How the Bed-Check System WorksBed-Check® Fall Management System Setup & User Guide 3How the Bed-Check System WorksWhen the resident’s weight on the Sensormat pad is removed for a pre-selected number of seconds (either 0.75 or 2.75 seconds), the Monitor emits an alarm tone to let staff know that the resident is no longer on the Sensormat pad, is in an unsafe position, and needs immediate assistance. A Supervision alarm is an audible alarm that occurs when the resident is on the pad and:• Communication with the pad Transmitter being monitored is lost because the Transmitter has moved out of range or failed, or• The Transmitter is switched off while monitoring.The alarm can be cancelled by pressing the button on the monitor.If a Nurse Call system is connected, the Monitor triggers an alarm similar to a panic button press on a bedside pendant switch. The staff member, having been alerted that a resident is attempting to exit the bed, can counsel the resident by intercom (if available), and send immediate assistance.Normal Usage RoutineEach time the system is put into use, a specific set of tasks must be performed to ensure that the system is operating correctly and is effectively monitoring a resident. Each task listed below refers you, when necessary, to the section in this guide with the detailed instructions for that task. Gather the equipment together: Monitor, Transmitter, Pad. Connect the transmitter to the pad. See “Connecting the Cordless Transmitter” on page 8. Activate the monitor and then associate it with the transmitter. See “Associating the Cordless Monitor with the Transmitter” on page 10. Test the system. Follow the test procedure printed on the pad, or see “Testing the Sensormat Pad Before First Use” on page 11. Position the resident on the bed or chair. Press the monitor button to conrm that the system is monitoring the resident on the pad. Look for the ??second solid green light on the Status LED.??? When an alarm occurs, follow your facility’s alarm response proce-dures before resetting the monitor. To remove the resident from the pad, see “Temporary Disable Mode” on page 16.

This bumper is not made with natural rubber latex.The caregiver can tap the button on the front of the Monitor at any time without disrupting the monitoring session. The Monitor displays its state for 2.4 seconds. When no button is pressed and the Monitor is monitoring a resident on the pad, the Monitor flashes its GREEN LED once every minute.State changes are triggered by incoming events such as:• A short press for less than 3 seconds on the button on the front of the Monitor• A long press lasting more than 3 seconds on the button on the front of Monitor• A press of the Handshake button on the back of the Monitor• Pad on/off status• Transmitter being switched on or off• A lack of communication with the Transmitter for 90 seconds• A change to the Nurse Call jack (plugged or unplugged)• Low battery statusAlarm Reset ButtonThe Alarm Reset button is located on the front of the Monitor. All audio alarms can be muted by a simple tap of the Monitor’s button. The Alarm Reset button is also used to put the Monitor into Sleep Mode (see “Understanding LEDs and Audible Tones” on page 7).Button press timing duration variations are as follows:• Short tap - less than 3 seconds - used to activate the Monitor, display the Monitor’s status and cancel any audible alarms.• Long press - more than 3 seconds - used to either temporarily disable the monitor (only when monitoring a resident), or put the Monitor to sleep.Reminder: Tap the Alarm Reset button at any time to check the monitoring status. Always check the monitoring status whenever you activate a new Bed-Check monitoring session, or place a resident on the pad.RED Alarm LED The left-most LED is bright RED, and is only used to signify that an unexpected pad exit has occurred, the resident is at risk of falling, and immediate caregiver response is required.The alarm LED is easily seen from a distance of 4 m from the Monitor in normal facility lighting conditions as long as no direct sunlight is falling on the Monitor.
Cordless Monitor6 Bed-Check® Fall Management System Setup & User GuideBi-Color Status LEDThis LED indicates Monitor and pad Transmitter status.Generally:• GREEN indicates successful communication with a pad Transmitter and, if repeated once per minute with a flash lasting half a second or more, that there is a resident being monitored on the pad• YELLOW indicates equipment trouble, including low battery or supervision alarms when communication are lost. YELLOW accompanied by the trouble tone indicates a problem that prevents monitoring a resident on the pad.LED use during normal conditions is minimized to help extend the Monitor’s battery life. Sound OpeningThe sound opening allows the alarm to be annunciated from the Monitor.ClipUse the clip to attach the Monitor to a wheelchair.Battery CoverThe battery cover is used to protect the batteries and the settings area (Volume, Tone, etc.).

