Span America Advantage USB Charging Port QD1000, Factory Installed

The Span America Advantage USB Charging Port QD1000, Factory Installed (manufacturer code Q6766) puts a USB charging point on a Span Advantage QD1000 bed, built in at the factory before the bed ships. Savaria's 2026 range prints the line as "Advantage USB Port QD1000, FACTORY INSTALL". Westin Healthcare specifies, supplies and services Span beds in Brampton and across the Greater Toronto Area.

A resident with a phone, a tablet or a hearing aid case needs somewhere to charge it. Without a port on the bed, that means an extension cord across the floor of a room where people transfer, and a cord on the floor is a fall waiting to happen.

Factory install, and why it is the cheaper way round

Q6766 is the code you add to a new bed order. The kit goes on at Span's plant before the bed ships, so the bed arrives with the port already in place and nobody has to open anything up in a resident's room. If the bed is already in service, this is the wrong code and Q6761 is the right one.

Savaria prices the two install modes separately across every option family in the 2026 range, which is Savaria telling you this is an ordering decision rather than a packaging detail. Decide it once, at quote stage, while the bed is still on paper.

Which beds this fits

This code is for the Span Advantage Q-Series, the QD1000 and QD1000Y builds. Span supplies a different USB code for each of its other bed platforms and for each install mode, which makes six codes in the 2026 range.

Two beds that both say "Advantage" on the label are not the same platform. The QD1000 is the Q-Series Advantage. The MC7 is the Advantage ReadyWide, and there is a quick test on site: the ReadyWide and the Encore have SmartStop low-position auto-pause, and the QD1000 does not. The QD1000 owner manual has no mention of it at all. If you are still not sure, call (905) 451-7743 with the model and serial number from the bed label and we will identify the platform before anything is ordered.

The Plus is a gap, and we will say so

The Advantage ReadyWide Plus, the MC7WP built on LINAK controls, has no USB port code printed against it anywhere in the 2026 Savaria range. Savaria prints LINAK-specific codes for that bed in other accessory families, so the absence is worth noticing rather than assuming. If you need a charging point on a Plus, ask us and we will put the question to Savaria in writing rather than send you a code that was meant for a different control system.

What Savaria does not publish

Savaria names this accessory. The Encore product card lists a "USB Charging Kit" among that bed's accessories, and the 2026 range supplies the code and the install split. What no Savaria document supplies is the port itself: no count, no connector type, no output current, no wattage, and no mounting position. We checked the SPAN Advantage brochure item code table, which prints twenty-four codes and no USB code among them, and the Advantage owner manual, which does not contain the word USB.

So we will not tell you it is USB-C, and we will not tell you it will fast charge a tablet. If your specification depends on a connector or a current, ask us and we will get it from Savaria in writing before you order. Guessing on a spec sheet is how the wrong part ends up on a bed.

What it does not change

• The bed's rating. The Advantage QD1000 safe working load stays 500 lb (227 kg), and Span states that figure already includes the patient, the head and foot panels, the mattress, the side rails and accessories.
• The bed's travel. It still runs 7-7/8 inches to 30 inches, 0 to 70 degrees on the back deck and 0 to 30 degrees on the knee deck.
• The bed's electrical rating. The Advantage is 120/60/1 at a maximum 3.5 A, Class I Type B, IPX4.
• The warranty structure. This is a bed accessory, so the Span term is one year, labour excluded, with an RMA required on a return.
