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 6.0 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.
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.
