Description
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
The Bed Fall Mat Alarm is a patient monitoring alarm used to alert carers when a person has stepped onto or out of bed onto the mat. It has a single layer of dense foam and is designed for use with most beds, preferably low-height beds. It is not intended for use where a fall may occur from a significant height or with bed rails raised.
A warning card is supplied to inform staff that the mat is in position. This should be displayed prominently to reduce tripping hazards. When not in use, the Bed Fall Mat can be folded and stored behind the bed head.
The main features of this product are:
- An effective bed fall mat alarm to help reduce injury from bed exits
- Alerts staff when a patient has left the bed
- Suitable for patients at risk of getting out of bed and falling
- Supplied with a warning sign to reduce tripping hazards
- Highly visible reflective edge tape for low-light visibility
- Single layer of dense foam construction
Inside the mat are contact sheets, which trigger the alarm. Over time, these contact sheets may wear and require replacement. Spare contact sheets are available so the entire product does not need to be replaced. We recommend purchasing spares with the initial order.
The spare parts available for this product include:

There are two alarm options:
- Alarm Box – produces an audible alert
- Nurse Call Plug – connects to the Nurse Call Paging System and alerts staff pagers
The Alarm Box has adjustable volume. The Nurse Call version plugs into the Nurse Call Paging System and includes a double adapter, allowing a standard nurse call button to be used simultaneously. Both options include a 16′ cable. A 10m / 32′ extension cord is also available and can be linked with additional cords to position the alarm box further away if required. Most facilities place the alarm box in the corridor or near the nurses’ station.
WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?
The Bed Fall Mat Alarm is suitable for patients under care where staff need to be alerted when they leave the bed.
BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Place the mat on the bed so it covers the shoulder and hip areas. Pass the securing ties under the mattress and attach them to the loops on the opposite side. Once the patient is in bed, activate the alarm. When the patient leaves the bed, the alarm will trigger and continue until it is switched off or the patient returns to bed.

Important
Alarm Warranty: 12 months. All Contact Sheets can be easily replaced if necessary.
Warning: When using a double adaptor, if the patient’s Nurse Call button is removed from the adaptor, then the automatic Nurse Call system may not alert staff. There may be occasions when the facility does not want the patient to have a Nurse Call button as they may have dementia and be pushing the button for no reason. We understand that the patients should always have access to a Nurse Call button, so if this is removed, we recommend documenting this in their care plan. If the patient’s Nurse Call button is removed then the Pelican Stand Up Alarm can be plugged directly into the wall socket without using the double adaptor.
Warning: Choking Hazard. The Alarm Box and Nurse Call plug includes a small component as part of the design. This product may not be suitable for an individual who has a tendency to place inedible objects in their mouth.
Patient Stand Up Alarms can be a very helpful way of monitoring a patient without physical or chemical restraining. They are normally used with people who stand up from a chair or get out of bed and could fall over. Sometimes, the patient may be able to walk, but due to dementia and mobility issues, they may put themselves or others in danger. Handle with Care. Do not walk in high heel shoes, use walking sticks, walking frames or place other sharp or blunt objects on the Mat People can fall in a variety of different ways. Pelican makes no express or implied guarantee that a patient will not sustain an injury.
