In relation to the falls alarms can you use the bed sensor on a chair?
Yes, either the bed sensor or the chair sensor can be used in either a bed or a chair. Sometimes it is better to put the sensor on the back of the chair rather than the seat - this will alarm as the individual bends forward prior to standing. Likewise, in a bed it is sometimes better to place the bed sensor at shoulder level to alarm as the individual sits up.
Falls Prevention Safety Equipment.
Falls can occur at any age, in any setting, and are a leading cause of injury-related hospital admissions in Australia.
Healthcare facilities face the ongoing challenge to provide a safe and comfortable environment to both carers and patients alike. Falls happen abruptly, in a variety of situations; when patients become restless or distressed about their condition, when trying to mobilise themselves unaided, or when simply lose their balance. Falls are a hindrance to a patient’s healing process and require costly additional care for those whose health is already compromised. It is vital that patients are supported at all times – for their personal wellbeing and benefit, and also to minimise the risk of possible legal ramifications for healthcare facilities.
At Keystone Healthcare, we understand the importance of fall prevention equipment and the integral role it plays in reducing injury, minimising both physical and legal risks, and protecting the wellbeing of patients. Because of this, our range of fall prevention solutions offer uncompromising patient care.
