Span America Gooseneck Pendant Holder, Head and Foot Board Mount

The Savaria Gooseneck Pendant Holder, Head and Foot Board Mount (manufacturer code Q6417LP) holds the bed hand pendant on a bendable arm mounted to a head board or a foot board. Span-America prints it in the Rexx and Rexx Fast item-code table and in the Advantage options and accessories list, where it is described as the gooseneck headboard-mounted pendant holder. Westin Healthcare supplies and fits Span bed parts in Brampton and across the Greater Toronto Area.

The difference between this and the plain board holder is reach. A gooseneck arm bends and holds its shape, so the pendant can be brought toward the person's hand rather than left flat against the board. That matters for someone who can work the bed controls but cannot stretch for them.

Which beds this fits

Span-America names this code against two bed families, and Savaria lists the same accessory as an option on a third.

• Span Rexx and Rexx Fast beds: QD2000, QD2000Y, QD2250, QD2250Y, and the mobility, floor lock, and foot end control builds. Printed as "Rexx gooseneck pendant holder - board mount" in that family's item-code table.
• Span Advantage and Advantage ReadyWide beds, including MC7W, MC7WM, MC7WL, and MC7WML. Printed as "Gooseneck headboard-mounted pendant holder" in the Span long term care options and accessories spread that carries the ReadyWide code table.
• Span Encore: Savaria lists a gooseneck headboard-mounted pendant holder in the Encore customization list. The Encore code table does not print the part number beside it, so we confirm the code and the board with Savaria before an Encore order ships rather than assume the two lines are the same part.

The bed needs a head board or a foot board. Span builds its beds with permanent or removable end panels, so a bed ordered without boards has nothing for a board mount to clamp to.

This is a board mount, not a rail mount, and the distinction decides which part you need. Span makes a rail-mounted gooseneck under a different code, Q6414LP, for RAD306H rails, and a side rail mount, Q6591, on the Rexx Fast. If your bed has no boards, or you want the pendant on the rail, one of those is the right part and this one is not. Tell us where you want the pendant and we will match the code.

Worth knowing before you order: Span supplies a recessed pendant holder as standard with its rails, and it can face the pendant toward the user or toward the caregiver. If that already puts the control where it needs to be, you may not need this part. The gooseneck earns its place when the pendant has to come out to the person.

For the plain plastic version that sits against the board without an arm, see the Savaria bed pendant holder, board mount.

Savaria gooseneck pendant holder specifications

Span-America publishes the item-code line for this part and not much else, and we would rather print the confirmed facts than fill a table with guesses. The manufacturer describes Q6417LP as a gooseneck pendant holder that mounts to a board. It holds the bed hand pendant on a bendable arm. It carries the Span bed accessory warranty term of one year. It is a passive part with no electrical connection, so it does not change the bed's own ratings.

Span does not publish an arm length or a reach figure for this code, so you will not find one here. If reach is the deciding factor for a particular room layout, call us and we will get the measurement from Savaria before you commit.

Clean it the way Span asks you to clean the bed. A damp cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild detergent, or a diluted neutral disinfectant, is what the owner manual specifies. Do not use solvents, alcohol, or petroleum products on the surface, and do not put bed parts through a high pressure wash tunnel.

Bringing the control within reach, safely

A gooseneck holder is about access, so the manufacturer's warning about access belongs on the same page. The Span owner manuals for the Encore and the Advantage ReadyWide both state that patients with diminished mental awareness should not be allowed access to the pendant, because they may become entangled in the cable. Both manuals also state that cables, including the power supply cord, must not be damaged by rolling the bed over them, and that cords must not be left frayed or damaged.

Read together, that is a clear picture of who this part is for. Bring the pendant out on the arm for a person who is alert, who understands the controls, and who benefits from working the bed themselves. Where a resident should not have pendant access, mount the holder on the foot board out of reach, or leave the pendant on the recessed rail holder and use the foot end controller for staff adjustments. The foot end controller on these beds has a staff lockout for exactly that reason.

Service, repairs, and warranty

When something on the bed or an accessory needs work, you call the shop that supplied it, not a US parts desk. Westin Healthcare has a service and repairs department and our technicians come to the home or the workplace.

Span manufacturer warranty

Span Medical Products Canada warrants beds and bed accessories against defects in workmanship and materials under normal and proper use from the date of initial delivery. Bed accessories carry one year. Batteries, hand pendants, foot end controllers, and cables carry one year. Electrical components, meaning the control box and the actuators, carry five years. The frame and all welds on steel structural components carry fifteen years. The manufacturer warranty does not cover labour for service, and fitting parts from other manufacturers to a Span bed invalidates it. We handle the claim with you.

Frequently asked questions

What is the manufacturer code?

Q6417LP. Span-America describes it as the Rexx gooseneck pendant holder for board mount, and as the gooseneck headboard-mounted pendant holder in the Advantage options list. Savaria lists it as the gooseneck pendant holder, head and foot board mounted.

Which beds does it fit?

The Rexx and Rexx Fast family and the Advantage and Advantage ReadyWide family are both printed by Span. Savaria also lists a gooseneck headboard-mounted pendant holder as an Encore option, and we confirm that code with Savaria before an Encore order ships. Tell us your bed model when you order.

Does it mount on the rail or on the board?

The board. If you need it on a rail, the rail-mounted gooseneck is a different code, Q6414LP for RAD306H rails, and the Rexx Fast side rail version is Q6591. Ask us and we will order the right one.

Does my bed need a head board or a foot board?

Yes. Span builds beds with permanent or removable end panels, and a board mount needs a panel to clamp to.

How far does the arm reach?

Span does not publish a reach or arm-length figure for this code, so we do not quote one. If reach decides the order for you, call us and we will get the measurement from Savaria first.

How is this different from the plain board holder?

The plain holder, Q6416LP, sits flat against the board. This one holds the pendant out on a bendable arm that keeps its shape, so the control can be positioned toward the person's hand.

Should every resident have the pendant within reach?

No, and Span says so directly. The owner manuals warn that patients with diminished mental awareness should not be allowed access to the pendant because of the cable. For those residents, park the pendant out of reach and use the foot end controller, which has a staff lockout.

How do I clean it?

The same way Span asks you to clean the bed. A damp cloth or sponge, warm water with a mild detergent or a diluted neutral disinfectant, and no solvents, alcohol, or petroleum products. Do not pressure wash it.

What is the warranty?

One year, the Span bed accessory term. Labour for service is not part of the manufacturer warranty. Our service department handles the claim with you.
