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

Page 5

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.

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.

Page 9

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.

Inserting and removing the monitor

After the bracket has been mounted and your alarm options have been set, insert your TABS®monitor into the bracket.

1. Slide the monitor into the bracket. The rails on the back of the

monitor fit into the slots on the plate. When you slide the two together, you will hear a "click" when it is properly locked into place. The front of the bracket should face the resident.

2. Check to make sure the monitor is securely in place by pulling it

gently upward.

To remove the monitor

1. Gently press the release lever on the bottom of the wall bracket with

one hand toward the mounting surface.

2. While pushing the release lever with one hand, slide the monitor up

out of the wall bracket.

Deterring removal of the TABS®monitor from the bracket

In the event the TABS®monitor is removed from the slide lock bracket or tampered with by residents or other non-authorized persons, you may wish to make it more difficult to remove the TABS®monitor from the bracket. This can be accomplished by breaking off the lower portion of the release tab. Once the release tab has been removed, a pen or similarly shaped object carried by staff will need to be inserted into the release catch before you can slide the TABS

monitor out of the bracket.

1. If the bracket has already been installed, remove it from the wall.

2. Firmly hold the upper portion of the release tab with one hand.

3. The release tab is scored with a mark (Figure 4). Carefully

position pliers along the lower side of the score mark.

4. Bend the tab backward until it breaks off (Figure 5).

How the TABS®14-day Disposable Patient-Specific pressure pads work

The TABS®monitoring system is designed to alert caregivers when someone is leaving a bed, chair or wheelchair. The TABS®Disposable Patient-Specific 14-day pad is placed on a bed, chair or wheelchair according to the instructions included with the pad. The cord is connected to the TABS

monitor. See “Alarm Options” in this manual

to set the desired alarm option.

TABS

pads are designed for use with TABS®monitors only. Do not

substitute any other fall monitoring devices. TABS

pads are the only

pressure pads that can be used with the TABS®monitor. The TABS

monitor is "non-latching." The alarm will stop if the resident returns to the bed or chair. The alarm is quickly and easily reset by pressing the reset button or reapplying pressure to the pressure pad.

The TABS

monitor has a built-in jack so that a pressure pad can be

used along with a nurse call interface cord.

The TABS®Disposable Patient-Specific pressure pads were designed to withstand normal wear and tear for a period of 14 days. Do not use beyond this period. Beyond this period, 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.

Be certain that your protocols direct staff to log the “DATE PUT IN USE” 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 removal date must be transferred from chart to chart.

WARNING

Page 19

Instructions for chair pressure pad use

1. Place the pressure pad in the center of the chair seat. The side of the

pressure pad with the cord on it should be at the back of the chair seat (Figure 14). Do not place the cord on top of or underneath the pressure pad.

2. Plug the TABS

pressure pad cord into the right jack on the bottom

of the TABS

monitor (Figure 15). An alarm will sound if a pad is plugged into the nurse call (left) jack and weight is applied to the pad. Note: For the timed chair pad model 26120, the timer will begin counting down when plugged into a monitor for the first time. The timer will only activate when used with models 25022, 25023, 25025, 25222, or 25223.

3. The monitor will “chirp” when weight is first applied to the pad to indicate the monitor is armed. Test the system by pressing firmly on the pressure pad for 3 seconds. When you remove the pressure, the alarm will sound. Reset the alarm by pressing the RESET button on the TABS

monitor.

4. Place the resident on the pressure pad. The pressure pad should be centered under the resident’s body.

5. When the resident leaves the pressure pad, the alarm will sound.

6. You can reset the alarm by pressing the reset button on the front of

the monitor or by replacing the weight back on the pad.

Instructions for bed pressure pad use

1. The TABS

Disposable Patient-Specific pad is designed for single patient use. Once your patient has left the facility, dispose of the pad. For infection control purposes during the patient’s stay, however, the pad can be disinfected with most common cleaners.

2. Place the pressure pad across the width of the mattress.

3. Position the pressure pads so that the resident’s buttocks will be over the top of the pad.

4. Put the bed sheets over the top of the bed pad. Note:

Use of a mattress

overlay or bed pad may affect the proper operation of the bed pressure pad.

Follow test procedure found in the section “Testing the TABS®monitor.”

