Frequently asked questions
Does the pad protect against fluids?
Yes, the pad is encased in a water-resistant vinyl covering. This durable material protects the internal silver membrane sensors from moisture and incontinence, making it easy to wipe clean with disinfectant.
How long will this sensor pad last?
This pad is designed for a one-year service life. To ensure you stay within this window, there is a designated area on the pad to record the start and end dates of its use.
Is this safe for someone with a latex allergy?
Yes, this product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safer option for patients with latex sensitivities.
Can I fold the pad for storage?
No, you should not fold the sensor pad. Folding can damage the sensitive internal electronics. It should remain flat to maintain its functionality and reliability.
Does this replace the need for constant monitoring?
No, this device is an aid for patient monitoring and is not a substitute for direct visual observation by a caregiver. It is designed to provide timely alerts to assist in proactive safety measures.
Can I use this pad for multiple patients?
It is recommended to use a new sensor pad for each patient. This practice helps minimize the spread of infection and ensures the pad is hygienic and performing correctly for the new user.
Should I test the system before use?
Yes, caregivers should test the system daily or before each use to ensure that the alarm properly triggers when pressure is removed. Regular testing is essential for reliable fall prevention.
How do I clean the sensor pad?
You can clean the pad by wiping it down with disinfectant wipes or anti-bacterial cleaners. Please note that you should never immerse the pad in liquid or use high-temperature sanitizers.
Is this compatible with all alarm monitors?
This pad is engineered for use with standard fall prevention bed alarm monitors. While it is designed to work with most systems, it is recommended for use with compatible McKesson fall prevention monitors to ensure seamless integration.
Where should I position the pad on the bed?
For optimal monitoring, the pad should be placed discreetly under the resident, typically positioned beneath the shoulders or the hips to accurately detect when a patient attempts to exit the bed.
