Patient Safeguard System® Patient Bed Installation
UltraClenz, LLC
Page 7
The Patient Bed installation is comprised of four main components. The first component is the Bed Antenna used to create
a zone around the patient bed. The second component is the Bed Beacon that controls the zone around a patient bed. The
third component is the AC Line Power Sensor that senses when bed is connected or disconnected from AC power. The Bed
Beacon also communicates with the Bentley wireless network. The final component is the Dock that connects the Antenna
and AC Line Power (ALP) Sensor to the Bed Beacon.

3. PSS Patient Bed Installation Functions
The Bed Beacon works with the Bed Antenna to create a zone around a patient bed, referred to as the patient zone. When
a healthcare worker (HCW) wearing a Badge enters the zone, the Bed Beacon wirelessly communicates with the Badge and
lets the Badge know that it has entered the zone around a specific patient bed. The Bed Beacon will emit an audible beep
and flash a green LED when it has successfully communicated with the Badge. If communications with the Badge are
successful the Bed Beacon then sends information about its interaction with the Badge to the server via the Bentley
wireless network. For more information about how the Badge will react to being in the patient zone, please read the
document Patient Safeguard System® Healthcare Worker Badge User’s Guide (DOC1046).
