Abstract
A fall monitor has a first wireless communications receiver and a second wireless communications receiver. The second receiver receives wireless communications according to a different communications protocol than the first receiver. A fall detection pad includes a wireless communications module having a first pad transmitter configured to communicate with the first receiver to transmit a pairing communication when the fall detection pad is placed in proximity to the first receiver and a second pad transmitter configured to communicate with the second receiver when the fall detection pad is paired with the fall monitor display unit to transmit the fall alarm communication when the fall detection pad determines that a patient has removed pressure from the fall detection pad. A clinician key may be provided that is configured to communicate with the first receiver to provide a hold status for the alarm signal of the display unit.
