PATIENT POSITION MONITORING DEVICE

摘要

A personal monitoring system includes a pad for positioning under a patient. A sensor in the pad detects when the patient gets off of the pad. A radio in communication with the sensor transmits a radio frequency event signal to a monitor positioned away from the pad that provides an alarm signal in response to the patient getting off of the pad. The monitor transmits a confirmation signal to the pad to inform the pad to cease transmitting the event signal.
