Adaptive Bed Alarm® Bed Exit System PATIENT SAFETY PERSPECTIVE: Only patient fall prevention monitoring system on a bed that utilizes the patient s center of gravity. By using each patient s center of gravity this system is more patient specific to monitor patient safety in regards to bed related falls. When a siderail is lowered the adaptive bed alarm condenses the bed alarm zone automatically to put it in the safest zone to best prevent a fall. CLINICAL SAFETY PERSPECTIVE: This feature will reduce the chance of a patient fall causing further injury to the patient and longer length of stay. Considerable costs to the hospital associated with patient fall CAREGIVER SAFETY PERSPECTIVE: Adaptive Bed Alarm® Bed Exit alleviates inconsistent alarming with its patient specific center of gravity model. This enables nurses to monitor patient falls more accurately. PATIENT SATISFACTION: Allows patient to be in a safe environment with a significantly reduced possibility of a bed related fall. This feature is exclusive to Stryker. Other vendors technology may not adequately help to prevent falls which can cause serious injuries and be very costly.
