Fall Savers Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor (Sensor Pad Only)
- Foldable wireless bed sensor pad supplied without a transmitter, for use in care homes and settings where Fall Savers wireless transmitters are already in service and a replacement or additional sensor pad is required without the cost and complexity of procuring another complete sensor-plus-transmitter unit.
- Detects bed exit when the patient's weight leaves the pad surface, with the detection signal sent to the connected Fall Savers transmitter which then wirelessly alerts the paired Fall Savers receiver or monitor - enabling care staff to respond before the patient achieves an unsupervised standing position during overnight or daytime monitoring periods.
- Foldable construction for compact storage and simple transport between patient uses and between rooms, with the fold reducing the storage footprint compared with a rigid mat of equivalent sensor area, supporting the equipment rotation logistics in care home monitoring equipment stores.
- Wipe-clean surface for infection control between patient uses, maintained as a single cleanable pad without attached transmitter hardware, simplifying the decontamination process between patients in line with care home and hospital infection control protocols for reusable patient contact monitoring equipment.
Fall Savers Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor Pad: Sensor Pad Only for Use with Existing Fall Savers Transmitters
The Fall Savers Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor (Sensor Pad Only) is a foldable bed exit detection pad for use in care homes where compatible Fall Savers wireless transmitters are already in place. The pad detects when the patient leaves the bed and transmits the detection signal to the connected Fall Savers transmitter, which wirelessly alerts the paired Fall Savers receiver or monitor. Supplied without a transmitter, this pad is appropriate as a replacement for a worn pad or as an additional monitoring pad where transmitter hardware is already available. Foldable for compact storage, wipe-clean for infection control. A compatible Fall Savers wireless transmitter and receiver are required separately.

Clinical and Regulatory Compliance
NICE Guideline NG147 (Falls in Older People) supports bed exit monitoring as a clinical fall prevention intervention for high-risk patients: the sensor pad provides the detection function that enables this monitoring when combined with a compatible transmitter and receiver. CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) requires monitoring equipment to be maintained in operational order: sensor pads are consumable components that degrade through regular use and cleaning, requiring periodic replacement to maintain detection performance. The sensor-pad-only format allows the pad to be replaced independently of still-functional transmitter hardware, maintaining monitoring continuity without the cost of replacing complete sensor-and-transmitter units when only the pad has reached end of service life. CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) is supported by the ability to document pad replacement separately from transmitter maintenance in the equipment governance record, providing a clear maintenance history for each component of the monitoring system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Fall Savers transmitter is required to use this sensor pad, and how does the pad connect to it?
The Fall Savers Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor Pad (Sensor Pad Only) connects to the Fall Savers Wireless Bed and Chair Sensor Transmitter (NCL-51170). The connection between the pad and the transmitter uses a pigtail or compatible connector format - confirm the specific connection type for this pad model with the supplier to ensure the correct transmitter is selected. The transmitter then wirelessly alerts the paired Fall Savers receiver or monitor when the pad detects a bed exit event. Confirm that the specific pad model is compatible with the transmitter models in use at the care home before purchasing, as transmitter generations may differ in pad connector compatibility.
How does this sensor-pad-only version differ from the Fall Savers Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor with Transmitter?
The Fall Savers Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor with Transmitter (NCL-51701) is a complete unit with the wireless transmitter integrated into the sensor pad - it connects directly to the Fall Savers receiver without any additional components. This sensor-pad-only version (NCL-51700) requires a separately purchased Fall Savers Wireless Bed and Chair Sensor Transmitter (NCL-51170) to transmit alerts. The sensor-pad-only version is appropriate for care homes that already have NCL-51170 transmitters and need replacement pads only. The complete transmitter-integrated version is appropriate when deploying a new monitoring location from scratch without existing transmitter hardware.
