M310 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide

The preferred pad location is directly under the patient/resident’s 
buttocks three to five inches below the bend in the mattress when the 
head of the bed is elevated.
Effective operation of the Sensormat pad in the alternative location, 
behind the patient/resident’s back, is dependent upon their weight 
and the articulation angle of the bed.
Sensormats may not be effective with air type bed mattresses. Test 
before using. See “Testing the Sensormat Pad” on page 12.
The use of anti-skid strips to secure the Sensormat pad to the mattress 
is optional.

Place the Sensormat pad across the width of the chair or wheelchair 
seat. For best sensitivity, place the Sensormat pad above any other 
pads.
An incontinence pad may be placed above the Sensormat pad.
Adjust the position so that it fits directly under the patient/resident’s 
buttocks. The most favorable location is toward the rear of the seat, 
close to the chair back. 
Sensormats may not be effective with air type chair cushion pads. Test 
before using.  For more information, see “Testing the Sensormat Pad” 
on page 12.
The use of anti-skid strips to secure the Sensormat pad to the seat of 
the chair is optional.

Once the patient/resident sits on the pad, there is a 3 
second delay, before the monitor arms, allowing time 
for the patient/resident to shift around slightly until a 
comfortable position is achieved.

Test the Sensormat Pad before first use, each time the system is put 
into use, and daily thereafter, as follows:

Plug the pad into the monitor.

Gather the equipment together: monitor and Sensormat pad.

Activate the monitor.
