IndiGo

IndiGo is the intuitive drive assistance that makes lighter transport available to any caregiver with just a touch – for safety and simplicity.

Transporting patients in hospital beds is a common patient handling task that can pose significant ergonomic risks for involved caregivers, such as nurses, porters and transport team members.(1) At Arjo, we believe the right transport assist solution should ensure you always have enough time and energy left for the job that matters most: caring for patients.

For hospitals looking to reduce ergonomic risk and support efficient workflows, IndiGo is the powered 5th wheel that aims to offer a helping hand in order to make every transport as safe, controlled and simple as possible.

Supports caregiver and patient safety
Intuitive ‘grab-and-go’ operation
Easy and seamless workflow integration

IndiGo can be supplied factory-fitted to new Enterprise and Citadel beds, or it can be retrofitted to select frames, including Enterprise 5000X, Enterprise 8000X, Enterprise 9000X and Citadel Patient Care System.

IndiGo is the breakthrough intuitive drive assist technology that enables a single caregiver to easily manoeuvre the hospital bed from any position – without the added complexity of separate controls or handles.

Intended use for IndiGo
For hospitals looking to reduce ergonomic risk and support
efficient workflows, IndiGo is the powered fifth wheel that is here to offer a helping hand.

IndiGo is intended to provide assistance for medical beds during patient transport. It should only be assembled on compatible Arjo medical beds and used by appropriately trained personnel.

Assembly, extensions, re-adjustments, modifications, technical
maintenance and repairs must be performed by qualified
personnel authorised by Arjo.

Existing power connection
Connects to the original bed power cord, re-routing to the bed control box

Installation and fitting
IndiGo can come factory-fitted on new Enterprise® and Citadel™ beds, or it can be retrofitted to select Arjo beds frames

Unique wheel activation
Engages and disengages via an integrated magnet attached to the brake pedal connection bar

Discreet low-profile design
150 mm clearance under the bed (except in the centre)

Robust swing arm
Designed to withstand the impact of lifters and other equipment docking to the bed

Blue activation light
Clearly indicates when the wheel is activated or when the battery is low
