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.
