Pneumatically actuated patient monitor having multiple pulse generators

A system for monitoring a patient located on an item of furniture such as a bed is disclosed. The system includes a pneumatically actuated switch for providing a signal circuit to notify of undesired movement of the patient beyond a predetermined range. The pneumatic switch is responsive to a pneumatic pulse which is released from an armable pneumatic pressure generator having a spring loaded plunger and piston combination. The piston is maintained in an extracted and armed position through a releasable clip positionable within a notch in the piston and attached to the patient by a length of cord.
