Monitoring with a Sensor
(Continued)
3. Make sure sensor lays FLAT on chair or bed surface, directly under patient’s weight, and
that sensor cord is not folded back under the pad.
4. Check that there is no risk that chair sensor pad will be trapped in a “hammocking”
chair seat. To reduce this risk, place a foundation cushion on seat under sensor (see
Posey catalog no. 7110C Semi-Rigid Wheelchair Foundation).
5. Make sure mattress continues to make contact with the sensor and will activate the
alarm when pressure is removed, even if the head or foot of the bed is articulated.
