The Bed Pad sensor (76cm x 25cm) is placed on top of the mattress under the bedding across the bed at about kidney level. When the client gets up from the bed, a pager alarm is triggered to alert the carer.
The Bed Pad is connected via a special interface to an Apollo transmitter. When the patient gets out of bed, the Apollo Pager receiver carried by the carer will beep and vibrate to sound the alert. The PRX-WITOP Alphanumeric Pager Receiver can also give the carer more patient specific information. eg. it can be programmed to display the room/bed number when a patient calls and therefore suits supported accommodation settings. The pager also has a user accessible menu to adjust the alert sound, vibration, etc.
The transmitter requires 3AAA batteries, the Pager receiver is rechargeable and is supplied with charger. Typically charged once per week. The pager has an excellent range of up to 300 metres, suitable in most homes, group homes or aged care facilities.
