Bed Exit Alert System: Setting the Bed Exit
The Centrella™ Bed Exit system monitors the patient’s movement and notifies
caregivers when the patient is trying to exit the bed.
NOTE: The patient must weigh between 32-277 kgs (or 70-500 lbs) for the
bed exit to turn on. If outside this range, a triple beep will sound and a
message on the GCI touchscreen indicates “Failed to set: Weight Too Low” or
“Failed to set: Weight Too High”.
There are three sensitivity settings to select the most appropriate setting for
your patient and minimize over alarming:
• Changes Position: is the most sensitive setting and will alert when a
patient begins to move.
• Moves Towards the Edge: allows the patient to move within the bed, but
triggers an alert when the patient moves their legs over the edge or shifts
towards the foot-end of the bed.
• Has Left the Bed: is the least sensitive setting, allowing a patient to sit on
the edge of the bed, alerting only once they have gotten out of bed.
To turn on the bed exit alert:
1. Press the Bell icon in the Navigation Menu of the touchscreen. Use the UP
arrow if you do not see the Bed Exit icon.
• Position the patient in the center of the bed for “Changes position”
and “Moves towards the edge” settings.
• For “Has left the bed” setting, the bed exit alert can be set with the
patient setting on the edge of the bed.
2. Select the most appropriate setting for your patient.
3. Listen for a single beep and look for the Bed Exit On icon indicating
the system is armed. The Bed Exit Alert bell indicator on the head right
siderail turns solid green. The bed exit icon on the home screen will now
be outlined in green. After 3-minutes of no GCI activity, the status screen
shows a Bed Exit On indicator.
If equipped with Sa System, the blue bell icon turns solid green,
another indication that bed exit is on.
Once armed, if the bed senses extra weight such as the weight of a family
member or heavy equipment, the bed will triple beep and a message will
appear on the touchscreen indicating additional weight has been detected.
Remove the weight or the alert will sound in 45-seconds. Not removing may
affect bed exit sensitivity.
To deactivate the alert, press the bell icon in the Navigation Menu, press
Bed Exit Off. The Alert Status Indicator changes to an “X,” the icon is no longer
green. “Exit Alert Off” message will appear on the touchscreen for 10-seconds.
