Vanry QY-2

Product Code: HFAF-HB-2729

Two cranks, a full sitting range, and a triangle they can reach.

Backrest and leg sections turn by hand, and two triangle grips hang from the overhead frame within reach. The deck sits at a fixed 500 mm — there is no height adjustment, and that shapes how every care episode is delivered.

The QY-2 is Vanry's full-Fowler orthopaedic bed for fracture management and post-operative orthopaedic care. The manufacturer's designation identifies it as a twin-crank frame, and the function set shows two movements: backrest elevation and leg-section elevation, both operated by hand. The deck measures 2190 × 960 mm at a fixed height of 500 mm — a single figure, not a range.

That fixed height is the specification detail that shapes daily use, and it deserves to be stated plainly rather than skipped. There is no carer-height working position, so every wash, dressing change, bedpan and pressure-relief manoeuvre is delivered at 500 mm. For an orthopaedic patient immobilised over weeks, that is the same working height repeated hundreds of times across an admission, and it needs assessing against your moving and handling policy before ordering rather than after. What the specification does provide, at that fixed height, is a backrest reaching the full Fowler sitting position and an overhead frame carrying two suspended triangle grips within the patient's reach — the means for someone in traction to lift their own weight for repositioning and pressure relief without waiting for staff.

The overhead frame is also the mounting structure for traction apparatus, fixed on uprights rather than clamped on. Folding side rails, moulded head and tail boards, slotted deck panels and braked castors complete the frame.

Available literature is thin beyond that. No load ratings, guardrail specification, braking arrangement, traction accessory list or certification block is published. Medigear.uk lists the QY-2 for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation and service cover. Request those specifications and the conformity documentation from the seller before ordering.

The QY-2 is specified for orthopaedic and trauma inpatient care: adults under fracture management, in skin or skeletal traction, or recovering from lower-limb surgery where the admission runs for weeks rather than days.

The overhead frame carries the clinical case. A patient immobilised by a fracture stays in the same bed for a long stretch, and every repositioning, bedpan use, and pressure-relief manoeuvre either involves staff or does not. Two triangle grips suspended within reach let a patient with adequate upper body strength lift their own weight and take load off their sacrum between scheduled turns. Over six week,s that is a large number of small moments of self-direction, and a large number of interruptions the ward does not absorb. The frame is also the mounting structure for traction apparatus, fixed on uprights rather than clamped on.

A backrest reaching the full Fowler sitting range supports eating, drinking, medication, respiratory comfort and conversation with visitors — all harder at a reclined angle, and all part of what a long orthopaedic admission is measured on.

The fixed 500 mm deck is the counterweight and belongs in the assessme, notan the footnotes. With no carer-height position, personal care, wound care and pressure-relief work is delivered at one height throughout the admission. Wards with an established slide sheet and hoist regime absorb that; wards where staff deliver personal care unaided should weigh it carefully.

The longer footprint and overhead structure make this a poor fit for general ward use. The conformity documentation that the Trust, Integrated Care Board and NHS Supply Chain procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

A handhold that returns some self-direction

Two triangle grips suspended within reach let a patient with adequate upper body strength reposition and offload their sacrum without calling for help. Across a long immobilisation that adds up in both directions — patient control gained, staff interruptions avoided.

Pressure relief the patient can initiate

An immobilised orthopaedic patient carries meaningful pressure risk. A grip overhead lets them lift their own sacrum in the gaps a turning schedule cannot cover.

The full sitting range retained

A backrest reaching the full Fowler position supports safer eating and drinking, easier breathing, medication administration and proper conversation with visitors — the things a six-week admission is actually lived through.

The frame is structure, not an accessory

Uprights fixed at head and foot with a full-length crossbar give traction apparatus a permanent, engineered attachment point built into the bed itself.

No electrical parts to fail or test

With no motor, cable or handset as supplied, there is no actuator to fail and no place on the portable appliance testing schedule. The bed works during a power failure and in rooms with limited socket provision.

Deck width within standard mattress sizing

At 960 mm the deck sits inside common UK ward mattress dimensions, so a pressure-redistributing surface can be specified from familiar stock rather than made to a special size.

The fixed height stated, not skipped

There is no height adjustment. This page says so in the opening description, gives it a dedicated FAQ, and puts it in the spec table — because it changes how every care episode on the ward is delivered and belongs in the moving and handling assessment before purchase.

