Device Information
Description of the SW Rest Secure System™ (RSS)
The purpose of the SW Rest Secure System™ is to alert the care provider that a patient is
attempting to exit the bed or is in 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 makes an attempt to get out of bed an alarm will sound either
at the hand control or activate the nurse call signal.
The SW Rest Secure System™ 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 care
provider that the patient needs attended to or checked on. It has the capability to alert the care
provider by an audible tone or activating the nurse call signal.

Bed Exit Alarm: Use Alarm
The bed exit alarm function on the SW Rest Secure System™ alerts the care provider that a
patient is attempting to exit the bed or is in an immediate risk of falling. This is especially
important in settings where continuous surveillance of the patient is not feasible.
WARNING: The bed is to be used in accordance with each facility’s policies
and procedures.
There are 3 bed exit alarm sensitivity settings:
High Sensitivity: Detects patient movement, typically this setting would be used by
the care provider when needing to be notified of any movement,
generally patients at very high risk for falls.
Medium Sensitivity: Detects a patient attempting to exit the bed, typically this setting
would be used by the care provider in situations where the patient
is at a moderate to high risk for falls.
Low Sensitivity: Detects when a patient has exited the bed. This setting would
typically be used by the care provider in situations where the
patient responds to verbal or audible commands and is at a lower
risk for falls. If the patient is on an air support surface a lower
sensitivity setting may be more appropriate as well.
NOTE: High and medium sensitivity settings may detect other movement, such as air therapy
mattresses.
High Sensitivity Medium Sensitivity Low Sensitivity
To set the bed exit alarm:
In order to set the bed exit alarm, the patient must be in the bed prior to selecting the desired
sensitivity level. To set the alarm, press the BED EXIT button until the desired sensitivity is
selected. When there are no indicator lights on, the alarm is disabled. When a bed exit alarm has
