6.2 Patient Bed Antenna
The bed antenna is placed on the patient’s bed either under the mattress pad or under the mattress. It is
made from a thin sheet of Tyvek® with the antenna screen printed on its surface. The antenna is cleanable,
disposable or recyclable. It may be replaced and discarded whenever the patient’s bed linens are changed.
The bed beacon uses the bed antenna to create the barrier that defines the patient zone around the patient’s
bed.
The bed antenna is attached to the bed beacon via a small cable and breakaway connector. The breakaway
connector will allow the bed antenna to disconnect from the bed beacon when the bed is moved without
damage to the bed beacon. However, it is best to manually disconnect the connector before moving the
patient bed.
