WARNING

Read and follow these Installation instructions, particularly the warnings and cautions, before using your Bed-Check ® USB Interface unit.

Use your Model Vr Control Unit in conjunction with your facility’s fall management program. Bed-Check ® Model Vr units are not a substitute for proper nursing care. The effectiveness of the Bed-Check ® system relies entirely on an immediate response by the caregiver to the alarm.

The Bed-Check ® Model Vr unit will not stop a person from leaving a bed, chair, wheelchair or room. It is intended only to alert a caregiver that a person may need assistance. Other interventions may still be required for some people.

The Bed-Check ® Model Vr unit and Bed-Check ® Sensormat ® can be defeated by a cognitively aware person, a person with only a few moments of lucidity or an uncooperative person.

Properly assess each individual before the Bed-Check ® Model Vr unit is used.

Visual monitoring by caregivers is required. Bed-Check

®

Sensormats

® may not be suitable for all high risk persons; restraints may be required for some people.

Test your Sensormats ® and Model Vr unit before each use. Make sure your Model Vr unit is working properly. If the Sensormats ® ately.

are no longer working discard them immedi-

Equipment Installation and Description

Set up:

1. Install the Vr Access ® II software program onto the computer.

2. Plug in the battery charger into the receptacle on the side of the Vr/USB interface box and into an available 110 V electrical outlet.

3. Plug the USB cable into an available USB port on the computer. If there are no extra ports on the computer, the end user must purchase a USB hub for additional ports.

4. Connect the data transfer cable to the receptacle in the Vr/USB interface box and to the POWER receptacle in the Model Vr.

Using the Vr Access ® II program:

5. Click “Read Device Settings” to connect the computer to the Model Vr.

6. Program the control unit or store the data for later printing of reports as desired.

For more information on programming the Model Vr refer to the section of this manual entitled “Programming the Control Unit” on page 10.

Status Light Functions:

The Vr/USB interface box uses two rechargeable 9V batteries. When they are charging, the yellow ‘CHARGING’ light on the front panel of the box will flash.

When the battery power reaches a usable threshold, the green ‘READY’ light will begin to flash indicating that the interface box is ready to operate. When unplugged from the charger, and not connected to the Model Vr both status lights will be off.

The green ‘READY’ light on the front panel of the box will flash when it is connected to the Model Vr assuming there is sufficient battery power for proper operation. During use, the battery power will drop and when it reaches a certain threshold, the interface box will begin emitting a ‘chirping’ sound (similar to a smoke detector) every few seconds. When this occurs, recharge the batteries as soon as possible. If the batteries are not recharged soon enough, the Vr/USB will turn itself off to protect the batteries. At that time, the green ‘READY’ light will turn off.

NOTE:The Vr/USB interface is intended to operate both the interface and the Model Vr mobile. Daily recharging of the batteries is recommended when the device is used daily and Weekly recharging when the device is not in use. Occasional use of the interface while the batteries are charging is also acceptable.

WARNING

Do not attempt to remove the rechargeable batteries from the Vr/USB Interface box. Only the

Vr/USB charger should be used to charge the batteries. Opening the unit will break the seal and void the warranty.

RELAY ACTION. The Relay Action refers to the electrical impulse that is sent to your nurse call system by the Control Unit. You may select from three types of impulses. You may also turn off the alarm impulse to the nurse call system by selecting “No Pull-Out Protection” and operate the unit independently of the nurse call system (not recommended).

The Model Vr Control Unit is programmed to recognize whether the nurse call cord is plugged into the unit during operation.

Note: ‘Pull-Out Protection’ is the normal operational mode in the Model Vr in all

Relay Action selections except when the ‘No Pull Out Protection’ option is selected.

When ‘Pull Out Protection’ is operational, the Model Vr will emit an alarm tone if weight is placed on the Sensormat ® and the nurse call cord is not plugged into the call system.

If the ‘No Pull-Out Protection’ is selected, the nurse call cord will not be operational and will not need to be plugged into the call system.

HOLD DELAY. The Hold Delay relates to the time, in seconds, which elapses from the moment the Control Unit senses weight on the Sensormat ® until the

Control Unit begins to monitor. The range of time which may be selected is from 1 second to 20 seconds. We recommend that the Control Unit be set to not more than

5 seconds (the normal factory setting). Click the up arrow button to select the

Hold Delay in seconds.

There is a separate and distinct nested hold time programmed into the Control Unit.

If weight (patient remains in a bed or chair on the mat) is on the Sensormat

® and the

Control Unit is MONitoring, the care giver may press the RESET button on the face of the Control Unit and place the unit in HOLD (light blinking/waiting) status.

The unit will remain in a temporary (interim) HOLD status for 25 seconds. After 25 seconds the Control Unit will again begin to monitor. During this HOLD (waiting) period the patient may be removed from the bed (weight is off the Sensormat

®

) and the unit will begin a continuous HOLD (solid light) status until the patient is returned to the bed.

Upon the return of patient’s weight to the Sensormat

®

, the Control Unit will begin monitoring after the user’s preset Hold Delay has elapsed, e.g. 5 seconds. The nested 25 second hold delay may not be changed.

The care giver may adjust the patient/resident in bed, do local therapy, etc. during the (25 second) temporary HOLD period without setting off the alarm. If the

Control Unit begins to again monitor and it is taking longer to care for or remove the patient/resident from the bed, press RESET again to renew the 25 second temporary HOLD time. If the care giver has completed the task and the control unit is still in the temporary (blinking) HOLD status, the caregiver should press RESET to immediately begin MONitoring before leaving the room.

