Prime Care P903 Hi-Lo Adjustable Bed – 600 lb Capacity
Drive DeVilbiss Prime Care P903 Full Electric Long-Term Care Low Bed
Integrated Push-Button Bariatric Width Expansion, Adjustable Length Sleep Surface, and Super-Low 7" to 30" Travel Range Rated for 600 lbs
The Drive DeVilbiss Prime Care P903 Long-Term Care Low Bed delivers a premier, clinically advanced heavy-duty patient positioning platform meticulously engineered to combine elite injury prevention with exceptional bariatric versatility. Standard facility or homecare beds are typically locked into fixed mattress dimensions, forcing medical teams to swap entire bed frames as patient weights, respiratory conditions, or custom therapy protocols shift. The P903 eliminates these logistical bottlenecks by incorporating tool-free width and length expansion systems directly into the framework, enabling immediate adjustments to protect patient dignity and comfort.
Constructed from heavy-gauge structural steel, this full-electric low bed features a robust, easy-to-clean welded slat support deck rated for a 600-pound maximum weight capacity. At the press of an expansion button, the slumber deck effortlessly shifts between 36", 39", or 42" widths, while the integrated length extension adjusts across 80", 84", or 88" setups to safely fit the tallest patients. Driven by a quiet, 4-motor DC system, the P903 maneuvers smoothly between a 7-inch low profile—designed to mitigate roll-out injury risks—and a 30-inch high working level to optimize caregiver transfer ergonomics. Complete with a 10-function backlit hand pendant featuring pre-programmed Auto Contour and relaxed seating configurations, this premium bariatric platform delivers uncompromising long-term clinical reliability.
Key Features & Benefits
- Tool-Free Push-Button Sizing: Expands smoothly from a standard 36" wide profile up to 39" or 42" bariatric widths, paired with length selections of 80", 84", or 88" to fit diverse therapy mattresses.
- Premium 7" to 30" Travel Range: Drops to an ultra-low 7 inches off the floor to safeguard high-risk fall patients, and rises to a 30-inch upper boundary to ease caregiver strain during physical therapy or linen changes.
- Advanced 10-Function Hand Pendant: Backlit interface provides precise, quiet management of the headrest, leg lift, overall frame height, and specialized positions like the Cardiac Comfort Chair.
- Synchronized Hi/Lo Electronic Actuators: Employs four independent DC motors calibrated to raise and lower the frame uniformly, maintaining a perfectly level therapeutic horizon during travel.
- Heavy-Duty Slat Support Deck: Welded, non-sag steel slat grid delivers rigid, uniform mattress support, optimizing pressure redistribution and simplifying sanitization.
- Color-Coded Dual-Pedal Floor Lock: Features a simplified mechanical braking interface that secures the entire platform instantly or releases smoothly for transition control.

Bariatric Specialist Insight: High-weight capacity beds often look clinical and require external bolts to modify sizing. The Drive P903 stands out because its width expansion mechanism is fully integrated and operated with a quick push-button catch. The bed rolls smoothly at any height position via its heavy-duty dual-footprint casters, allowing rapid emergency room repositioning without requiring the frame to be dropped to a designated transit notch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the headboard, footboard, and assist rails included with this base P903 frame package?
No. To allow medical facilities and residential care spaces to match individual room designs and custom safety regulations, the bed ends (available in distinct Mill Creek or Brownlee Woods styles) and rotating assist bars or split side rails are sold separately as customizable add-on components.
Can the Prime Care P903 bed achieve advanced medical positions like Trendelenburg?
Yes. While the standard 10-function patient hand pendant controls standard head, foot, auto-contour, and chair leveling, the P903 is fully Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg capable. Activating these advanced medical angles requires the attachment of the optional embedded staff control panel.
What mattress dimensions are recommended when utilizing the width expansion functions?
Because the metal deck expands seamlessly, you must pair the bed with an appropriately sized expandable foam or specialized bariatric alternating pressure air mattress. For example, if you expand the framework to its 42" wide setting, ensure you swap or adjust your surface layer to a corresponding 42-inch wide therapeutic mattress to maintain safe containment and skin protection borders.