The open questions raised before order

Backrest angle, deck load rating, overhead frame and grip load ratings, crank effort and turn count, guardrail specification, braking arrangement, traction accessory inventory and certification position are all absent from the available literature. Every one is named here rather than filled with an assumption.

Twin hand-crank operation

The manufacturer's designation identifies a twin-crank frame. Backrest and leg sections are hand-operated. No electric motor, handset or mains lead in the supplied specification.

Backrest elevation to full Fowler

Backrest movement to the full upright sitting range as designated by the manufacturer. Angle in degrees not published — request from the seller if upright sitting is the reason for purchase.

Leg section elevation

Independent leg-section movement by hand crank. Angle range not published.

Fixed deck height, 500 mm

No height adjustment. The deck sits at a single published height of 500 mm. Assess against your moving and handling policy before order.

Overhead traction frame

A frame on uprights fixed to the bed, spanning above the deck, forming the mounting structure for traction apparatus.

Two suspended triangle grips

Triangular handles hung from the overhead crossbar within the patient's reach, for self-assisted repositioning and pressure relief. Load rating not published — confirm at quotation.

Deck footprint 2190 × 960 mm

Longer than a general ward frame. The 960 mm width sits within common UK ward mattress sizing.

Folding side rails

Collapsible side rails shown in manufacturer photography. Type, quantity and material not itemised in available literature — confirm at quotation.

Moulded head and tail boards

Boards with coloured accent panels, detachable for access and cleaning.

Slotted deck panels

Deck sections formed with open slots, allowing air movement beneath the mattress and drainage after spills. A frame hygiene feature, not a skin microclimate system.

Braked castors

Mobility on braked castors. Braking arrangement — central or individually applied — not published; confirm at quotation, since it determines whether the pre-transfer check is one action or four.

The QY-2 gives an orthopaedic ward two things a general frame does not: a backrest that reaches the full Fowler sitting range, and an overhead frame carrying two triangular grips a patient in traction can pull on. Both sections turn by hand, so nothing electrical can fail and nothing is added to the portable appliance testing schedule. The deck runs 2190 × 960 mm at a fixed 500 mm. There is no height adjustment, which means every wash, dressing change and pressure-relief manoeuvre across a long admission happens at one working height, and that belongs in the moving and handling assessment before purchase rather than after. Backrest angle, load ratings, crank effort, guardrail and braking specification ,and certification pstatusare all unpublished, and the LOLER status of the overhead frame needs aetermination by the purchaser's competent person. Medigear.uk lists the QY-2 for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation and service cover. Request the outstanding specifications and conformity documentation from the seller before ordering.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

It means the deck stays at 500 mm and every care episode happens there. On an orthopaedic ward an immobilised patient may need washing, dressing changes, wound care, bedpan assistance and pressure-relief repositioning several times a day across a six-week admission, and a fixed deck delivers all of it at one height. Cumulative stooping is a recognised driver of musculoskeletal injury across nursing and healthcare assistant roles, and a frame without height travel transfers that exposure to staff for the whole admission rather than removing it. Assess it against your moving and handling policy before purchase. Where the ward is already using slide sheets and a hoist regime, 500 mm may be workable; where staff are expected to deliver personal care unaided, it is a material limitation.

It is a middle setting rather than either. Roughly chair-seat height, so a patient with adequate strength and no lower-limb restriction may be able to sit on the edge and place their feet on the floor — though for a patient in traction that is usually not the point. It is too low for comfortable standing care delivery by a taller member of staff, and too high to serve as a falls-mitigation setting in the way an adjustable low deck does. Treat it as a compromise fixed at the factory rather than as a clinical choice you can make at the bedside, and confirm the exact figure with the seller, since 500 mm is the published overall height.

The manufacturer's designation identifies a twin-crank frame, and the function set shows backrest elevation and leg-section elevation. Both are hand-operated. The angle ranges are not published, and neither is the effort per turn, the number of turns for full travel, or where the folded handles sit relative to the working aisle. All four matter in practice — effort determines whether a smaller member of staff can raise an occupied backrest without strain, and handle position determines whether the crank becomes a shin hazard in a narrow bay. Request the figures from the seller and, on a multi-bed order, ask to trial one.

