Citadel Bed Frame System
VariZone Operation
Before activating patient movement detection, make sure that:
•
The patient’s weight has been measured and recorded.
•
All additional items (example: accessories) have been accounted for
using the Auto Compensation function.
•
The weighing system display is blank.
Before using patient movement detection, verify that the alarm
can be easily heard by caregivers. Example: at the nurse’s
station.
To activate patient movement detection, press and hold either
the In Bed button or Egress button for two seconds.
The threshold display indicator LED will flash to show the
alarm threshold level.
The further to the left the flashing indicator LED is, the lower
the alarm threshold, and small movements of the patient in
bed will be detected.
The further to the right the flashing indicator LED is, the
higher the alarm threshold, and only large movements, such
as the patient exiting the bed, will be detected.
To increase the patient movement detection threshold:
Press and hold the Egress button; the flashing indicator LED
will move towards the right. When the required threshold is
reached, release the button.
To reduce the patient movement detection threshold:
Press and hold the In Bed button; the flashing indicator LED
will move towards the left. When the required threshold is
reached, release the button.
After a few seconds the indicator LED will stop flashing and
remain illuminated to show that patient movement detection is
active.
If movement of the patient above the set threshold is detected,
an audible tone will sound and the threshold indicator LED will
flash.
