Before You Begin
The Posey KeepSafe Essential is an easy to use, restraint free addition
to your falls management program. The KeepSafe Essential provides an
early warning when a patient/resident attempts to rise from a bed, chair
or toilet. This system does not prevent falls or injury from falls and is not
a substitute for patient/resident care, rounding and a comprehensive
falls management protocol in your facility.
The KeepSafe Essential consists of an alarm with an adjustable cord
and magnet and activates as the patient/resident attempts to rise and
disconnects the magnet.
