If an alert state is triggered, the light bar will change to
flashing AMBER. This indicates Indicates the bed has left the

The iBed Awareness system is intended to serve as a secondary
monitoring system, informing the operator via a visual or audible alert
when a preset condition changes.
The optional iBed Awareness system only indicates the siderail
position, it does NOT indicate if the siderail is locked. It is the
caregiver’s responsibility to ensure that the siderails are locked after
every move and also before leaving a patient in the room.
The optional iBed Awareness system indicator lights are only an aid
to the caregiver but in no way replace the caregiver’s responsibility of
checking on patients. Caregivers should not rely on the lights to
perform their duties.
Before arming the optional iBed Awareness system, the nurse must
physically verify that siderails are locked.