Press the Alarm Reset button on the Monitor for more than 3 seconds.2. A 2 minute timer is set. The Status LED ashes GREEN until the time expires, before the Monitor resumes monitoring the resident. A single ash sequence indicates that less than 1 minute remains.3. The resident can now be placed on, or removed from the pad, or the Nurse Call cord may be inserted or removed without triggering an alarm.4. When the timer runs out, or the button is pressed for less than 3 seconds, the Monitor resumes normal operation. If the resident is still o the pad, or the Nurse Call cord has been inserted or removed, no alarm is generated.Low Battery StatesMonitor Low BatteryThe Monitor’s batteries will last at least 30 days while monitoring a person on a pad.When the Monitor batteries are low – approximately within 3 days of depletion – the Status LED flashes a YELLOW warning (with a confirmation tone).• If the resident is on the pad, the YELLOW flash follows the GREEN on-pad confirmation flash, once per minute.• If the resident is not on the pad, a single YELLOW flash occurs once per minute.These sequences repeat until the batteries are replaced.When the low battery warning level has been reached, no new monitoring sessions can be started until the batteries are replaced.When the Monitor determines that its batteries are within minutes of depletion, the audible alarm sounds, and the monitor stops functioning.Note: Monitors may deplete new batteries when kept in continuous sleep mode for more than 2 years.
Temporary Disable ModeBed-Check® Fall Management System Setup & User Guide 17Transmitter Low BatteryWhen the battery is low (about 20 days before depletion) in the Transmitter, the Monitor’s Status LED flashes a YELLOW warning twice (with a confirmation tone).• If the resident is on the pad, the YELLOW flashes follow the GREEN on-pad confirmation flash, once per minute.• If the resident is not on the pad, the YELLOW flashes occur once per minute.These sequences repeat until the Transmitter is replaced. If the Transmitter battery fails while the pad is monitoring a resident, a supervision alarm is generated. A Transmitter can be confirmed to be working without using a Monitor by checking if its LED flashes when a resident goes on or off the pad, or the transmitter itself is turned on or off. Replacing BatteriesTo remove the batteries1. Open the battery compartment cover.2. Gently pull the black ribbon vertically to release the batteries. IMPORTANT: Dispose of batteries according to your local environmental laws and guidelines.

CAUTION: Replace all four batteries at the same time. Do not mix old batteries with new batteries, and do not mix battery types. Only non-rechargeable alkaline batteries are UL-compliant and meet the product specication. AA batteries equivalent to Duracell MN1500 or Energizer LR06 are recommended.
Using Sensormat PadsBed-Check® Fall Management System Setup & User Guide 19Using Sensormat PadsThe Sensormat pad can be located either on a bed or chair, directly underneath the resident. The Monitor is mounted on the wall outside of the room, or in another convenient location, no more than 30 feet away from the pad; or attached to a wheelchair. 14-day or 180-day pads can be deployed with the Monitor. These pads should be replaced on or before their warranty period expiry date (indicated on pad).On a BedPlace the Sensormat pad across the width of the bed, ON TOP OF THE MATTRESS. A top sheet and/or incontinence pad may be placed above the Sensormat pad. The preferred pad location is directly under the resident’s buttocks three to five inches below the bend in the mattress when the head of the bed is elevated. Effective operation of the Sensormat pad in the alternative location, behind the resident’s back, is dependent upon their weight and the articulation angle of the bed. The use of anti-skid strips to secure the Sensormat pad to the mattress is optional.On a ChairPlace the Sensormat pad across the width of the chair or wheelchair seat. For best sensitivity, place the Sensormat pad above any other pads. An incontinence pad may be placed above the Sensormat pad. Adjust the position so that it fits directly under the resident’s buttocks. The most favorable location is toward the rear of the seat, close to the chair back. The use of anti-skid strips to secure the Sensormat pad to the seat of the chair is optional.Note: Once the resident sits on the pad, there is a 6 to 7 second delay, before the Monitor arms, allowing time for the resident to shift around slightly until a comfortable position is achieved.
