There is a separate and distinct temporary 25 second hold time programmed into
the Control Unit. When weight is on the Sensormat
® (patient on the mat in bed
or on the chair) and the Control Unit is MON itoring (green light), the caregiver
may press the RESET button to put the system into temporary HOLD status
(blinking yellow light) for servicing the patient. The unit will remain in this
temporary
HOLD status as long as weight stays on the Sensormat ® for up to 25
seconds, and then will resume MON itoring. However, if any time during the 25
seconds weight is removed from the Sensormat
®
, this immediately puts the unit
into permanent HOLD (steady yellow light). Once on permanent HOLD , the
unit will begin the preselected HOLD delay countdown (e.g. 5 seconds) to
MON itor only when weight is returned to the Sensormat ® .
Note that in any HOLD mode, monitoring may be started immediately (no
delay countdown) by pressing RESET , as long as weight is on the Sensormat ® .
Always assure the green MON itor light is on before leaving the patient.
The caregiver may adjust the patient/resident in bed, do local therapy, etc. dur-
ing the (25 second) temporary
HOLD period without setting off the alarm. If
the Control Unit begins to again monitor and it is taking longer to care for or
remove the patient/resident from the bed, press
RESET again to renew the 25
second temporary HOLD time. If the care giver has completed the task and the
control unit is still in the temporary (blinking) HOLD status, press RESET to
immediately begin MON itoring before leaving the room.
MON itor - The green MON indicator is illuminated when the control unit is
monitoring the patient. If the patient’s weight is off the Sensormat ® for the entire
preselected delay, i.e. 3 seconds, the alarm will sound. If RESET is pressed
while the MON indicator is active, the control unit will return to the HOLD
mode. Please review the HOLD function above. A flashing MON itor indicator
indicates that the unit is actively monitoring and that weight is off the
Sensormat
® , but the preselected alarm delay has not yet expired.
ALARM - The red ALARM indicator is illuminated when the control unit is
alarming. The control unit will exit the alarm mode and enter the HOLD mode
when the RESET button is pressed. The alarm delay time can be set within a
range of 1 to 9 seconds. We recommend 3 seconds. The time delay should be set
just long enough to allow patient movement in bed without generating false
alarms.
The nurse call system must be physically reset in the patient’s room after reset-
ting the Control Unit in the event of an alarm.
