If the system cannot detect (or measure) the momentary heart or respiration rate for more
than 1 minute, the last measured result of HR or RR will be displayed on screen in grey
and the blinking heart or lung icon will stop blinking.
Positioning the Bedside and Sensing Units
The Bedside Unit should be mounted to the wall beside the patient’s bed. The power
cable should be connected to the power outlet and the short “telephone” cable should be
connected to the monitor from one side and to the sensor cable on the other side. Please
make sure the cable is not trailing on the floor.
Place the Sensing Unit under the patient’s mattress, and locate it underneath the chest
area, horizontally. Position the sensor so the top surface is facing upwards (as marked)
(See Figure 9). Position the cord that connects between the Sensor and the Bedside Unit
so that it comes out from under the mattress from the head of the bed, in order to not
interfere with the movement of the patient in and out of bed. If the sensor is placed on a
metal framework that does not allow solid support for the sensor, please consult your
authorized EarlySense representative.
Warning
If you mount the Monitor to the wall, ensure that the wall-mount is not
placed directly above the patient's bed.
!
Caution
The patient should not be in direct contact with the Sensing
Unit. A mattress, mattress pad or mattress cover should
always be placed as a barrier between the Sensing Unit of the
EarlySense System and the patient.
