Frequently asked questions

How does this sensor pad prevent patient falls?

The TIDI Posey Stretcher Sensor Pad is a key accessory in a fall prevention system, designed to monitor fall-risk patients on stretchers or mattresses. It works by alerting caregivers the instant a patient attempts to leave the surface unassisted.

This pad must be connected to a compatible Posey Alarm system (not included) to function.

The system’s fall prevention mechanism involves:

  • Pressure Monitoring: The pad is placed under the patient and registers their presence via pressure.
  • Egress Detection: If the patient attempts to exit the surface, the pad detects the resulting drop or shift in pressure.
  • Immediate Alert: This change triggers an alarm on the connected Posey unit, ensuring swift caregiver response and timely intervention to prevent patient falls.

The pad is intended for reliable, single-patient use for a duration of up to 15 days.

Is the sensor pad compatible with Posey Alarms?

Yes, the TIDI Posey Stretcher Sensor Pad is fully compatible and designed for seamless integration with Posey Alarms.

This sensor pad is a critical component of a fall prevention monitoring system:

  • It detects when a fall-risk patient attempts to exit a stretcher or mattress without assistance.
  • The integrated cord connects directly to the compatible Posey Alarm unit (required, but sold separately).
  • Once triggered, the alarm provides an immediate alert for caregiver intervention.
What is the reliable lifespan of the sensor pad?
