Formidabel SIMPLY UNIQUE
Actively and constantly improving the care situation for nursing home residents and hospital patients and, of course, for their carers – that is our aim at FMB care. And the most important building block in the achieving of this objective is our care bed series Formidabel. Day in, day out we work tirelessly in our Development department, in our production halls and with our partners, resolutely intent on the continued advancement of Formidabel. The result is that we have succeeded in presenting a care bed which is easy to operate and which offers a unique degree of comfort with a modern look that provides more cosiness. And into the bargain this bed is also amazingly cost-effective. But even if our beds make us feel that we have achieved the ultimate in care sophistication, we do not rest on our laurels, on our solutions that most definitely set standards in our field of work. Fired up by ambition, we continue pursuing our company aim and strike out in new directions together with our customers. Not only together but as partners - that is the way we develop and produce beds, furniture and furnishing concepts with our clients, designs which can adapt to the requirements of every individual customer.

8 Solutions: Side protection
Freedom with safety SIDE PROTECTION UNIQUE Advantages + + + + + Modular structure and consequently particularly cost- effective Innovative net structure provides more safety No tools needed and easy to use Quick and easy cleaning Maximum feeling of freedom for the user of the bed + When developing our side protection system – and incidentally Unique was as clear-cut as it was ambitious – this was our aim: to reconcile the maximum amount of freedom with the maximum amount of safety. Spurred on by the belief that we could sustainably improve a care home resident’s quality of life by means of a bed with innovative side protection, we went on to ultimately develop the perfect system. Fast, individual, safe. Unique. Acting as a complement to the modular structure of our Formidabel series, the Unique side protection features adapt very easily to the needs of residents and to the requirements of hospital and nursing home operators. The maximum range of solutions, which can be used for speed, as a way of saving space and indeed in so many variable ways, constitutes a huge advantage for a carer team. Unique enables the necessary protection for the resident while at the same time allowing the greatest amount of freedom possible. And this at all times. And thanks to their self-explanatory function, every Unique element can be mounted with very little effort and without the need for any tools. Scope and size are customised to suit protection requirements in the various situations. Safety and transparency Complete protection with four side protection elements, which can also be fixed just at the head end of the bed, the Unique side protection system with its transparent and very pleasant mesh fabric gives the user of the bed a particular feeling of freedom and also prevents any risk of injury caused by limbs being jammed. Thanks to its infinitely variable setting and its standard in accordance with the required stability factor, the side protection element also serves as a safe mobilisation aid for the user of the bed.
10 Solutions: Handset Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3 Scenario 4 1 4 2 3
Solutions with buttons SCENARIO HANDSET Advantages + + + + + Programmable scenarios for more independence Button illumination provides excellent orientation even when it is dark Easy-to-understand symbols for intuitive operating Functions can be selected and then blocked Significant lightening of staff workload + Good solutions operate smoothly. The Scenario handset makes the daily routine of residents and carers as easy as humanly possible: just by pressing a button. Easy-to-understand symbols help the resident to intuitively have control over everyday situations just by pressing a button: scenarios such as finding a comfortable position to relax, a sleeping position or achieving the right height for the bed in order to get up easily and safely. The result is a very real potential lightening of the workload for carers. And for those needing care, it means more independence and consequently a higher level of social integration. In addition to the programmable resident’s mode, the configurable care mode and the lockdown mode work together to create a safe operating of the device. In short: we are talking more quality of life and more enjoyment at work. + Optional: Scenario handset for T16 / T17
12 Solutions: Bed extension 2,00 1,00 2,10 2,20 Meter
Longer and so much better BED EXTENSION WITH NO TOOLS REQUIRED Advantages + + + Extendible to 220 cm – pure simplicity and no in-house technical work required Efficient procedures when bed becomes occupied by a new resident or patient No tools needed, just a few moves of the hand do the job + Every care home resident or hospital patient is different. So it is all the more important that a care bed can be flexibly adapted to suit the prevailing needs and conditions. And that has to happen with very little effort. The way in which the bed length of Formidabel First and UltraLow can be extended without the need for any tools is the perfect example of how good solutions can also be very simple. Just a few quick moves is all that it takes It is vital that a care bed can be adapted swiftly and in a straightforward manner to suit the height of each resident or individual patient. Thanks to the integrated bed extension feature, which comes as a standard fitting, all our Formidabel models can be easily extended. With the First and UltraLow models that are available with the Unique side protection, the bed extension, carried out without the need for any tools, leads to even more flexibility and saves a great deal of time, too. By means of a practical release mechanism, these models can be quickly extended from 2 metres in length to 2.10 metres or even up to 2.20 metres. In this way it is possible to react at short notice if beds are to be used for different residents or patients with the result that the new “inhabitant” of the bed can be given the greatest comfort immediately.
14 Solutions: Formidabel UltraLow
Safe proximity to the floor ULTRALOW Advantages + + + Specific fall prevention by setting the lowest bed position Integrated fittings and planning reliability in every position Unparalleled combination made up out of 15 cm proximity to the floor & the Unique side protection feature + Our UltraLow is the latest building block in the Formidabel series. This is where you will find all cutting-edge solutions and functions brought together in order to create the greatest sense of wellbeing possible for the care home resident. When the relevant handset scenario option is selected, the bed’s lying surface is lowered to a height of just 15 cm away from the floor. Thus, UltraLow becomes instrumental in reducing consequences of any possible fall suffered by the resident. Furthermore, residents find it easier to get their bearings in the room, especially at night, because they can touch the floor with their hands and in this way feel much more confident of their position. An ideal combination The protection offered by the Unique side safety system is the ideal complement to the lowest lying position. On account of its infinitely variable adjustability, the side safety system serves as a safe aid for getting up out of bed or its handrail at mattress level can function as a cognitive signal warning of the risk of falling out of bed.
16 Digital solutions
Digital solutions PRACTICAL SYNERGIES Advantages + + + More freedom and safety for high-risk residents prone to falling Fast reaction times in the event of falls Extra support at hand during night and weekend shifts + Two objectives are always of crucial importance for us: the improvement of care safety and quality, the lightening of the carers’ workload. In combination with the Formidabel care bed, we can see how digital solutions can hugely support carers and enhance the quality of life for people in need of care. Our solution called Safer Exit, sensor-supported and developed together with the care sector, is an example of a technology that can be implemented simply and successfully. In nursing homes it is a fact that falls can quite often happen and the consequences thereof can be most serious. If a resident who is at particularly at risk from falling gets up from bed, the sensor system, suitably programmed for the individual resident, alerts the nursing staff via radio, thus enabling them to be on the spot quickly. And especially when one considers challenges such as finding specialist staff and keeping them, our handset, with its selection of various scenarios typical of the care situation, offers a pragmatic, digital solution with invaluable benefits. Programmed functions, such as choosing the position for getting up out of bed and the comfortable position for relaxing or the operating of the underbed light, can all be selected just by the pressing of a button. These features intuitively make for an easier daily routine for the residents and they promote independence. + Retrofittable

