Product Code
Definition
The fall-prevention alarm/sensor is a combination device that can attach to a person usually by a clip or belt OR it can be used unattached to the person, where the person sits upon it.
Physical State
This fall prevention alarm can be used two way. It can attach to a person's body or clothing or it can be used unattached where the person sits upon the sensor pad as with devices cleared under product code KMI.
Technical Method
The alarm activates when weight is applied to the sensor changes or the magnet clip disconnects from the alarm. This alarm may be connected to the Nurse Call System. If the alarm is connected to the hospital's Nurse Call System, the nurse call station signal activates. This device may also use an AC-power adaptor to power the alarm instead of batteries. The adaptor does not charge the batteries.
Target Area
Device can be used two different ways: 1) attached to the person or 2) not attached to the person. If used attached to the person, it can be applied to a person's clothing by use of the clip or it is worn around a person's waist via the belt. It is not to be used on the head or neck areas. If the belt is used, only the belt is applied around the person's waist. The belt is not looped around or through any chair, bed or furnituOrre so it does not act as a restraint. If the device not not attached, the patient sits or lies upon the sensor pad.
