ABOUT THIS PRODUCT These products are accessories to the Bed Side Helper (sold separately), which is a product used to help people hold onto something when getting in and out of bed. The Alarm Pad can be added to the Bed Side Helper to alert the carer and the patient that they are leaning against the Helper, or if they knock it in the event of a seizure. Another use is for patients to tell a carer that they need assistance if they are not able to operate a nurse call pager. There are two options with regard to the Alarm alerting carers: Alarm Box – An Alarm Box which makes a sound. The Alarm Box has variable volumes. Nurse Call Plug – This plugs into the nurse call system and sets off the carers’ pagers. The Nurse Call version plugs into the nurse call system and comes with a double adapter. This allows for a normal nurse call button to still be used in conjunction with the alarm. Both options come with a 5m / 16ft cable. Also available is a 10m / 33ft Extension Cord. These can be linked together so that the alarm box can be placed virtually anywhere. Most facilities keep the alarm box in the corridor, but some have wired it through the ceiling, across other rooms to the nurses’ station. If there are two Bed Side Helpers being used together on one side of the bed, or on opposite sides, then two Alarm Pads can be joined together using a Y-Connector so that they can plug into a single Alarm Box or Nurse Call Plug. More Alarm Pads can be connected as required by using multiple Y-Connectors plugged in to each other. WHO SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT? This accessory products is suitable for people who use the Pelican Bed Side Helper. HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT Remove the Cover from the Bed Side Helper.
