Fall Prevention Monitoring System

The Bed-Check System is a fall prevention monitoring system that offers patient safety while allowing restraint reduction. The system has a call signal that is registered at the nursing station as well as in the patient's room. The nursing staff can counsel the patient to wait for assistance. This safety feature for the nursing staff automatically resets monitoring 10 seconds after returning the patient to the bed. The system is easily transferred to any patient bed or room. The control unit is lightweight and is easily attached to the bed with a Velcro strap or holster out of sight and reach of the patient.

The system's alarm delay permits normal movement and shifting of weight in bed by the patient without triggering the alarm and causing false alarms. The delay, which is adjustable from one to nine seconds, is the time the patient may have weight off the sensor mat before the alarm sounds. The hold option allows the staff to assist the patient out of bed or administer to the patient without sounding the alarm. A disposable, pressure-sensitive mat is heat-sealed to allow for incontinent patients and is thin enough to be comfortable when placed under the patient's pelvic area. This mat is placed on top of the mattress, beneath the sheet and across the width of the bed.
