Fall Savers Wireless Floor Sensor Transmitter - Instant Alert for Safer Care
- Standalone wireless transmitter for Fall Savers floor sensor mats, receiving the pressure detection signal from the connected floor sensor pad and wirelessly transmitting an alert to the paired Fall Savers receiver or monitor - the wireless transmission link that enables floor sensor pads without integrated transmitters to alert care staff without trailing cables between the sensor pad and the alert output device.
- Connects directly to compatible Fall Savers floor sensor pads including the TreadNought Hybrid Floor Sensor Pad (NCL-TN100) and standard Fall Savers wireless floor sensor pads, converting the wired pad detection signal to a wireless alert for transmission to the paired Fall Savers receiver - separating the floor sensor function from the wireless transmission function to allow each component to be replaced independently.
- Wireless alert delivery to paired Fall Savers receiver or monitor removes the cable between the floor-level sensor location and the staff alert point, allowing the monitor or receiver to be positioned at the optimal staff response location rather than constrained to proximity of the floor sensor by a trailing cable that crosses walking areas.
- Separate transmitter format allows floor sensor pads to be replaced independently when they wear out through high-traffic loading, without replacing a still-functional transmitter - reducing the replacement cost per monitoring cycle compared with all-in-one sensor-and-transmitter units that retire both components simultaneously when the pad reaches end of service life.
Fall Savers Wireless Floor Sensor Transmitter: Standalone Wireless Link for Fall Savers Floor Sensor Pads
The Fall Savers Wireless Floor Sensor Transmitter is a standalone wireless transmitter that connects to compatible Fall Savers floor sensor pads and transmits pressure detection alerts wirelessly to the paired Fall Savers receiver or monitor. When a patient steps onto the connected floor sensor pad, the transmitter receives the detection signal and immediately sends a wireless alert to the care team's response point. This enables floor sensor pads without integrated transmitters - including the TreadNought Hybrid Floor Sensor Pad - to operate as part of a wireless monitoring system without trailing cables between the floor sensor and the alert output device.

Clinical and Regulatory Compliance
NICE Guideline NG147 (Falls in Older People) supports floor sensor monitoring as early-alert fall prevention: the wireless transmitter provides the signal delivery link that makes floor sensor monitoring viable at locations where trailing cables between the floor-level sensor pad and the alert output device would cross walking areas and create secondary trip hazards. CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) is served by the cable-free floor installation: alert delivery without floor-level cables removes an equipment-created hazard from the monitoring location. CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) benefits from the component separation: the floor sensor pad and the transmitter are separately maintained and replaced on independent schedules based on each component's wear pattern - the pad degrades through mechanical compression while the transmitter degrades through electronic use - allowing optimised replacement cycles for each component rather than a single cycle for a combined unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Floor Sensor Transmitter interchangeable with the Bed and Chair Sensor Transmitter (NCL-51170)?
The Floor Sensor Transmitter (NCL-51160) and the Bed and Chair Sensor Transmitter (NCL-51170) are separate products optimised for their respective sensor pad types and are not interchangeable for their primary applications. Floor sensor pads use a different connection format and detection circuit from bed and chair sensor pads, and each transmitter is designed to interface correctly with its compatible pad type. Using the floor transmitter with a bed or chair pad, or the bed and chair transmitter with a floor pad, may result in incorrect signal processing or no alert transmission. Use each transmitter with its specified pad type and confirm compatibility with the supplier if uncertain about the connection format between a specific pad and transmitter combination.
How is the Floor Sensor Transmitter positioned relative to the floor sensor pad, and does it need to be attached to the pad?
The Fall Savers Wireless Floor Sensor Transmitter connects to the floor sensor pad via a short cable and is typically positioned adjacent to or behind the pad rather than on top of it or the floor surface, to avoid creating an additional floor-level hazard. Common positions include mounting the transmitter on the bed frame leg or wall surface adjacent to the floor pad, with the connecting cable managed to keep it flush against the furniture or wall rather than crossing open floor areas. The transmitter should be positioned within the connection cable length from the pad, at a height and position that protects it from being stepped on, kicked or caught during normal room activity. Confirm the recommended transmitter positioning method with the supplier and include transmitter position in the fall prevention monitoring plan documented in the patient's care record.