DELAY TIME. The Delay Time relates to the time in seconds which elapses from the moment the Control Unit senses that weight has been removed from the

Sensormat

® to the moment when an alarm is emitted locally and through the nurse call system. We recommend that the Delay Time be set at 3 seconds. Click the up arrow button to select the Delay Time.

VOLUME. The Volume of the local alarm emitted by the Control Unit may be adjusted from no audible alarm (0 setting) to 85 decibels (31 setting). The mental and physical state of the patient/resident and the distance of the alarm from healthcare personnel should be considered when setting the Volume level. Click the up arrow button to select the Volume level.

APPENDIX D - MANUAL PROGRAMMING

GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

The Bed-Check ® Model Vr offers a variety of features that may be manually programmed. The configuration information is retained in nonvolatile memory within the control unit. The configuration can be changed at any time. The nonvolatile memory is also used to retain statistical data. This data may be accessed using a laptop or desktop computer and special software available from Bed-Check ® .

Two methods are available for configuring the Model Vr:

1. Programming through the front panel of the Control Unit; and,

2. Programming with a personal computer (please refer to the section in this manual entitled Programming The Control Unit).

Note: Programming the Control Unit through the front panel is not possible if the

“3 SECOND LIMIT” box is checked. Refer to the section in this manual entitled

Programming The Control Unit for more information.

Manual programming should only be performed when this program manual is readily available as a guide.

Manually Programmable Features

There are five user selectable features, each offering several options:

1. Alarm tones;

2. Nurse call system relay action - the type of electrical impulse required by the nurse call system;

3. Hold delay - time in seconds that elapses before MONitoring occurs;

4. Alarm delay - time in seconds that elapses from the moment the patient’s weight is off the Sensormat

® to the moment of an alarm; and,

5. Alarm volume

The alarm tone is selected from a list of seven possible options. This allows a facility to choose a tone which is distinctive from other equipment in use around the patient, to use particular tones to prioritize patients relative to a particular patient’s risk for fall or to avoid becoming de-sensitized to a particular alarm by changing the tone infrequently.

28

R

Bed-Check

The Control Unit is shipped from the factory to operate with a normally open nurse call system. This is appropriate for the majority of nurse call systems. The Control

Unit may be programmed to operate with a normally closed nurse call system using a personal computer. A particular nurse call system, whether normally open or normally closed, will require either a continuous pulse, a single pulse or repeated pulses to activate the nurse call system. The relay action option allows the Control Unit to be adapted to the particular nurse call installation. An alarm will also sound if there is a bad connection between the nurse call cord and the Control Unit. In addition, the “No Pull-out Protection” option may be selected if the Control Unit will not be plugged into a nurse call system.

The HOLD delay is factory preset to five seconds. The HOLD delay is the period of time that elapses from the moment that the patient’s weight is placed upon the

Sensormat ® and when the Control Unit automatically begins the MONitoring mode.

Although five seconds will suffice for most facilities, there may be patients for which a different HOLD delay will work better, i.e. a particularly active patient may need a shorter delay while a patient who requires a lot of adjusting while being placed in bed may require a longer HOLD delay time. It is best to always press

RESET when leaving the patient as a matter of “good practice”, and not depend primarily on the automatic MONitoring function.

The alarm volume may be adjusted to balance the needs of alerting the staff to a patient getting out of bed against the needs of nearby patients who may be affected by the alarm. The volume may be adjusted from zero to nine when programming through the front panel or zero to 31 when programmed via a computer. In either case, zero silences the alarm. A nine programmed from the front panel will yield the same volume as a 31 programmed from a personal computer. The only difference in the two methods is the resolution available in arriving at or near an intermediate volume level.

Programming Through The Front Panel

Note: Programming the Control Unit through the front panel is not possible if the

“3 SECOND LIMIT” box is checked. Refer to the section in this manual entitled

Programming The Control Unit for more information.

Programming the Model Vr Control Unit through the front panel should not be attempted until this entire section has been reviewed and you understood. To

(re)program any individual feature you must begin at the beginning of the programming process; all of the steps for the entire programming process must be followed.

6. Use the up arrow to select the desired HOLD time. The HOLD time is adjustable from 1 to 9 seconds. Programming through a computer provides from

1 to 20 seconds HOLD time. This is the time in seconds that will elapse from the moment that the Control Unit senses the patient’s weight on the Sensormat ® and the unit will automatically begin MONitoring. After selecting the desired HOLD time, press RESET, a beep will follow. If you do not want to change the HOLD time, press RESET to skip this step - making no change.

The HOLD indicator should go out and the ALARM and MONitoring indicators should remain lit. The default is 5 seconds. (Figure 30)

7. Use the up arrow button to set the desired volume. The volume may be adjusted from zero to nine when programming through the front panel or zero to

31 when programmed via a personal computer. In either case, zero silences the alarm. A nine programmed from the front panel will yield the same volume as a

31 programmed from a personal computer.

If you have adjusted the volume, press RESET to save the new volume and end the programming mode. (Default volume is 20)

8. Adjust the delay setting using the arrow button to an appropriate seconds value, typically three seconds. This is the time that will elapse from the moment that the patient’s weight leaves the Sensormat ® and the alarm sounds. The range of options is 1 to 9 seconds. (Default is 3 seconds)

The unit is now programmed.
