Before You Begin
The Posey Sensor Pad, in conjunction with a Posey Alarm, is an important part of
your fall management protocols. Ensure all parts of this system are operational
before leaving a patient unattended. This system does not prevent falls or injury from
falls and is not a substitute for patient care, caregiver rounding and a comprehensive
fall management protocol in your facility.
• This device may not be suitable for all high fall-risk patients. See Posey catalog for
other options for such patients.
• NEVER use a restraint on a patient during toileting with this product.
• To prevent damage, NEVER roll, fold, or crease sensor pad.
• NEVER connect Posey sensor pads to other manufacturers’ alarm units.
• NEVER connect Posey alarms to other manufacturers’ sensor pads.
NOTE: Before using this sensor pad, a Posey Fall Alarm must be securely mounted
near toilet, out of the patient’s reach.
Application Instructions:
1. Read all sensor pad and alarm instructions prior to use.
2. Check sensor pad, cord and plug for damage. Discard entire sensor pad if there is
any damage.
