Pre-Emptive Alarm Silence
When the Bed Exit System is on, it can be
silenced with the Pre-emptive alarm
button in the lower left corner of the
screen for 30 seconds and then
suspended for 10 to 30 minutes without
turning the system off.
To activate the Pre-Emptive Alarm
Silence
Press the alarm silence control located at
the lower left of the GCI/ Touchscreen
then press the Alarm Silence control. This will allow patient movement or procedures to be done
without the alarm sounding.
Silence a Bed Exit Alarm
When the bed exit system is activated, and it detects
an alarm condition, an alarm will sound and a
message will show on the GCI.
Press Silence to acknowledge the alarm. During the
Silence mode, the system stops monitoring the
patient movement; therefore the system does not
turn on the audible alarm or send a nurse call alarm.
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 Alarm 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.
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 alarm. If the bed does not detect a patient after the time
expires, the alarm will sound. This time can be configured by your facility maintenance personnel.
• Resume—immediately turns on the bed exit alarm on.
• Alarm Off—turns the bed exit alarm off.
Change Alarm Volume
The alarm volume can be changed from the default value to something softer.
Change the Alarm Tone
The alarm tone can be changed. Contact your facility maintenance personnel.
