The Bed Side Wedge Alarm Pad can be added to our Bed Side Wedges, Bed Side Wedges – Heat Sealed, or Bed Side Wedge – One Side to alert Carers when a Patient presses down on a Wedge while getting out of bed. It can also be used to alert Carers when a Patient is leaning against a Wedge.
The Alarm Pad is installed between the outer sleeve and the Wedge cushion. We recommend positioning the Alarm Pad on the side of the Wedge that faces toward the Patient, or on the outside.
Usually only one Alarm Pad will be needed, in a Wedge near the shoulders on the side of the bed that the Patient normally gets out of.
Note: These Pelican alarms are Heat Sealed. Wipe clean. Do not place in liquid.
CONNECTION OPTIONS
The Alarm Pad is available with an Alarm Box to sound inside the Patient’s room, or a 10 metre Extension Cord can be used so that the Alarm Box can be taken to another room. It is also available with a Nurse Call Plug, to sound an alert through a facility’s Nurse Call Paging System.
ADDING MORE ALARM PADS
Two Alarm Pads can be joined together using a Y-Connector, to plug into a single Alarm Box or Nurse Call Socket. Additional Alarm Pads can be connected as required by using multiple Y-Connectors plugged in to each other. For people who wish to use more than one Alarm Pad, the Alarm Pad & Y-Connector option is available in the drop down menu for ordering an Alarm Pad bundled with a Y-Connector, to add to an Alarm Pad with Alarm Box or Nurse Call Plug.
Note: The Alarm will not sound if the Patient tries to get out of bed and does not touch the Alarm Pad. If getting out of bed is a problem, we suggest using a Stand-Up Floor Alarm.
