THE HOLD BUTTON
NOTE: HOLD feature will work only when the fall
monitor is actively monitoring or alarming.
To Place the Fall Monitor on HOLD:
1.
Press
HOLD
button on the top of fall monitor once to
initiate a 30 second hold or continuously press the HOLD
button for 3 seconds to initiate an extended hold of 5
minutes. (Fig. 10) The
STATUS LED
will begin flashing
RED indicating the fall monitor is in HOLD mode an audio
cue will indicate that either a 30 second or 5 minute hold
has been activated.
2.
While the fall monitor is in a hold state and the STATUS
LED is flashing red, the alarm will not activate if pressure
is removed from the sensor pad or the sensor belt is
unfastened.
3.
If during the time when the fall monitor is on hold, you wish to resume active monitoring, press
the hold button again to cancel the hold.
4.
After 30 seconds or 5 minutes:
•
If weight is present on the sensor or sensor belt is fastened you will hear a single “beep” and
monitoring will begin.
•
If there is no weight on sensor, or sensor belt is not fastened, alarm will be in Ready state and
status LED will flash yellow.
•
The Ready state allows patient to be away from bed or chair for extended periods without
alarm activating (e.g., for meals, therapy, toileting etc.). When patient returns and weight is
applied to sensor or sensor belt is fastened, the fall monitor STATUS LED will rapidly flash
yellow for 3 seconds and then “beep” once to indicate monitoring has resumed. The STATUS
LED will flash green. If pressure is removed or the belt is unfastened while the STATUS LED is
rapidly flashing yellow, the fall monitor will return to the Ready state without alarming.
Test the fall monitor and sensor for proper operation prior to putting in service
with a patient, and each time before leaving the patient unattended. If the fall
monitor and/or sensor do not function properly, remove the fall monitor and
sensor from service and replace them with a properly functioning fall monitor
and/or sensor. Ensure the STATUS LED is flashing green, indicating the fall
monitor is monitoring.
