3 Intended Use
WARNING!
Risk of injury from incorrect use!
SafetyMonitor is designed to complement standard nursing supervision by providing current information on the
bed set-up and the presence of the patient in the bed. It was not developed or tested as a diagnostic tool and
must not be considered as such or as another instrument of that type.
WARNING!
You cannot rely on alarm signals!
3.1 SafetyMonitor
SafetyMonitor is a system that monitors the status of LINET® beds, the presence of a patient on the bed and the location
of the bed. The use of integrated sensors in the bed allows continuous monitoring of the main safety parameters. This in-
formation is then transmitted to a display device (e.g. LCD computer display). Data collection and evaluation takes place
at one central location simultaneously for all beds connected to the system. The records are completely anonymous and
the system does not work with the patient's name or identifi cation number.
SafetyMonitor is an accessory to the Eleganza 5 medical bed and Eleganza 4 medical bed. The system creates alerts
(notice signals for less secure status of the parameter) and alarms (notices for the absence of a patient on the bed – e.g.
the patient is about to leave the bed). Alerts and alarms are displayed on the terminal (screen) in the nurse station, on a
smartphone/tablet and/or are automatically passed to the hospital information system. Information is transmitted via LAN
or Wi-Fi connection. In this way, medical staff can be informed in a timely manner of any safety risk while saving adminis-
trative time (e.g. entering patient weight in records, etc.).
SafetyMonitor monitors the following:
►
Wheel status (brakes on/off)
►
Siderail status (up/down)
►
Safe bed height (lowest position)
►
Backrest position (30° - Fowler’s position)
►
Detection of patient in the bed - Bed Exit monitoring (optional)
NOTE:
SafetyMonitor signals both the presence of patient in the bed and that the patient has left or intends to leave
the bed. Patient detection in the bed can only be monitored for beds equipped with a weighting system (Eleganza 5 or
Eleganza 4).
►
Bed localisation (optional)
NOTE:
Bed location can be monitored only for beds that are equipped with localisation and a localisation module (Tag).
►
Bed Exit monitoring
3.2 Specifi cations for Use
Medical relevance:
►
The system is designed for hospital wards and care facilities.
►
SafetyMonitor automatically and continuously monitors the presence of the patient in a bed with scales, as long
as monitoring of this status is activated.
►
The system compares the actual settings of the LINET® safety components of the beds with the required status.
In the event that the actual settings of the bed are not consistent with the required settings, the system will issue an alert
to the care staff immediately.
►
SafetyMonitor continually monitors the bed settings and the safety components.
►
The bed safety settings for an individual patient reduce the risk of adverse events (falls, health complications,
etc.).
►
The system clearly displays the monitored parameters where needed (stationary screens, mobile devices).
►
The system keeps the measured data (depending on the settings, the data is stored by default for 30 days). After
this time, the system automatically removes older data. This also applies to alarm system entries that are automatically
deleted after 30 days.
