Drive Medical 013606 Bed Sensor Pad Alarm System

The Drive Medical 013606 Bed Sensor Pad Alarm System is a valuable tool for caregivers seeking to enhance patient safety and prevent falls. This system is designed to provide timely alerts when a patient attempts to get out of bed or a chair unassisted. The system comprises two key components: a pressure-sensitive sensor pad and an audio alarm unit. The thin, flexible sensor pad is placed discreetly under the patient on the bed or chair, and it detects changes in pressure. When the patient attempts to get up and pressure is removed from the pad, the connected alarm unit is activated, emitting an audible alert to notify the caregiver.

This immediate notification allows caregivers to respond quickly and provide assistance, reducing the risk of falls and related injuries. The sensor pad measures 11 x 30 inches, providing ample coverage. The alarm unit itself is equipped with several important features, including a safety alert to ensure proper operation, a convenient on/off switch for easy control, and a low battery warning to prevent unexpected power loss. This system is particularly beneficial for elderly individuals, patients recovering from surgery, or anyone at risk of falls.
