Zusammenfassung:A medical device mounting system 1 is disclosed for connecting a medical device suite to ceiling support structure. The system 1 includes a plurality of portions connected to form a box beam structure that has high strength and high rigidity to withstand substantial bending loads associated with heavy medical device suites. The system includes a structure connection portion 6 for engaging ceiling structure, a central mounting panel portion 2, and a base plate portion 4 for engaging the medical device suite at or above the ceiling panel level CP. The mounting panel portion 2 includes multiple mounting panels formed into a box beam shape, including longitudinal 8, 10, lateral 8B and diagonal 8C members (see figure 4A). The base plate portion forms an egg-crate structure (see figure 6A). The structure connection portion includes a plurality of tubular members that connect to longitudinal members of the mounting panel portion, and a plurality of plate portions that facilitate fixation of the assembly to ceiling structure (see figures 7D or 8A).
