Useful additional information and tips
Before You Begin
The Posey Sitter On Cue PRO is an easy to use addition to your falls management program. The
Sitter On Cue PRO provides an early warning when a patient attempts an unassisted exit from a
sensor. This system
does not
prevent falls or injury from falls and is not a substitute for patient
care, rounding and a comprehensive falls management protocol in your facility.
The Sitter On Cue PRO activates as the patient attempts to rise and removes pressure from the
sensor or unfastens their sensor belt. The Sitter On Cue PRO may be used with an optional cable or
wireless adapter to connect to the nurse call system.
Indications for Use:
Persons who may benefit from the use of the Posey Sitter On Cue PRO include:
•
Patients with diminished cognitive or mobility skills
•
Patients receiving medications that may cause disorientation, drowsiness, dizziness, or
f requent urination
•
Patients (new or existing) with a history of falls, or who are assessed to be at risk of falling based
on your selected fall-risk assessment
•
Patients who are restless or prone to get up in the middle of the night, e.g., due to incontinence,
or with nighttime voiding habits
Contraindications:
