Instructions:

• Place the non-slip Posey Grip on the mattress
• Position sensor on top of mattress, across width of bed, in one of two positions: directly under patient’s shoulders; alarm will sound when patient sits up or directly under patient’s buttocks; alarm will sound when patient moves off the sensor as in a bed exit
• Use the metal clips to secure the sensor to the mattress
• Place the linens on the bed over the sensor
• Connect the sensor to the Posey alarm unit
• Make sure the sensor cord is not stretched or stressed in any way and is clear from entanglement in the bed frame
• Cleaning: Wipe clean with liquid disinfectant. Do not submerge in liquid or sterilize with heat

Warning:

• Read sensor and alarm instructions prior to use
• Never connect Posey sensors to other manufacturers’ alarm units
• Always test system per instructions prior to use
• Be sure restraint straps do not cross over sensor pad. Restraint straps may prevent alarm activation if patient falls off mattress
• When using a restraint, always use side rails in the “up” position
• The patient’s body or limb should not fit over, under, around, through or between side rails
• The alarm may fail to sound if the pad is bent or folded
