Fall Savers Wireless Chair Sensor with Pigtail - Rapid Response Patient Safety
- Chair exit sensor pad with integrated pigtail connector for fast, secure attachment to a compatible Fall Savers wireless transmitter, providing chair exit detection for care homes and settings that already have Fall Savers transmitters in service - the pigtail connector gives a direct link from the sensor pad to the transmitter without loose-fit connectors that can partially disengage during routine handling.
- Slim, low-profile design for discreet under-cushion placement, positioned beneath the seat cushion with no visible equipment above the cushion surface - monitoring remains invisible to the patient and visitors, supporting CQC Regulation 10 (Dignity and Respect) by maintaining the normal appearance of the seating in care home lounge and bedroom areas.
- Wipe-clean surface for infection control between patient uses, with the pigtail connector and its protective covering also cleanable as part of the complete sensor unit decontamination, consistent with care home and hospital infection control protocols for patient contact monitoring equipment that is reused between patients.
- Lightweight and portable for repositioning between chairs as the patient's seating location changes across the day or between patients across shifts, with the pigtail connector supporting rapid reconnection to the compatible Fall Savers transmitter at each new monitoring location without tools or complex configuration.
Fall Savers Wireless Chair Sensor with Pigtail: Chair Exit Pad with Fast-Connect Pigtail for Fall Savers Transmitters
The Fall Savers Wireless Chair Sensor with Pigtail is a slim chair exit sensor pad with an integrated pigtail connector for direct attachment to a compatible Fall Savers wireless transmitter. When the patient vacates the chair, the sensor detects the pressure change and the signal is transmitted wirelessly to the Fall Savers receiver or monitor via the connected transmitter. Designed for care settings where Fall Savers wireless transmitters are already deployed, the pigtail pad can be procured as a replacement or addition to the monitoring infrastructure without replacing working transmitters. Slim profile, wipe-clean surface and lightweight design for repositioning between chairs and patients. A compatible Fall Savers wireless transmitter is required separately.

Clinical and Regulatory Compliance
NICE Guideline NG147 (Falls in Older People) identifies chair exit as a primary fall risk event for patients with orthostatic hypotension, lower limb weakness or dementia-related gait instability. The chair sensor with pigtail provides the detection component that enables NG147-compliant chair exit monitoring when paired with a compatible transmitter and receiver. CQC Regulation 10 (Dignity and Respect) is supported by the slim under-cushion profile that keeps monitoring equipment invisible above the chair surface. CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) is served by the pigtail connection reliability: the secure physical pigtail link between the sensor pad and the transmitter reduces the connection loss risk that loose-fit connectors present when equipment is regularly handled for repositioning and cleaning. CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) benefits from the independent replacement capability: the pigtail pad can be replaced when it reaches the end of its service life without retiring a still-functional transmitter, supporting cost-effective maintenance of the fall prevention monitoring inventory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Fall Savers transmitter connects to this chair sensor's pigtail, and is it the same as for the bed pigtail sensor?
The Fall Savers Wireless Chair Sensor with Pigtail connects to the Fall Savers Wireless Bed and Chair Sensor Transmitter (NCL-51170), which is designed to accept both bed and chair pigtail sensor connections. Confirm this compatibility with the supplier for the specific transmitter model in use, as transmitter generations may have differences in connector compatibility. The floor sensor pigtail, if applicable, connects to the separate Fall Savers Wireless Floor Sensor Transmitter (NCL-51160), which is not interchangeable with the bed and chair transmitter for most configurations. Using the correct transmitter for the specific sensor type is important for correct alert signal delivery to the Fall Savers receiver.
Can the pigtail chair sensor replace the chair pad in a complete Fall Savers Chair Package if the original pad wears out?
The pigtail chair sensor is a replacement pad designed for use with a separately available transmitter, not a direct drop-in replacement for the wireless chair pad supplied in the Fall Savers Wireless Chair Package. The complete Chair Package uses a sensor pad with an integrated transmitter that connects directly to the Fall Savers receiver without a separate transmitter component. The pigtail pad requires a separate Fall Savers Wireless Bed and Chair Sensor Transmitter (NCL-51170) to function. If the pad in a complete wireless Chair Package wears out, confirm with the supplier which replacement pad type is compatible with the specific package configuration - the integrated-transmitter replacement or the pigtail-plus-separate-transmitter configuration - before purchasing.
