Fall Savers Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor with Transmitter - Rapid Patient Exit Alert
- Foldable wireless bed sensor mat with integrated wireless transmitter, providing bed exit detection and immediate wireless alert transmission to a compatible Fall Savers receiver or monitor - supplied as a complete sensor and transmitter unit without the need for a separate transmitter component, simplifying deployment and reducing the number of separate items required at the patient monitoring location.
- Foldable mat design allows compact storage when not in use, supporting the practical requirements of care home and hospital environments where equipment must be repositioned, stored or transported between rooms and patients - the fold reduces the storage footprint compared with a rigid mat of equivalent sensor area.
- Integrated wireless transmitter removes the cable between sensor and transmitter that separate transmitter configurations require, creating a self-contained unit that can be placed on the mattress and connected to the wireless monitoring system without cable management at the sensor location - reducing trip hazards at the bedside during patient care and overnight monitoring.
- Wipe-clean surface supports infection control between patient uses, with the combined sensor and transmitter unit maintained as a single cleanable component rather than requiring separate decontamination of a sensor pad and an externally attached transmitter - important in care environments with high patient turnover or where cross-infection prevention is a documented priority.
Fall Savers Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor with Transmitter: Integrated Wireless Bed Exit Sensor
The Fall Savers Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor with Transmitter is a foldable bed sensor mat with an integrated wireless transmitter, providing bed exit detection and immediate wireless alert transmission to a compatible Fall Savers receiver or monitor as a single self-contained unit. The integrated transmitter eliminates the separate transmitter component required by sensor pads with external pigtail connections, and the foldable mat design allows compact storage when not in use. Wipe-clean surface supports infection control between patient uses. A compatible Fall Savers wireless monitor or receiver is required separately to receive the transmitted alerts.

Clinical and Regulatory Compliance
NICE Guideline NG147 (Falls in Older People) recommends sensor-based bed exit monitoring as a component of fall prevention for high-risk patients: the integrated sensor and transmitter unit provides the detection and transmission functionality required to implement this recommendation without additional component sourcing. CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) requires that monitoring equipment is maintained in operational order: the integrated transmitter means there is one unit to maintain rather than two, and the wipe-clean surface allows the entire monitoring unit to be decontaminated between patients as a single item. CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) is supported by the simplified equipment inventory: one product code covers the sensor and transmitter function, simplifying the monitoring equipment documentation in the patient's falls management plan. The foldable design supports the practical logistics of equipment redeployment between patients and rooms that CQC Regulation 17 equipment management governance requires to be documented.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Fall Savers Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor with Transmitter and the Fall Savers Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor with Pigtail?
The Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor with Transmitter (NCL-51701) has the wireless transmitter built into the sensor unit - it transmits wirelessly to the Fall Savers receiver without any additional components. The Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor with Pigtail (NCL-51711) has a pigtail connector rather than an integrated transmitter - the pigtail connects to a separately purchased Fall Savers wireless transmitter, which then transmits to the receiver. The transmitter-integrated version is simpler to deploy with fewer components. The pigtail version is appropriate when a care home already has Fall Savers transmitters in use and needs replacement sensor pads only, or when the transmitter needs to be positioned separately from the sensor pad for signal coverage reasons.
Which Fall Savers monitors and receivers is this sensor compatible with?
The Fall Savers Wireless Foldable Bed Sensor with Transmitter is designed for use within the Fall Savers wireless product ecosystem and is compatible with Fall Savers wireless monitors and receivers that accept Fall Savers wireless sensor signals. Compatibility should be confirmed with the supplier for the specific receiver or monitor model in use, as receiver compatibility may vary between Fall Savers system generations. This sensor is not compatible with Alerta wireless receivers, which use a different proprietary pairing protocol. Confirm compatibility before purchase if integrating this sensor with an existing Fall Savers monitoring infrastructure rather than deploying it as part of a new complete Fall Savers system.
