Functional bed light with homely design The quality of the stay in a healthcare facility contributes significantly to the healing process. Typically, however, wards and patient rooms often appear uninviting due to the technical fixtures and medical necessities. The VITA MED bedside light system has been developed by the Zweithaler design studio, in collaboration with XAL and MEDGAS-Technik, with the aim of creating a more homely environment. It has been possible to create a pleasant room atmosphere by integrating key elements, such as the light module, standard rail unit and supply duct, in a...

VITA MED VITA MED is a modular lighting system that not only meets the high requirements of the hospital and healthcare sector, it also offers a high degree of freedom in planning and designing patient rooms. Radiating from the bed, the combined indirect/direct modules enable a pleasant spatial effect as well as targeted use as a reading and examination light. The indirect light component provides a pleasant illumination of the ceiling. The light insets can be controlled separately, so that the room light as well as the reading and examination light can be combined individually. The luminaire...

Pleasant, warm radiance Radiating from behind the bed, the wide-angle indirect light component provides homogeneous ceiling illumination and a pleasant ambience. The indirect distribution of light prevents glare for patients and nursing staff. The warm colour temperature of 3000 K ensures a positive atmosphere with consistently good examination light. Alternatively, the clearer, cooler 4000 K colour scheme can be used as the examination light. Light distributions Light and light quality are key factors for health. The correct lighting creates an atmosphere that supports patient recovery and provides...

Regulatory standards & specifications The products used by VITA MED comply with the basic performance specifications of the MDR - Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and Council of April 5, 2017. VITA MED is a modular supply unit for use in medical rooms and is manufactured strictly in accordance with the latest state of the art standards (EN ISO 11197:2019). The light insets from VITA MED meet all the key lighting requirements for patient rooms. Both the modified value of 200 lx and the minimum illuminance value of 100 lx, defined at floor level (see EN 124641:2021),...

Control light scenes automatically In using VITA MED, the desired light intensity in the room is the result of the combination of direct and indirect light insets. Thanks to user-friendly DALI control, available as an option, up to 16 light scenes can be saved and easily called up by staff using a touch panel. One possible option would be, for example, the combination of reading and examination light with two supplementary indirect light scenes. Up to 8 switching or dimming buttons and up to 4 dynamic light programs can be assigned on the optional master unit. One possible option is an automatic,...

The new XPECTRUM LED from XAL provides light with a positive biological influence on health. The reduced proportion of blue light and the increased cyan values minimise the exposure to blue light on the eye through natural frequency distribution. This stimulates the melanopic light response, which promotes concentration and improves the quality of sleep. The excellent colour rendering of CRI ≥ 98, with TM 30-15 Rf = 98 and Rg = 101, also enables improved visual comfort.

Modular system for every design need Indirect module Direct / indirect module The indirect module, with light inset, ensures even ceiling illumination and general lighting in the room. Where required, a blind cover can be used instead of the light inset. This module can be fitted with two light insets. Positioned above the bed, it provides ideal conditions for patient examinations due to the direct light component. Patients can use the direct module as a reading light, while the indirect light component ensures that the ceiling is evenly illuminated in the room. Where required, the light insets...

Mounting rail module Supply duct This module consists of a standard mounting rail unit that can be fitted with an indirect light inset. The two elements, which till now were managed separately, are combined both visually and functionally. The standard mounting rail provides space for attaching medical examination and supply devices, while the indirect light component contributes to the uniform illumination of the ceiling and general room lighting. A blind cover can be used, as an option, instead of the light insets. The supply duct offers a choice of three different depths and can be fitted,...

Easy to assemble and maintain VITA MED is based on a modular system that is easy to assemble and flexible, allowing it to adapt to current needs at any time. Due to the simple mounting, light insets of the corresponding module can be mounted, adjusted or maintained quickly and easily. The converter is also installed directly on the light insets and makes mounting easier. In addition, two terminals are fitted on each light insets, which electrically connect the individual modules to each other. The adaptability of the system also allows beds to be moved around flexibly, as the light insets or...

Supply duct In the first step, the supply duct is installed. This consists of a wall rail and a cover. The wall rail allows integration of cables as well as single and three phase power or medical gas fittings. The duct is then closed with the cover. End caps & line connectors Line connectors are used for mechanical and visual linking, to blend harmoniously into the overall appearance. This creates a visually appealing and homogeneous connection between the selected VITA MED modules, which is elegantly closed off with end caps. Modules Then the selected modules (mounting rail module, direct/indirect...
