Alert-it P139A Quick Start Manual

Quick-start guide for P139A Radio linked Bedside Monitor systems (S1020, S1016) The P139B is a flexible monitor capable of using a range of sensing elements and passing an alarm to a portable Nurse Call Pager. We have provided your system with a selection of our sensors to best suit your needs and set any operating parameters as best we can within our experience and information you provided. This leaflet is a quick-start guide to installing, testing and using your system. After installation we are pleased to offer you a full system check via our telephone helpline, and would urge you to use this service. Should you wish to change any of the operating parameters or modify your system in any way, then detailed handbooks are available on request or on-line at www.alert-it.co.uk/handooks/ For S1016 install the Bed Occupancy Mat (C) on top of the mattress under a suitable cover sheet, in a position that ensures the maximum body weight is lying on the mat, typically below the upper torso. Under the shoulder area is a good place if an alarm is required before the users feet touch the floor. The system components and connection details are shown overleaf. The actual range of sensors provided will depend on your order requirements Turn on the P39 by pressing the MENU key for 3 seconds.. The P139 has a internal battery which will charge whenever the power supply is plugged in. If the battery becomes discharged then a fault message will be transmitted to the pager. Turn on the Pager by pressing the MENU button for 3 seconds (in the event of no response then charge the battery for at least 5 minutes) Follow the test sequence as appropriate: for sensor provided Breathing: Lie on the bed and note that the breathing symbol (b) appears on the display as you exhale (the breathing tick can also be heard if enabled). The sensitivity can be adjusted Bed Movement.: Tap the mattress and note at each tap that the # symbol appears. The amount of force needed to make the light flicker can be adjusted Sound: Make a sharp click near the sensor and note that an “ear” symbol appears on the display. The sensitivity can be adjusted Bed Occupancy: With the mat plugged in and no-one in the bed the word VACANT should appear. Lie on the bed and this should change to OCCUPIED Moisture.: If enabled the sensor MUST be connected or a fault alarm will occur. Connect the two press-studs on the sensor mat with a metal object and the Urination or Vomit alarm will occur (as appropriate). A Breathing Alarm will always occur when there is no-one in bed, UNLESS the Bed Occupancy sensor is used and set to disable the alarms when VACANT. For this reason it is recommended to disable the Breathing Alarms while experimenting with the setting Remember that most sensors operate with a time delay to reduce false alarms. When a sensor is stimulated the corresponding time delay starts. If the sensor activity stops then the time delay is reset without sending an alarm. If the sensor remains activated the alarm will be transmitted after the delay, and the ALARM light will illuminate. The pager will now show the alarm and will normally also sound an appropriate audible alarm (which can be silenced either permanently or for 5 minutes while attending the client). The pager can also be set to vibrate (see setup sheet). Any alarm that is latched can only be cleared at the pager by pressing the button marked MENU on the P139 front panel. If this action is taken while the sensor is still detecting an alarm condition (eg while the occupant is out of bed), then the alarm will show “SUSPENDED” and will no longer send alarms until the safe condition is restored (eg occupant back in bed) Install the sensing components Connect to P139 and test Normal Operation These tests must be repeated regularly to check the sensors In order to reset a moisture alarm, then the cotton vomit sheet must be removed and replaced or the plastic urination sheet can be wiped clean with disinfectant and dried. The cotton sheet can then be laundered. The optional Moisture Sensing mat is connected to it’s connecting lead using press- studs and then placed either over the pillow for vomit detection (H) or on top of the mattress (over the Bed Occupancy mat if fitted) in the region of the groin for urination monitoring (I). H I Install the Bed Movement & Breathing Sensor (B) underneath the mattress on a firm bed base, in a position below the rib cage. Its task is to monitor the smallest bed movements transmitted through the mattress. B The sound sensor is built into the case, which should therefore be as close as possible to the client if sound sensing is required Please refer to the Supervisor Handbook for details on how to tune each sensor for a specific client

Any unused sensors will have their menu hidden (see handbook to change this) . The other alarm functions can then be enabled one at a time as confidence is gained at each level. The table below shows the recommended default start setting for alarms and the pager indication that will occur. It can be used to record the actual settings used
