8309EL - TIDI Posey® - Sensor, Chair, Single Patient Use, Extended Length Cable

Posey® - Sensor, Chair, Single Patient Use, Extended Length Cable

Please note: All prices are for individual units.

Posey® (TIDI Products) Chair Sensors (8309EL) are specialized fall prevention components designed for use with Posey® fall monitoring systems to alert caregivers when a patient attempts to rise from a chair. These pressure-sensitive pads are engineered for single-patient use, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and eliminating the need for complex cleaning protocols between patients. The extended-length cable provides additional flexibility in cable routing, allowing for cleaner placement and reduced cord strain in various clinical seating environments, from standard wheelchairs to specialized geriatric recliners.

The sensor pad features a thin, low-profile design that minimizes patient discomfort and maintains the pressure-redistributing properties of existing chair cushions. When a patient shifts their weight off the pad, the integrated sensor triggers the fall monitor to provide an immediate audible or visual alert. This specific model is intended for short-term or high-turnover clinical settings where a reliable, disposable sensing solution is required to enhance patient safety and support "No Fall" protocols.

Key Features

• Extended Length Cable: Features a 96" cord that allows for greater flexibility in monitor placement and reduces the risk of accidental disconnection or tripping hazards.

• Single-Patient Use Design: Specifically intended for use by one patient for the duration of their stay to prevent cross-infection and simplify infection control.

• Pressure-Sensitive Trigger: Highly responsive sensors detect a patient’s weight and provide rapid notification to caregivers the moment weight is removed.

• Compatibility: Designed to integrate seamlessly with Posey® KeepSafe®, KeepSafe® Deluxe, and Sitter Select® fall monitoring units.

• Non-Slip Backing: The underside of the pad is treated to remain securely positioned on various chair surfaces, preventing migration during patient movement.

Ideal Clinical Applications

• Acute Care Fall Prevention: Ideal for high-risk patients in med-surg or orthopedic units who require constant monitoring during chair seating.

• Emergency Department Monitoring: Provides a rapid, disposable safety solution for confused or restless patients awaiting transfer or treatment.

• Short-Term Rehabilitation: Supports fall management programs in facilities with high patient turnover where disposable sensors are more cost-effective.

Contraindications Do not use this sensor pad for patients who weigh less than the minimum weight threshold specified by the monitor. Do not use as a substitute for visual monitoring or required nursing rounds.

Warnings & Precautions CAUTION: This sensor is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, proper nursing care and supervision. Always test the sensor and monitor for proper function before each use and after every patient transfer. Ensure the cable is routed away from moving parts of the chair and is not in a position to be tripped over or pinched.

If the sensor pad is creased, folded, or submerged in liquid, it may fail to operate correctly or cause a false alarm. Replace the pad immediately if it is soiled, punctured, or if the "Replace By" date on the pad has passed. Single-patient use sensors are not designed for long-term use and must be disposed of after the patient is discharged.

Monitor patient skin integrity at the contact site. While the pad is thin, any interface between the patient and the seat should be checked regularly for signs of redness or pressure injury. Do not attempt to clean or reuse single-patient pads on a second patient.
