Read and follow these Installation instructions, particularly the warnings and cautions, before using your TABS®mobility monitor. Failure to do so may result in injury or death to a person in your care.

Test your TABS

monitor for proper operation before each use and:

• inspect the Dual Lock®fastener for any signs of wear.

• listen to the voice message to make sure it is understandable and appropriate.

• replace any components with signs of wear or damage immediately.

• make sure nurse call interface cord is securely in place.

• make sure the monitor is held securely to the wall or wheelchair bracket

Use your monitor in conjunction with your facility’s fall management program. TABS

monitors are not a substitute for proper nursing care. The effectiveness of the TABS®system relies entirely on an immediate response by the caregiver to the TABS®alarm.

The TABS®mobility 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 TABS

mobility monitor and TABS®Disposable Patient-Specific 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 TABS

mobility monitor is

used.

Visual monitoring by caregivers is required. TABS®Disposable Patient-Specific pressure pads may not be suitable for all high risk persons; restraints may be required for some people.

A 9V alkaline battery must always be installed for proper operation of the TABS

monitoring system. The battery must be installed for the low battery alert to sound when the battery is low and to act as a battery back-up in the event of power loss on the TABS

monitor.

An intermittent "chirp" indicates a low battery. Replace the battery immediately. Use only 9V alkaline batteries. The TABS®monitor does not recharge batteries.

Resident weight may affect proper operation.TABS

pressure pad models 26000, 26100, 26120, 26550, and 26560 are not recommended for persons weighing less than 60 lbs. Models 26500 and 26501 below mattress pads are not recommended for persons weiging less than 100lbs.

Test your pressure pads and TABS

monitor before each use. Make sure your TABS

mobility monitor is working properly. Do no use the 14-day Disposable Patient-Specific pad for more than 14 days. If the pressure pads are no longer working discard them immediately.

Be certain that your protocols direct staff to log the 14-day ‘Date Put In Use’ date in the blank provided on the pad itself AND in the resident’s chart. If the pad is used on more than one resident, the original ‘Date Put In Use’ date must be transferred from chart to chart.

If the cord is unplugged from the monitor and the alarm options have been set to nurse call only, the TABS

monitor reverts to a local alarm. The nurse call interface cord must be

plugged into the nurse call system at all times.

WARNING

Use care when connecting or disconnecting the TABS®monitor to the nurse call system. Gently remove or connect plugs. Pulling on the cord may damage it and result in system failure.

Connect only pressure pads to the jack on the right and connect only nurse call interface cords to the jack on the left on the bottom of the monitor. An alarm will sound if either item is connected to the incorrect jack. Failure to connect a pressure pad or a nurse call cord to the proper jack will cause improper operation of the monitor.

The TABS

Disposable Patient-Specific pressure pads are designed to withstand normal wear and tear for a period of 14-days. Beyond this time, the pad may fail and 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 immediately if exposed to liquids.

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.

TABS

Disposable Patient-Specific pressure pads are designed for use with TABS

monitors only. Do not substitute any other fall monitoring devices.

Do not open the TABS®case for any reason, or remove the four screws that hold the case together.The case is sealed and if the seal is broken, the warranty will be voided.

Use only the Dual Lock

fastener or screws that came with your shipment to mount the

monitor brackets. Non-conforming fasteners may hinder the device's effectiveness.

Use only the power supply that is shipped with the monitor by Stanley-Senior Technologies. Failure to do so may cause improper operation or damage to the TABS

monitor.

Do not use modular T-connectors. If modular T-connectors are used, the device will not operate properly.

How the TABS®mobility monitor works (Models 25222 and

25223)

Your TABS®monitor, when used with a TABS®pad, is designed to help reduce the risk of falls by alerting caregivers when a patient or resident is leaving a bed, chair, or wheelchair. Operation is simple. Mount the monitor on a wall using the wall bracket or on a headboard using the bed bracket. When the resident’s weight is removed from the pressure pad the alarm will sound. To reset the monitor press the RESET button or position the patient back on the pad. (Because TABS

products are used in both hospitals and long term care settings, the terms “patient” and “resident” will be used interchangeably throughout the manual.)

The TABS

monitor has four distinct alarm tones. In addition, you can

opt to have the alarm be silent at the bed, as

long as the TABS

unit is connected to your facility’s nurse call system. Alarm options are determined by the position of rocker switches in the battery compartment. The monitor also has audio recording capability. Finally, the TABS

monitor is designed for dual monitoring, i.e. you can use a

pressure pad and a nurse call cord at the same time.

Low battery alert

The TABS®monitor is equipped with a "low battery alert" (an intermittent chirping sound) which reminds you to replace the battery immediately. Listen for the alert each time you use or test your monitor. If you hear the low battery alert, replace the battery immediately.

The TABS

monitor must have a functional 9v alkaline battery to

operate. A plug-in power supply can be used to extend the life of the battery. The low battery alert will sound when a weak 9V battery is installed or when no battery is installed even when the plug-in power supply is used. The TABS

monitor will not function without a

functional 9V alkaline battery installed.

Reset Button

Installing the wall bracket (Model 25222)

TABS®monitors should be mounted on a surface that is smooth and flat. The TABS

wall bracket can be mounted with screws or with Dual Lock®fastener. Choose the method that is appropriate for your particular environment. See "A word about Dual Lock®fastener."

Mounting the bracket with screws:

You will need:

• level

• pencil

• drill with

/16" bit

• hammer

• Phillips screwdriver

1. Use the level to position the bracket straight on the mounting

surface. Be sure to leave enough room above the bracket for removal of the monitor.

2. Use the bracket as a template and pencil in the screw hole

positions.

3. Drill the anchor holes with a

/16" bit.

4. Hammer in the plastic wall anchors until they are flush with the

mounting surface.

5. Align the holes in the bracket to the holes you have drilled and

attach the bracket using four of the 4 x 1" screws.

Mounting the bracket with Dual Lock®fastener

1. Clean the surface with rubbing alcohol and clean rag. Let it dry thoroughly before beginning your installation. Use the level to

position the bracket straight on the mounting surface. Be sure to leave enough room above the bracket for removal of the monitor

2. Peel off the film on the back of

the 2

/2" piece of Dual Lock

fastener. Press the fastener firmly to the wall.

3. Line up the piece of Dual

Lock

fastener on the headboard with the two pieces on the bracket (Figure 1). Fasten them together by firmly pressing. You will hear a "click" when the Dual Lock

fastener is properly mounted.

A word about Dual Lock®fastener

According to the manufacturer, if Dual Lock®fastener is used properly it can withstand up to 1,000 closures before replacement is necessary. Inspect each piece of Dual Lock®fastener regularly and replace each piece at the first sign of wear.

A piece of film covers the adhesive on the back of each piece of Dual Lock

fastener (Figures 2 and 3). The adhesive is very strong; – it was manufactured for one mount only so never reuse a piece of Dual Lock

fastener. If you remove a piece of Dual Lock®fastener from the mounting surface or bracket, replace it with a new piece of Dual Lock

fastener.

To remove Dual Lock®fastener:

The adhesive on Dual Lock®fastener bonds well enough to the mounting surface that there is a possibility it may damage your wall when you remove it. Gently grab a corner of the fastener and ease your fingers under it. Roll the Dual Lock

fastener slowly off the mounting surface.
