Note
If the patient is allowed to get out of bed without the nurse being
notified, you can disable the Bed Exit alert by touching the bell in
the In Bed section of the Home Screen.
Configuring the Bed Exit Alert
Bed Exit alert can be configured in terms of alert volume and tone (See Setting Individual
Alert Volume and Tone, page 42) and sensitivity.
Setting Bed Exit Sensitivity
Press the Bed Exit Settings button on the lower right of the Home screen. The Bed Exit
Settings Area will open (Figure 26).
Figure 26: the Bed Exit Settings Area
The Bed Exit Alert can be set either to provide an immediate alert when the patient exits
the bed (varying in 6 levels of bed exit sensitivity levels) or to provide an alert when the
patient has been out of bed for a period ranging from 3-20 minutes.
Use the arrows to choose the desired delay or sensitivity setting. After 3 sec the arrows
will disappear and the change will be applied.
• If you want an immediate alert when a patient exits the bed, click the arrows
to choose a sensitivity ranging from 1-6, with 1 being the least sensitive and
6 being the most sensitive. Note that sensitivities 5 and 6 are highly sensitive
and might be triggered due to excessive movements of a patient while in bed.
• If you want the system to alert after a period of time that the patient is out of
bed, choose the time duration you would like between when the patient
leaves the bed, and when the alert sounds. Use the same set of arrows that
you use to set the sensitivity to select the number of minutes for the delayed
Bed Exit alert.
The Bed Exit alert is disabled by default. Enable the Bed Exit alert by pressing the bell
icon.
