WARNINGS:
• Test the system before first use, and daily thereafter.
• Use your monitor in conjunction with your facility’s fall management program. UMP® monitors are
not a substitute for proper nursing care. The effectiveness of the UMP system relies entirely on an
immediate response by the caregiver to the monitor’s alarm.
• The UMP fall monitor will not stop a person from leaving a bed, chair, wheelchair or room. It is
intended only to alert a caregiver that a person may need assistance. Other interventions may still be
required for some people.
• The UMP fall monitor and UMP pressure pads can be defeated by a cognitively aware person,
a person with only a few moments of lucidity or an uncooperative person. Properly assess each
individual before the UMP fall monitor is used.
• When the low battery light is on, replace the battery immediately. Use only 9V alkaline batteries. The
UMP monitor does not recharge batteries. Check for low battery before every use.
• Keep the pressure pads flat at all times. If the pressure pad is folded it may not function properly. Do
not use the pressure pad if it has been folded.
• UMP pressure pads are not recommended for persons weighing less than 70 lbs.
• Be certain that your protocols direct staff to log the 45-day, 90-day, 180-day, and 1-year ‘Date Put In
Use’ date in the blank provided on the pad itself AND in the resident’s chart.
• If the nurse call cord is unplugged from the nurse call system and the alarm options have been set to
“Nurse Call Only”, no alarm will sound. The nurse call interface cord must be plugged into the nurse
call system at all times.
CAUTIONS:
• Inspect the UMP monitor to make sure it is held securely to the bed or chair and that the bracket
mount is secure. If the mount is not secure, the monitor may be damaged.
• Use care when connecting or disconnecting the UMP monitor to the nurse call system. Gently remove
or connect plugs. Pulling on the cord may damage it and result in system failure.
• The UMP pressure pads are designed to withstand normal wear and tear for a period of 45 days,
90 days, 180 days or 1 year (depending on pad model). Beyond this time, the pad may fail without
warning due to prolonged use and other factors, e.g. bending, exposure to moisture, punctures,
repeated cord pulls, connector damage, etc.
• Do not immerse in liquid, or use the pad if it has been immersed in liquid. Discard the pad if it has
been exposed to liquids.
• UMP pressure pads are designed for use with UMP monitors only. Do not substitute any other fall
monitoring device.
• Use only the power adapter that is recommended for use with this monitor. Failure to do so may
cause improper operation or damage to the UMP monitor.
