Fall Management System
Fall Management System
The Fall Management System provides restraint-free monitoring of a patient who may try to leave a bed or
chair without assistance. The Fall Management System can be configured to interface with the software
along with your facility’s nurse call system. An Assistance Required alarm is activated in response to a Fall
Management System alert when interfaced with the Series 6.0 Software.
The Sensor Pad of the Fall Management System is placed on a patient’s bed or chair and connected
to a Control Unit. If a patient removes his or her weight from the Sensor Pad, the Control Unit
issues an audible alert. Refer to the applicable Control Unit’s manual for detailed information about
using the Fall Management System.
WARNING: The Fall Management System may not be suitable for patients
who are “AT HIGH RISK FOR FALL.” Other monitoring measures may also
be required. The Fall Management System should not be a substitute for
routine visual monitoring protocol by caregiving personnel.
WARNING: Due to the possibility of strangulation, all cables should be routed
away from the patient’s throat. When securing the strap, take up any extra
slack in the cord that may become tangled with a patient’s bed or chair. Failure
to do so may result in patient injury. This device should not be used in the
presence of flammable anesthetic mixtures.
