Bed Exiting Mode
The Bed Exiting Mode alarm comes on when a patient moves away from the center of
the bed towards an egress point. This mode should be used when a caregiver wants to
be alerted when a potential egress is attempted.
When the system is armed and it detects patient movement towards an exit point, these
occur:
• An audible alarm comes on.
• The Bed Exiting Mode indicator flashes.
• A priority nurse call is sent. The light and alarm continue until the system is turned off, even if the
patient lies down on the bed.
Out-of-Bed Mode
The Out-of-Bed Mode alarm comes on when the patient's weight shifts significantly off
the frame of the bed. This mode should be used when a caregiver wants the patient to
move freely within the bed, but to be alerted when the patient leaves the bed.
When the system is armed and it detects movement off the bed, these occur:
• An audible alarm comes on.
• The Out-of-Bed Mode indicator flashes.
• A priority nurse call is sent. The light and alarm continue until the system is turned off, even if the
patient lies down on the bed.
To Activate
1. Make sure the patient is centered in the bed and aligned with the hip locator.
2. Press the Enable control until the indicator comes on.
3. Press the applicable mode control. When the system beeps one time and the indicator stays on solid,
the system is armed.
NOTE:
The indicator flashes until the system is armed.
If the system does not arm, the system will beep rapidly for a few seconds and the selected mode
indicator will flash. This means the patient weighs less than 50 lb (23 kg) or more than 400 lb (181 kg),
the patient is not in the correct position, or the system has malfunctioned.
To Reset or Deactivate
1. Press the Enable control until the indicator illuminates.
2. Press any mode control, or the alarm silence control, until the indicator goes off.
