Direct OEM factory solutions optimized for Belgian hospitals, clinics, and pediatric intensive care units (PICU). Every bed engineered in compliance with EN 60601-2-52 and EN 50637 safety standards.
The Belgian hospital network—spanning Flanders, Wallonia, and the Brussels-Capital Region—operates under stringent healthcare regulations enforced by the Federal Public Service (FPS) Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment alongside regional accreditation bodies such as Zorg en Gezondheid. Procurement officers across leading university centers like UZ Leuven, CHU de Liège, Hôpital Erasme, and UZA Antwerp face complex demands when specifying pediatric care infrastructure.
Unlike standard adult hospital beds, pediatric medical beds are governed by dedicated safety norms designed to prevent infant entrapment, accidental falls, and psychological stress. As a specialized OEM Pediatric Hospital Bed Manufacturer, Gita Mediquip provides direct-from-factory solutions engineered specifically to exceed European Standard EN 50637:2017 (Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of medical beds for children) and EN 60601-2-52.
To ensure complete compliance with the EU Medical Devices Regulation (MDR 2017/745), our custom manufacturing process integrates rigorous physical testing criteria:
From specialized Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) to home care pediatric transition programs under Belgian RIZIV/INAMI frameworks, our OEM beds are tailored for specific care environments.
For critical care environments in Belgian academic medical centers, our 5-function electric beds feature rapid mechanical CPR release levers on both sides, X-ray translucent backrests for bed-side diagnostic imaging, and integrated IV pole sockets. The Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg tilt (+16°/-16°) enables rapid hemodynamic stabilization during acute respiratory or cardiac failure.
Post-operative recovery demands precision body positioning. Our 3-function electric beds allow synchronized backrest (0-75°) and knee-rest (0-45°) elevation, mitigating abdominal wall tension post-surgery. Removable high-impact ABS head and footboards grant surgeons and nurses 360-degree immediate access to the young patient during emergency procedures.
Under Belgian health insurance reimbursement models (RIZIV/INAMI), chronic pediatric care is increasingly migrating toward home care and specialized pediatric rehabilitation centers. Our continuous lateral turning beds facilitate automated pressure ulcer relief for immobilized children, reducing caregiver physical strain while preventing skin breakdown during multi-month recoveries.
Strategic insights for hospital procurement groups, medical equipment distributors, and OEM buyers operating within Western Europe.

Founded in 1987 in Ahmedabad, India, Gita Mediquip Pvt. Ltd. has grown into an international leader in medical furniture manufacturing. With over 35 years of engineering history, our state-of-the-art facilities produce pediatric beds, ICU beds, bedside lockers, and operation theatre equipment trusted by premier hospital groups including Apollo Hospitals, Zydus Hospitals, and Manipal Hospitals.
For the Belgian and European B2B buyer, we bridge the gap between premium international quality standards and cost-effective OEM production. Our direct-factory model grants healthcare procurement managers complete flexibility to request custom bed dimensions, bespoke siderail configurations, custom voltage electronics (230V 50Hz EU plugs), and white-label branding.
Heavy-gauge cold rolled steel structure guaranteeing structural stability under dynamic load testing up to 250kg.
Automated robotic electrostatic powder coating creating a non-porous, corrosion-resistant, bacterial-repelling finish.
Bespoke side-rail height, embedded controls, specific caster diameters, and regional language labelling.
Direct containerized ocean freight to Port of Antwerp-Bruges with full CE technical documentation packages.
Addressing key technical, regulatory, logistics, and customization questions for healthcare buyers in Belgium and Western Europe.
Yes. All pediatric hospital beds manufactured for the Belgian and broader EU market are designed and tested according to EN 50637:2017. This includes strict adherence to pediatric body gap dimensions (<60mm siderail spacing), anti-entrapment headboard geometry, low noise motor actuation, and safety lockouts preventing accidental movement by pediatric patients.
Absolutely. As a direct factory manufacturer, we offer full OEM/ODM services. Belgian hospital tenders often require specific dimensions, specialized side-rail designs, custom frame colors (psychologically soothing for children), integrated scale systems, or specific central-locking caster diameters (e.g., 125mm or 150mm Tente casters). We provide CAD drawing verification and sample production prior to mass production.
We provide a complete technical dossier required for Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 compliance. This includes the EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC), CE certificates, ISO 13485 quality management certificate, ISO 14001 environmental compliance documentation, test reports for EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-2 (EMC), EN 60601-2-52, and EN 50637, as well as multi-language instruction manuals (Dutch/French/English).
Our standard production lead time for FCL (Full Container Load) OEM orders ranges between 20 to 30 days post sample approval. Ocean transit from our manufacturing plant near western ports to the Port of Antwerp-Bruges typically takes 22 to 28 days. In total, Belgian clients can expect door-to-door or port-to-port delivery within 6 to 8 weeks from order confirmation.
We provide a comprehensive 5-year structural warranty on the CRCA steel bed frame and a 2-year warranty on electric motors, control boxes, and actuators. For Belgian distributors and hospital maintenance departments, we supply 2% free wearable spare parts (hand controllers, gas springs, caster locks) with bulk container shipments and guarantee long-term spare part availability for 10 years post-production.
Yes. Our beds undergo a multi-stage chemical pre-treatment process followed by automated electrostatic powder coating cured at 200°C. The surface finish is rigorously tested against hospital-grade chemical disinfectants commonly used in Belgian facilities, including quaternary ammonium compounds, chlorine-releasing agents, hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV), and alcohol-based sanitizers without fading, peeling, or rusting.
Whether you are a medical equipment importer in Brussels, a hospital procurement director in Flanders, or an engineering firm bidding on Walloon pediatric hospital tenders, our engineering team is ready to supply custom OEM pediatric and medical beds built to exact European standards.
