PREVENTING FALLS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
Your ED is a busy place, and busy EDs serve large numbers of vulnerable patients who are susceptible to falls. Curbell’s easy-to-use fall management products can assist in reducing falls and increasing response time in your busy ED. Using our system with vulnerable patients alerts your staff if a patient leaves the stretcher so that they can assist before a fall takes place

BC300 CORDED BED AND CHAIR MONITOR
The BC300 monitor facilitates timely mobility assistance to help keep your patients safe from falls by alerting staff that a patient has moved off of a sensor pad, which can indicate their intention to exit the stretcher.
SINGLE-USE SENSOR PADS
Our fall management bed and chair sensor pads are available in a single-use version that’s easy to wipe down during a patient’s stay, and then disposed of when they leave.
JUMPER CABLES
Connect the monitor to the nurse call system with a jumper cable and the alarm will sound at the nurse’s station
