Fall Savers Infrared Bedside Monitor – Battery Powered

Ensure Patient Safety with the Fall Savers Infrared Bedside Monitor

The monitor is a popular choice for care homes and hospitals in private rooms to alert caregivers when a patient attempts to get out of bed but with the right positioning can also be used to monitor if they try to leave their room, allowing more flexibility, especially for dementia patients. These passive infrared sensors are also popular at home where people are caring for family and loved ones and want to monitor them, without them feeling they’re constantly being watched.

Using bedside infrared monitoring to keep residents and patients safe, while maintaining dignity

Having to go to a room to check on someone frequently creates extra work for caregivers, especially when they should be resting themselves, and disturbs the sleep of the person being checked.

Audio and video based monitors take away privacy and may make people feel like they are being treated like children, plus they only work if they are constantly monitored. The infrared alarm in contrast alerts the caregiver only when needed and with a portable receiver the person can get on with other work and activities, or even sleep.

Using the Bedside Monitor

The monitor can be setup on a wall, on a bedframe or headboard or similar and with adjustable clamps can be setup and moved as needed. Then setup with either a silent alarm for use with a nurse call system or audible alarm. The device requires a standard 9 volt battery and can also be plugged into the mains: giving the ideal balance between flexibility and reliability.
