Areas of application and function
The CareMat is designed for use in nursing homes, hospitals, psychiatric
wards, and home care. Care and supervision of fall-prone patients and
those with dementia require significant time and financial investments
from caregivers. CareMat is an ideal addition to reduce risks that arise
from wandering patients.
The CareMat, a pressure-sensitive switching device, is laid directly in front
of the patient bed. The VarioRec
®
radio receiver is connected to the call
system via the plug-in connection of the call button. As soon as a person
leaves the bed and steps onto the CareMat, it sends an alarm signal to the
call system via the VarioRec radio receiver. The wireless functionality
reduces tripping hazards around patient beds.
If the CareMat is not needed during
the day, it can be stored underneath
the bed.
CareMat should be centrally aligned
next to the bed so it is impossible to
bypass.
Connect the VarioRec
®
radio receiver
to the call system.
