RSS Description
The purpose of the RSS is to alert the caregiver that a patient is attempting to exit the
bed or is at an immediate risk of falling in settings where continuous surveillance of a
patient is not possible. This is achieved by precisely monitoring a change in patient position.
When the patient attempts to get out of bed an alarm will sound and the nurse call signal will
activate.
The RSS also has an integrated scale that utilizes a transducer-based system to
accurately record the weight of the patient while in the bed. It also has the capability to
record the weight automatically every day for 30 days at user-defined intervals.
Another feature is the protocol timer, which can be set for 1, 2, or 4 hours, to alert the caregiver
that the patient needs attention to or checked on. It has the capability to alert the caregiver by
an audible tone or activate the nurse call signal.
