When the hand control on an electric couch fails, the couch is stuck at whatever height it was left at, and the whole room slows down. This hand control is the replacement handset that drives the powered height and section adjustment on an electric couch.
Getting it replaced restores what the powered couch was bought for: setting the working height for the clinician on a long treatment list and dropping it low for a patient who steps up or transfers on. A handset that works also keeps staff out of manual lifting they should not be doing.
