Chair Pad Alarm Replacement Pad is a compatible replacement pressure pad for existing chair pad alarm systems. Over time, the pad component can wear or lose sensitivity, and replacing it restores the full safety performance of the alarm system without requiring replacement of the entire alarm unit.

Keeping alarm pads in good condition is important for reliable fall prevention monitoring. OxyCare supplies replacement pads to ensure that patients' existing safety equipment continues to perform as intended. Contact OxyCare to confirm compatibility with your current alarm unit.

Set-up Pressure Pad Alarm

• Select desired alarm and volume settings.
• Attach monitor to wheelchair, chair or bed using attached metal clip.
• Place the pad on chair or bed so the bulk of the patient's weight is resting on it. Plug the end of the pad cable into the pad jack on the bottom of the monitor.
• When the patient moves from the pad, the selected alarm tone sounds to remind the patient to sit or lay back down and alerts the caregiver that the patient is at risk of falling. The alarm signal shuts off when patient returns to the pad or the monitor is reset using the 2 button reset.
• Patient/Caregiver demonstrates each step and has a solid understanding.

Cleaning

Clean monitor and pad as necessary by wiping with clean cloth.
