To Activate the Pre-Emptive Alert Silence
To Silence a Bed Exit Alert
After the system has been in Silence mode for 30 seconds, the system will try to arm itself for the
previously set Bed Exit mode.
• Suspend—if silence is not a long enough interval, suspend allows 10 to 30 minutes more time
before the bed attempts to re-arm the alert. If the bed does not detect a patient after the time
expires, the alert will sound. This time can be configured by your facility maintenance personnel.
• Resume—immediately turns on the bed exit alert on.
• Alert Off—turns the bed exit alert off.
Press the alarm silence control located at the lower left of
the GCI screen. This will allow patient movement or
procedures to be done without the alert sounding.
When the bed exit system is activated, and it detects an
alarm condition, an alert will sound and a message will
show on the GCI screen.
Press Silence to acknowledge the alert. During the Silence
mode, the system stops monitoring the patient
movement; therefore the system does not turn on the
audible alert or send a nurse call alert. While the system is
in Silence mode, you can change the position of the
patient or assist the patient out of the bed.
Then, a new screen shows where you can select: Resume,
Suspend, or Alert Off. If nothing is selected on this screen
the system will wait 30 seconds to allow the caregiver time
to help the patient out of the bed, if for example the
patient needs to use the bathroom.
