Patient Alert

PA-1

Bed & Rail Fall Prevention System

QUICK START GUIDE

Follow these simple instructions to set up
your system

Step 1. Positioning the Sensor.

Positioning the Sensor Strip is the most
important aspect of this unit. It could be
placed along the edge of the bed to alarm
when the patient swings their legs over to
exit the bed. It should be placed from
waist level down towards the feet. Place
Sensor Strip directly against the mattress
using the Velcro tabs provided. Peel off
the Velcro and mount opposite side from
label. This unit provides no discomfort to
the patient who is free to move around in
the bed without alarming the unit. Route
the cord down and underneath the mat­tress towards the back of the bed.

Step 2.Connect the cord.

Uncoil the cord and insert the connector plug on
the end of the Sensor Strip into the socket on
top of the Patient Alert unit as shown.

If Unit Fails to Operate - Replace Battery.

Detect Attempted Exit. Attach by wrapping
