Fall Management System Nurse Call
Fall Management System Control Unit
The Fall Management System Control Unit is connected to a Fall Management System Sensor Pad and
attached to a patient’s bed or chair, out of reach of the patient. If a patient attempts to get up, the Control Unit
sounds an alert. An alert can be annunciated in the form of a buzzer. Staff can also be alerted via your
facility’s nurse call system or the 9450 software if available. An Assistance Required alarm is activated in
response to a Fall Management System alert when interfaced with the Series 7.0 Software. The Control Unit
is powered by a 9-volt alkaline battery or by a plug-in power supply.
Fall Management System Sensor Pad
Fall Management System Sensor Pads can be used on most standard beds or chairs in your facility. They
are disposable, intended for single-patient use, and warranted for 7, 30, 90, or 180 days (offering
for pads are subject to change, contact Customer Care at 1-800-669-9946 for the most current
offering). The Sensor Pads have a limited expected useful life. You must record the date the
warranty expires in the area provided on the label. You must not use the sensor pad after the in-
service warranty has expired.
Fall Management System Nurse Call
Your facility can use the Fall Management System in conjunction with your Nurse Call System. Simply
insert the modular jack into the nurse call jack on the control unit then insert the other end of the cable into the
jack on the nurse call system’s bedside wall plate.
When the nurse call cable is plugged in, the control unit sounds an audible alert and the nurse call output is
active during an alarm. If the volume on the control unit is adjusted to its lowest setting, the alarm will not
sound at the control unit but will still register at the nurse call output.
The nurse call system varies in functionality. Consult your facility’s nurse call system documentation to
ensure proper functionality when connecting the Fall Management System to it.
WARNING: If the keys on the Control Unit are worn or damaged, you must
stop using the Control Unit and contact RF Technologies.
WARNING: Pad may become damaged when used on a dynamic mattress
(air, water, etc.). Correct operation should be confirmed at every patient
rotation.
WA R N I N GS : The control unit will not alarm unless properly connected to the
nurse call system.
