Atlas Health Care Pty. Ltd. is a US-based company that supplies a wide range of hospital products and consumables such as surgical gowns, surgical adhesives, sterilisation pouches, continence care products as well as bed monitors and bed rail monitors to hospitals all over the world. The company supplies bed monitors manufactured by INVISA – BEAM. These bed monitors use an invisible beam to define the edge of the bed and help to monitor the patient or resident for all 24 hours. Bed monitors are preventive patient monitoring systems designed to eliminate the risk of patients, especially those still recovering from surgery from accidentally falling off the hospital bed. The cost of a second surgery and subsequent rehabilitation is very high both for the patient and the hospital.
Investing in bed monitors helps to eliminate this kind of mishaps in healthcare environments. The patient can be monitored 24 hours using these bed monitors without any need for the nurse to be physically present near the patient. Whenever the patient moves from the bed, the motion sensors trigger the monitoring system and the monitor alerts the nurse immediately. Bed monitors are patient fall prevention systems that can be easily installed on the patient’s bed. A clamp sensor is fixed onto the bed and aligned to define the edge of the bed after the plug is connected to the power source. These bed monitors can also be transferred from one bed to another.
