TIDI Posey Over Mattress Sensor Pad

The TIDI Posey Over Mattress Sensor Pad is a critical safety accessory designed for fall prevention, as it immediately alerts caregivers when a fall-risk patient attempts to exit the bed unassisted.

This device operates as a pressure-sensitive switch and must be connected to a compatible Posey Alarm system to function.

Key Usage Details:

• Instant Notification: Upon sensing a change in pressure (patient leaving the pad), it instantly triggers the connected alarm, notifying supervising caregivers.
• Optimal Placement: The pad is designed for use over the mattress only. It can be strategically positioned under the patient’s shoulder or buttocks area.
• Intended Duration: To ensure hygiene and functional accuracy, the sensor pad is intended for single-patient use for a maximum stay of 30 days (usage duration may vary by specific variant).

Optimal placement is key to ensuring the pad immediately triggers the connected Posey Alarm upon sensing an unassisted exit attempt.