5. Plug the bed pressure pad cord into the right jack on the bottom of the TABS

monitor (Figure 16). An alarm will sound if a pad is plugged into

the nurse call (left) jack and weight is applied to the pad. Note: For the timed bed pad model 26560, the timer will begin counting down when plugged into a monitor for the first time. The timer will only activate when used with models 25022, 25023, 25025, 25222, or 25223.

6. Run the cord along the mattress and bed frame. Be careful not to get the cords in the way of any moving parts on the bed. Otherwise, the moving parts could sever or entangle the cord and prevent it from working.

7. Mount the TABS

mobility monitor on the headboard or wall. Refer to “Installing your TABS®monitoring system” in this manual for more detailed information on mounting the monitor. If you use the metal bracket, remember to place the TABS

monitor facing the wall, away from the

patient.

8. The monitor will “chirp” when weight is first applied to the pad to indicate the monitor is armed. Test the system by pressing firmly on the pressure pad for 3 seconds. When you remove the pressure, the alarm must sound. Reset the alarm.

9. Have the resident lie normally on the mattress. The resident’s body weight activates the system.

10. The alarm must sound when the resident’s body weight is removed from the pressure pad.

11. You can reset the alarm by pressing the reset button on the front of the monitor or by replacing the weight back on the pad.

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.

Maintaining the TABS®mobility monitor

• Clean soiled areas on the monitor and bracket with a damp rag and

mild detergent. .

• The Dual Lock

fastener may be cleaned with most standard medical

virucidal disinfectant. Spray the disinfectant on the Dual Lock

fastener and allow it to dry thoroughly. If necessary, a toothbrush may be used to gently scrub the "mushrooms."

• Inspect your TABS

monitor and all components including Dual Lock®fastener and the wall bracket regularly. If there are any signs of wear or damage, replace the component immediately. Call your TABS

Representative at 800-824-2996 if you do not already have

replacement parts on hand.

• Replace the battery as soon as the low battery alert sounds.

Cleaning the pressure pad

• Clean soiled areas of cord and pressure pad with a clean cloth and water or a vinyl-tolerant solution.

• Do not immerse pressure pad in liquid of any kind.

Page 23

Troubleshooting pressure pads

If the alarm does not sound when the resident leaves the chair or bed:

• Check the TABS®monitor. Are you using a 9V alkaline battery and

has it been installed properly? Is the battery still “good”? If not, remove the battery and install a new 9V alkaline battery following the instructions in this manual.

• Check the cord. Is it connected to the TABS

monitor and is the

connection secure? If not, connect the cord properly.

• Is the resident under 60 pounds? The TABS®pads are not designed

for residents weighing less then 60 lbs.

• Is the resident sitting properly on the pressure pad? If not, reposition

the resident or the pressure pad so that the pad is centered under the resident’s body.

• Is the pressure pad connected to the jack on the right side of the

monitor. If not, reconnect the pad plug to the proper jack on the monitor.

If the alarm sounds when the resident has not left the bed or chair:

• Check to see that a fresh 9V alkaline battery is being used. If not,

replace it.

• Check to see that the pressure pad cord is attached to the TABS

monitor.

• Check to see that the pressure pad is positioned correctly under the

patient.

If the alarm sounds periodically:

• Check the battery. The sound you hear may be the low battery alert.

Replace the battery with a 9V alkaline battery following the instructions in the "Insert the battery" section.

If the pressure pads still do not work, contact your local distributor, or call TABS

Sales at 800-824-2996.

monitor (Figure 18). Insert the other end of the cable with the 1/4" jack plug into the nurse call system wall jack. If the plug does not fit the wall jack, contact your local distributor, or call TABS

Sales at 800-824-2996.

Note: If the nurse call interface cord is not in place, the local alarm will sound regardless of the settings. If a nurse call interface cord is mistakenly inserted in the jack on the right an alarm will sound.

Regulations may require that a functioning nurse call system be accessible in each resident bed and bath area. A splitter may be required from your nurse call provider in order to use both TABS

and your

regular call system. Please contact your local distributor, or call TABS

Sales at 800-824-2996 if you need assistance.

Figure 18

Do not pull on the cord to remove the nurse call interface cord from either the TABS®monitor or the nurse call interface wall jack. Remove them by grasping the modular telephone plug and the jack plug heads and pulling them carefully from the TABS

monitor. Failure to do so

may result in damage to the equipment.
