For the bed exit alarm signal to be heard in the nurse station, the bed must be equipped with the
optional nurse call function and be connected to the hospital nurse call system. For beds equipped
with the Bed Exit function but not with the Nurse Call option, the alarm signal will be heard only in
the patient's room.
Be sure to place the patient on the bed in its normal position before activating the bed exit.
The Bed Exit system is intended only to aid in the detection of a patient exiting the bed. It is not
intended to replace patient monitoring protocol. The Bed Exit system signals when a patient is about
to exit the bed. Adding or removing objects from the bed after having armed the Bed Exit system
may cause a reduction in the sensitivity of the Bed Exit system, resulting in erroneous readings of
the patient's movements in the bed. Failure to set the Chaperone zone properly could result in
improper monitoring and patient injury. Verify that the proper zone is selected before leaving the
patient.
The Bed Exit system is not designed to be used with patients weighing less than 50 lb (23 kg).
Zone Settings
•
The first zone (left LED) is the traditional Bed Exit zone. The patient can move in the bed freely
but cannot fully exit the bed or the alarm will sound.
•
The second zone (middle LED) is more restrictive. It allows the patient to sit up and roll over but
any attempt to exit the bed will cause the alarm to sound.
•
The third zone (right LED) is the most restrictive zone. Small movements like raising an arm or
lifting the shoulder off the bed will cause the alarm to sound. The third zone is used to alert staff
to a change in the condition of an unconscious or paralyzed patient.

When the bed is equipped with a scale, the scale must be properly zeroed for the Bed Exit to
function properly (see page 18, “Operating (Zeroing) the Scale Before Putting a New Patient on the
Bed”). If the bed is not equipped with a scale system, follow the procedure below:
•
Before putting a new patient on the bed: prepare the bed for a patient stay by adding linens and
equipment to the bed.
•
Press and hold the ARM/DISARM key (A) until the larger zone LED (B) begins to flash (do not
touch the bed while the LED flashes), then release the key. When the zone LED turns off, the
system is zeroed.
To
activate
the Bed Exit, press the ARM/DISARM key (A). The less restrictive zone (B) will be
automatically selected and its LED will come on. To change the zone, press the ZONE key (C)
repeatedly until the desired zone LED comes on.
To
deactivate
the Bed Exit after an alarm or simply to turn it off, press the ARM/DISARM key (A).
The zone LED (B) will turn off.
