Before You Begin

The Posey Sensor Pad, in conjunction with a Posey Alarm, is an important part of your fall management protocols. Ensure all parts of this system are operational before leaving a patient unattended. This system does not prevent falls or injury from falls and is not a substitute for patient care, caregiver attention and a comprehensive fall management protocol in your facility.

• This device may not be suitable for all high fall-risk patients. See Posey catalog for other options for such patients.
• NEVER use a restraint on a patient during toileting with this product.
• To prevent damage, NEVER roll, fold, or crease sensor pad.
• NEVER connect Posey sensor pads to other manufacturers’ alarms.
• NEVER connect Posey alarms to other manufacturers’ sensor pads.

Application Instructions:

1. Read all sensor pad and alarm instructions prior to use.

2. Check sensor pad, cord and plug for damage.
   Discard entire sensor pad if there is any damage.

3. Fill in expiration date on sensor pad.

4. Remove backing from adhesive patch.

5. Place sensor pad under the front center of the commode seat so that with the seat down, it rests on the top center of the bar at the front of the commode.

6. Press the sensor pad firmly against the commode seat for maximum contact.

7. Route the sensor pad cord to the Posey alarm and insert the plug. Check that sensor pad cord is not stressed.

8. Place the two cord clips with adhesive backing on the underside of the commode seat (on the right facing side) in order to secure the cord off the floor, prevent a tripping hazard and interference with lowering or lifting commode seat and removing bucket.

9. Make sure alarm is securely mounted on the rear upper cross bar of the commode before leaving patient alone. Alarm may also be mounted to wall closest to commode. NOTE: Before using this sensor pad, a Posey Fall Alarm must be securely mounted near commode, out of the patient’s reach.

Always locate alarm away from potential splashes from commode.
NOT for use on toilet seats.

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death:

1. ALWAYS test sensor pad before leaving patient unattended.
   • Apply pressure to the commode seat and then release. Alarm should activate when you remove pressure.
   • If sensor pad fails any test, stop use at once and replace with a new sensor pad.
   • Sensor pads past warranty expiration date may fail, causing false alarm or no alarm.

2. Staff should ALWAYS be nearby and ready to respond if alarm activates.

3. NEVER jerk or pull on sensor pad cord to remove plug. Doing so will damage the cord or plug and may cause sensor pad to fail. ALWAYS use plastic tab to release plug.

4. If you remove alarm unit after patient has finished using commode, make sure sensor pad cord is out of the footpath and does not pose a tripping hazard.

5. NEVER roll, fold or crease sensor pad. This will damage sensor pad and may cause false alarm or no alarm.

Cleaning:

• Make sure sensor pad has no visible cuts or signs of damage.
• Dampen a clean cloth with disinfectant. Take extra care when cleaning sensor pad plugs.
• NEVER: use any cleaner that contains Phenol; immerse in liquid; or sterilize with heat.
• Dry with a clean cloth.
