M200 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide iii
FAILURE TO HEED THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO OR THE
DEATH OF PERSONS IN YOUR CARE.
• A low battery condition in the Monitor is indicated by the Low
Battery indicator flashing YELLOW once every 3 seconds, a Negative
Confirmation Tone, as well as a “Low Battery” voice indication.
Immediately change the monitor’s batteries.
• Test the M200 Fall Monitor and Sensormat pad before each use and
inspect the cords and pads for signs of damage. Immediately replace
any components with signs of wear or damage.
• Sensormats may not be effective with air type bed mattresses or air
type chair cushion pads; test before using.
• Do not place the monitor within 0.3 m (1 ft.) of and facing the
resident. Placing the Monitor on a wheelchair back is acceptable as
long as the monitor is facing away from the resident.
• The M200 Fall Monitor is only one part of your facility’s fall
management program. The M200 Fall Monitor is not a substitute for
proper nursing care or routine visual monitoring by caregivers. The
effectiveness of the M200 Fall Monitor relies entirely on an immediate
response by the caregiver to the M200 Fall Monitor system alarm.
• The M200 Fall Monitor system will not stop a person from leaving a
bed or chair. It is intended only to alert a caregiver that a patient or
resident may need assistance. Other interventions may be required.
• Keep the Sensormat pad flat at all times. Folding the pad may damage
it. Do not use the pad if it has been folded.
• Do not immerse the Sensormat pads in liquids. The pad will not
operate properly if the pad is exposed to excessive liquids. If the pad is
immersed in liquid, discard it immediately.
• Operators of this equipment must be familiar with the functions and
usage as described in this manual, and must be properly trained in the
resident care policies and procedures of the facility.
• Any modification of this equipment is not allowed, voids all
warranties, and may result in injury to or death of persons in your
care.
