New Proximity Sensor
We are delighted to announce the release of our revolutionary new fall alarm sensor for beds and chairs that is based on proximity, not pressure. Unlike most fall alarm sensors that require weight to operate, this new sensor works on the closeness of the patient. This means it can be used on patients of any weight, on air mattresses, and even under the shoulders of a patient sitting up in bed. The benefit is that the sensor will trigger the alarm before the patient rises, as opposed to traditional sensor pads which do not trigger an alarm until the patient is up.
Paul Cullen, Managing Director said of the new sensor pads, "This is a major breakthrough and solves a number of problems facilities have faced in deploying effective fall alarms that work before the patient is up and moving. Because weight and pressure are not required to operate the sensor, it offers earlier warning to caregivers by placing under the patient's shoulders in bed or on the back of a chair. This gives caregivers more time to reach the patient and helps reduce risk of a potential fall."
The sensor is available in a short stay 30-day version using Tyvek™, which is highly durable and very thin, or a long-term-use version of Mylar™, which is easily cleaned and sanitized. The sensor comes with a separate module and a selection of cables, enabling it to work with a variety of fall alarms.
