by IEC and ISO in April 2010. The new key elements are:
- Significantly increased demands for side rail strength
- Increased reliability of the locking mechanism
Invacare have adapted their bed side rails to conform to these new standards. Please view the presentation below on how the product range has been altered. There is also a fact sheet providing details on the reasons for these changes and the key of elements of this new standard. Finally there is a comparison chart highlighting the differences between the current and new standards.
For more details on the range of Invacare side rails available please download the Bed Accessories brochure on our website.