Changing the Pad Transmitter20 Bed-Check® Fall Management System Setup & User GuideChanging the Pad TransmitterThe Pad Transmitter has a usable life of 180 days from first activation.The Monitor can be associated with only one Pad Transmitter at a time.When you change the Pad Transmitter, you must establish a new association between the Pad Transmitter and the Monitor.Follow these steps to change the Pad Transmitter.1. Remove the Monitor from the wall or unclip it from a chair or bed footboard so that you can access the back of the monitor.2. Bring the monitor and the Pad Transmitter together. 3.

The monitor will alarm if a Nurse Call jack is inserted or removed while monitoring a patient on the pad. If the Nurse Call jack needs to be adjusted while a patient is on the pad use the “Temporary Disable Mode” to allow this. When installing a Nurse Call jack, we recommend using the wall mount bracket in the manner shown, which provides cable restraint to help prevent accidental unplugging of the jack. Note that the cable must be inserted before the bracket is mounted on the wall. If your nurse call system does not provide a compatible input or if you want to wire a push button cord in parallel with the monitor, contact your biomedical department to obtain the appropriate adapter. The monitor does not have an input to allow a push button to be wired in parallel.If requesting information on interfacing the Monitor to a nurse call system, please have the following information available:• The brand of your nurse call system. • A description of the system’s call cord or pillow speaker, including the type of plug and number of pins in the plug. • Whether your nurse call system is normally open or normally closed. If this information is not available, you may still contact us for assistance, and we will be glad to help you.
Interfacing with a Nurse Call SystemBed-Check® Fall Management System Setup & User Guide 25Nurse Call AlarmsWith a Nurse Call cable plugged in, the Monitor calls the Nurse Call system continuously during a pad exit alarm, supervision warning, or imminent battery failure. However, low battery warnings are not sent.The Nurse Call jack can be used in all 3 audio volume settings (HI, LO and NC). When a Nurse Call jack is plugged in and the monitor’s alarm volume is set to “NC”, all local alarms except Nurse Call jack-related alarms are muted on the monitor. The “NC” volume setting is ignored if no Nurse Call jack is plugged in.Note: An alarm sent to the Nurse Call system cannot be cancelled from the Monitor alone. After dealing with the resident according to your care policy, the alarm must first be cancelled on the monitor, and then at the Nurse Call system. Refer to the Nurse Call system user guide for details on cancelling alarms at the Nurse Call station.The Monitor also alarms audibly when the Nurse Call jack is plugged in or unplugged while the resident is on the pad. To connect or disconnect the Nurse Call jack while the resident is on the pad, you must temporarily disable the monitor.
Maintenance26 Bed-Check® Fall Management System Setup & User GuideMaintenanceThe Monitor and the Sensormat pad may be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge using mild disinfectants. Never use alcohol, acidic or harsh petroleum-based cleaners.The Monitor tolerates all EtO (ethylene oxide) gas sterilization processes below 70 degrees C. Other types of gas sterilization are NOT to be used on the Monitor (e.g., formaldehyde, chlorine or hydrogen peroxide). Do NOT sterilize the Sensormat pad.Note: Remove the rubber bumper before sterilization to ensure that the entire monitor surface is sterilized.To ensure maximum performance, follow these guidelines:• Replace the Sensormat mat every 14 or 180 days, depending on the pad type. Note: The Sensormat Pad is for single resident use only.• If maintenance or opening of the Monitor is required, it should be performed in a static-free environment by qualified personnel.• Replace the batteries in the Monitor upon low battery signal.• Perform regular status checks on Monitors (status and connection). See Status Checks below.Status ChecksPerform the following checks, on Monitors and Sensormat pads, on a regular basis (according to your facility policy):1. Apply hand pressure to the Sensormat pad and maintain pressure for about 6 seconds. The Monitor should beep once, and the Status LED should ash GREEN every two seconds.2. Release hand pressure. The Monitor should sound an alarm.3. Press the Reset button on the Monitor to silence the alarm.4. If the Monitor did not signal an alarm, do not place the Sensormat pad into service. 5. Repeat this test using a new Sensormat pad to conrm that both the Monitor and Sensormat pad are working before putting them into service.6. If the Monitor is used with a nurse call system, verify that the remote alarm also sounded during the test.