Fowler's position describes the degree of upright sitting: semi-Fowler is roughly 30 to 45 degrees, high Fowler around 60 to 90, and full Fowler the upright end of that range. The manufacturer's product name asserts the full range, but no backrest angle figure is published, so this page does not state one. Ask the seller for the maximum backrest angle in degrees before ordering if upright sitting is the reason for purchase — the difference between a backrest that reaches 60 degrees and one that reaches 90 matters for eating safely, respiratory effort and how included a patient feels with visitors.

This needs a determination by your own competent person. The accepted test is principal function: a bed's principal function is to be a bed, so the frame itself is not generally treated as lifting equipment under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998. An overhead structure provided so a person can raise themselves, and from which traction loads are suspended, is a separate question. Where equipment used for lifting people falls in scope, LOLER requires thorough examination by a competent person at least every six months — half the twelve-month interval for load-only lifting equipment — with a written report. Settle it before the bed goes into service and budget for the examination if the answer is yes.

Not published, and two separate figures are needed. The deck safe working load governs the patient mass the bed supports. The overhead frame and grip load rating governs whether that same patient can safely pull their full weight on a triangle. They are not interchangeable, and where traction weights also hang from the frame the combined loading needs confirming. Request both in writing.

No accessory inventory is published. A working traction setup needs more than uprights and a crossbar: pulleys to redirect cord at the correct anatomical angle, weight hangers, calibrated weights usually in half-kilogram or one-kilogram increments, cord, and the appropriate skin or skeletal traction interface. Assume none is supplied unless the seller confirms otherwise, and check that anything offered fits the frame's tube diameter and clamp pattern.

Traction is a nursing regime that the equipment supports rather than replaces. Established practice is a check at least every eight hours confirming that cords run free and unobstructed, that weights hang clear of the floor and the bed frame, and that the patient has not shifted out of alignment — alongside routine neurovascular observations and pressure area checks. Position the bed in the bay so cords and weights are visible and reachable from the working side.

It suits an adult under fracture management or in skin or skeletal traction who has enough upper body strength to use an overhead triangle, on a ward whose moving and handling arrangements can absorb a fixed working height. It is not a general ward bed — the footprint is longer, the overhead structure limits access from above and complicates hoist use, and the absence of height adjustment removes both the carer-height working position and the low setting that supports supervised egress. For a patient with limited upper body strength, the grips give no benefit and can create a false expectation of independence.

Adult medical beds for UK use are assessed against BS EN 60601-2-52:2010+A1:2015, which covers basic safety and essential performance for adult medical beds and sets the dimensional requirements governing entrapment gaps — those apply regardless of power source, and are the reference MHRA guidance points to. Castors fall under BS ISO 22882:2016. IEC 60601-1 general electrical safety does not apply, since the frame carries no electrical parts as supplied — which also keeps it off the portable appliance testing schedule. Where the overhead frame is determined to be lifting equipment, LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998 apply to it.

Hebei Vanry Medical Devices Co., Ltd is a Chinese manufacturer established in 2009, with a bed and hospital furniture range exported internationally. The company's published material references FDA certification, a United States route that is not equivalent to CE marking or UKCA. No CE marking or UKCA position is evidenced in the literature available for this model, and this page makes no such claim. Request the declaration of conformity, certificate scope and current UKCA position from the seller at quotation, and treat that documentation as a condition of order. Device classification under the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002 is confirmed against the declaration at order.

The 960 mm deck width sits within common UK ward mattress sizing, so a standard replacement surface should fit — confirm the exact requirement with the seller. Two points matter for this population. Patients under traction are immobile for extended periods and carry meaningful pressure risk, so specify the surface against assessed risk with tissue viability input. And mattress depth raises the effective working surface above the fixed 500 mm deck, which pushes care delivery slightly higher still — worth factoring into the moving and handling assessment rather than treating the deck figure as final.

Packing dimensions and shipped mass are not published — request both, and pass the mass to estates for floor loading sign-off on upper floors. The overhead structure adds height above the deck, so confirm whether the assembled bed clears standard doorways. Plan a documented annual mechanical service covering crank mechanism and gearing, handle folding and locking, brake function, rail locking and fastener integrity, and add the overhead frame, its clamps and its grips to the schedule as load-bearing components. Crank gearboxes and pivot points take wear that a powered frame does not. Where LOLER is determined to apply, the six-monthly thorough examination sits alongside the annual service rather than inside it.
