The Posey 8283 is a 30 day bed sensor pad: a single patient use pressure pad that lies over the mattress and plugs by cable into a Posey fall alarm. When the person moves off the pad the alarm sounds. The pad has no alarm of its own and is powered through the cable by the alarm unit. It measures 330 mm by 813 mm with a 2440 mm cable to the alarm.

Who it suits
Short admissions and fall risk assessment periods in hospital, respite and aged care, where a bed exit alert is needed for a defined period and the pad is discarded with the patient. Suits confused or impulsive clients who try to get up unassisted at night, and gives staff an alert before the person is on their feet.
