Description

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

The Stand Up Bed Alarm is placed on top of the mattress underneath the bottom bed sheets. It is triggered when the person gets out of bed. It is made with a sewn, wipeable vinyl cover and has two ties to secure it around the mattress.

The alarm is typically positioned so that the person’s hips and shoulders rest on the pad. This ensures sufficient weight is applied as the person turns or shifts position between hips and shoulders. The unit includes a built-in delay of approximately 0.5 seconds to reduce false alarms caused by minor repositioning.

Some users under 40kg / 90lbs may not generate enough pressure for reliable activation. Spare internal contact sheets are available.

There are two options for alerting carers:

  • Alarm Box – produces an audible sound
  • Nurse Call Plug – connects to the Nurse Call Paging System and triggers carers’ pagers

The Alarm Box has variable volume and comes with a 16′ cable. The Nurse Call version connects to the Nurse Call Paging System and includes a double adaptor, allowing a standard nurse call button to be used alongside the alarm.

A 10m/32′ Extension Cord is also available. Extension cords can be linked together so the alarm box can be positioned virtually anywhere. Most facilities place the alarm box in corridors, although some route it through ceilings or adjacent rooms to the nurses’ station.

Inside the mat are contact sheets, which trigger the alarm. Over time, these can wear and will need replacement. We supply spare internal contact sheets so the full product does not need to be replaced.

We recommend purchasing spare contact sheets with your order. Click here to view a video showing how to change the Stand Up Floor Alarm contact sheets.

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

The Stand Up Bed Alarm is suitable for people under care where carers or nurses need to know when they are moving off the bed.

BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Place the mat on the mattress so that the person’s hips and shoulders are positioned over the pad. It is recommended to place the alarm under incontinence sheets or pads, ensuring the additional material does not prevent activation. Excess padding may distribute weight too widely and reduce sensitivity. Attach the ties securely under the mattress.

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?

Wipeable material, foam, and various electrical components.

WARNING

Patient Stand Up Alarms can be a very helpful way of monitoring a patient without physical or chemical restraint. They are normally used for people who stand from a chair or get out of bed and may be at risk of falling.

Some patients may be able to walk, but due to dementia and mobility issues, they may place themselves or others in danger.

Important

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.
