THREE-MODE BED EXIT ALERT SYSTEM
NOTE:
The Bed Exit Alert System should be used in conjunction with a sound falls-risk assessment and facility
approved protocol.
The Bed Exit Alert System controls are on the flip-up control pod that is on the intermediate siderails.
If your bed is equipped with the Compella™ Low Air Loss Surface with Turn Assist and CLRT (Continuous
Lateral Rotation Therapy), Bed Exit should be used in the Normal mode only. It should not be used with
the CLRT mode active as it may cause false alerts.
NOTE:
If the bed is in
Transport Mode
(the power drive wheels are on the ground) and you
attempt to arm the Bed Exit system, the
Raise Bed
control indicator on the control pod
will flash 5 times and you will hear a triple beep. To remove the bed from the Transport
Mode, press and hold the
Raise Bed
control until its indicator turns off and you hear a
single beep; the bed is ready to arm Bed Exit.
Bed Exit has three modes: Patient Position, Bed Exiting, and Out-of-Bed.
•
Patient Position Mode
—this mode sounds an alert when the patient moves
towards either siderail, moves away from the head section, or sits up in bed. This
mode should be used when a caregiver wants to be notified when the patient
begins to move.
•
Bed Exiting Mode
—this mode sounds an alert 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 notified when a potential egress is attempted.
•
Out-of-Bed Mode
—this mode sounds an alert 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 notified when the
patient leaves the bed.
When the system is armed and it detects an alert condition for the set Bed Exit mode,
the following occur even if the patient returns to the bed:
•
An audible alert comes on.
•
The indicator for the applicable Bed Exit mode flashes.
•
A priority nurse call is sent to the nurses station (for beds equipped with Nurse Call).
