The Early-Alert bed sensor pad (The Bed Pad)
The Early-Alert system
Unlike all the other bed sensor pads on the market, we have developed an innovative Early-Alert system that reduces the false negatives and is able to detect when a patient is about to leave the bed. Traditional systems only detect when there is no pressure directly applied to the bed sensor pad, so it is possible for a patient to move towards the end of the bed pad and even put their feet on the floor, but as they still have their butts on the pad the alarm won’t sound until they have totally stood up. That sounds very dangerous, doesn’t it?
good thing that was the past! 0ur bed sensor pad has two different sensor zones: The Low False Alarm Zone. located at the center of the pad, and the Early-Alert zones, are located at the sides of the pad. For those using the pad in a queen-sized. king-sized or beds with only one side to exit, or even for persons who are restless sleepers that move a lot, it is possible to program it so only the exit side where the transmitter is| will trigger the alarm using the Early-Alert function, while the other side, remains in a normal/ traditional setting.
Selecting the Pad Settings
- Flip the bed pad to the instructions side and open the transmitter pocket to access the 3-way switch on the transmitter module. It is placed at the neck/end of the pad. The default position is OFF. We do that to maximize the battery life of the transmitter!
- aux-Only will activate the Early-Alert function only on the transmitter side of the bed sensor pad. This means that the alarm will go off when a patient is sitting on the “TX” side edge of the sensor pad and about to leave their bed. The other side remains in the normal setting |which means the alarm will sound when the patient leaves their bed OR there is no longer pressure on the bed pad). We recommend using this setting in large (double beds, beds with only one side to exit, when there are many low false alarms, or the patient is moving a lot,
- ‘Both sides” will enable the Early-Alert function on both sides of the bed sensor pad. We recommend using this setting in twin-size beds or small beds with two Sides to exit.
- “OFF” is how we ship it so we don’t shorten the battery life as its batteries can’t be replaced. The only time you should put it in this setting is when you are not going to use the bed pad for long periods of time and want to save on battery life!
Where to place the bed pad & how to secure the pad
- IMPORTANT! NEVER PLACE THE PAD ON TOP OF THE BEDSHEET. THIS LEADS TO SLIDING & FALSE ALARMS.
- We have included four non-slip stickers that can be applied to the backside of the pad. Please place them in the four corners of the pad.
To secure the pad
- Position the sensor pad on top of a flat mattress or mattress cover never below!. beneath the hips of the patient. The neck of the sensor pad should hang off the side of the bed. In a king or queen bed, the pad should be placed on one side of the mattress. never in the middle!
- Secure the clips to the rubber bands as shown in the picture to the right
- Loop the rubber bands with the clips through the eyelets as shown on the right
- Repeat for all 4 eyelets.
- Clip to the mattress or mattress cover to secure the pad (4. Bands should be pulled tight!
- Cover the sensor pad with a fitted sheet so it stays in place. This will reduce false alarms!
Non-slip stickers, clips, bands, and a fitted sheet will prevent the pad from moving!
In case of false alarms
Make sure the pad is beneath the user’s hips. If it’s placed beneath the lower back or legs. it may not detect the user’s weight properly and could trigger an alarm when the patient shifts her weight in the bed. Make sure the pad is secured and in the correct position EACH DAY when making the bed. Make sure the pad settings on the transmitter are set up correctly |TX-only for double, Both-sides for Twin.
The Monitor (The Pager)
Battery Cover & Batteries
To Comply with shipping and warehouse regulations we have to ship the monitor pagerl without the batteries inside of the pager. We have included a small Screwdriver and shipped it with the battery cover unscrewed for your convenience!
Simply insert the 2 x AA batteries (the most common ones in the battery compartment following the and- symbols. Cover the battery compartment with the battery cover and screw it with the screwdriver provided. The life of the battery will vary based on usage. You are ready to start using your pager! NOTE: unlike the batteries in the built-in transmitter module of the bed sensor pad and chair sensor pad, which can’t be replaced. The 2xAA batteries of the monitor CAN be replaced.