It’s time to find out what makes Formidabel simply unique and what it can uniquely do.
20 Formidabel First
The first of its kind The care bed Formidabel First has made its mark on this sector, defining it anew by combining the highest possible degree of safety with the maximum amount of freedom.

Technology that makes Life easier With the Unique side protection feature, you can react immediately to every care situation that arises. No special tools are required to fit this side safety system to the care bed. Its added bonus is that it also functions as a practical aid for the resident or patient to get up out of bed. Furthermore, because this bed can be extended also without the need for any tools, it is possible to adjust the Formidabel First to suit the requirements of every resident or patient using the bed. The handset allows the everyday scenarios to be selected as required and it ensures that the wide-ranging functions of this premium care bed, guaranteeing care and comfort for the user, are constantly available.

And this is especially the case when it is used in conjunction with our beds that can be dropped to a really low position and with the Unique side protection system: it is truly an effective innovation that enables the reduction of freedom-restraining measures. Both the comfort and also the hygiene of the ergonomically divided up lying surface can be further optimised thanks to the easily removable synthetic underlays.

care & interior with flair Their rooms in a care home are quite simply the focus of senior citizens’ life. And that is certainly true for those in need of a great deal of care. They spend most of their time in their rooms. So for that reason the furnishings should be especially cosy and homely for them. Whereas for the carers, it is vital that equipment and fittings are practical and functional. The care bed and the furniture of the care home should, however, fulfil both kinds of needs.

A pleasant ambience A WIDE SELECTION OF DESIGNS Making a decision for a person to go into care is an exceptionally emotional experience for family members. And many factors certainly play a part in the taking of such a decision. But one crucial issue is the first impression experienced by the family when they first visit the care home. Impressions gained from the moment they go through the entrance until they arrive at the residents’ rooms. Feeling totally at ease Their rooms in a care home are quite simply the focus of senior citizens’ life. And that is certainly true for those in need of a great deal of care. They often spend most of their time in these rooms. So for that reason the furnishings should be especially cosy and homely for them. For the carers, it is also vital that equipment and fittings are practical and functional. The care bed, the furniture and all the other kinds of furnishings should, however, fulfil both kinds of needs. So when we are developing our Formidabel care beds and also during the design of matching furniture and furnishings, we always incorporate into our work the findings of current studies and, of course, up-to-the-minute trends. Modern wood looks, appealing shapes and attractive fabrics bestow upon a room more cosiness and a discernible feel-good atmosphere. Advantages + + + A harmonious room concept undoubtedly promotes the wellbeing of residents and carers alike. Family members see this and immediately appreciate the benefits of a cosy environment with homely features. Usefulness and care-friendly features of the furnishings are visually in tune with one another. +
