The Fall Savers Wireless Bed Package is a complete bed exit monitoring system supplied as a matched pair: the Fall Savers Wireless Monitor and a compatible wireless bed sensor pad. When the patient leaves the bed, the sensor pad detects the pressure change and wirelessly transmits an alert to the Wireless Monitor, enabling care staff to respond before the patient achieves an unsupervised standing position. The wireless connection between pad and monitor removes bedside cable management and allows the monitor to be positioned at the staff location best suited for prompt alert reception. Supplied as a complete system for immediate deployment in care homes, NHS wards and home care settings.

NICE Guideline NG147 (Falls in Older People) identifies bed exit as a high-risk fall moment for patients with dementia, post-operative confusion, orthostatic hypotension or nocturnal delirium, and recommends sensor-based monitoring as a component of multifactorial fall prevention for patients in these categories. The Fall Savers Wireless Bed Package provides the sensor-to-staff alert chain that NG147 recommends: sensor detection at the moment of bed exit, wireless transmission to the staff alert point, and audible notification enabling a rapid care response. CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) requires that fall risk identified in an individual's assessment is actively mitigated through appropriate equipment: the complete package format ensures that both the detection component (sensor pad) and the alerting component (monitor) are in place and matched as a functional system, rather than relying on separately procured components that may not be confirmed compatible.
Does the Fall Savers Wireless Bed Package work with existing Fall Savers monitors already in use at the care home?
If a care home already has Fall Savers Wireless Monitors in use, the wireless bed sensor pad from this package can be paired with an existing monitor rather than the monitor supplied in the package, subject to pairing compatibility between the sensor and the specific monitor model. The complete package is designed for settings where no existing Fall Savers monitor infrastructure is in place. Where existing monitors are available, purchasing the sensor pad and transmitter components separately may be more cost-effective than purchasing the complete package. Contact the supplier to confirm compatibility between the sensor pad in this package and existing monitor models before making this decision.
What is the difference between the Fall Savers Wireless Bed Package and the Fall Savers Wireless Monitor with Wired Bed Pad?
The Wireless Bed Package (NCL-51001) uses a fully wireless sensor pad: the pad itself contains or connects to a wireless transmitter that sends the alert signal wirelessly to the monitor. The Wireless Monitor with Wired Bed Pad (NCL-51011) uses a wired sensor pad: the pad connects to the monitor via a physical cable, with the monitor unit then transmitting wirelessly to the broader alert system. The wireless pad configuration is preferred where cable management at the bedside is not feasible - for example, in home care settings or where bed repositioning is frequent. The wired pad configuration provides a direct physical signal path from pad to monitor that some care settings prefer for its guaranteed connection reliability.
