Abstract: A circuit and method for providing an improved bed pad, seatbelt or floor mat sensor monitoring system with the ability to detect a connection failure between the monitoring module and the target sensor by monitoring the connection for loss of data being transmitted or returned (looped back) by the sensor.
Abstract: A cordless pressure pad connected to a bed pad transmitter for centralized monitoring by a central bed monitor receiving and alarm unit. When a monitored person gets up from bed, the pad transmitter sends a coded RF signal matched to a particular bed monitor unit, and it then triggers an alarm; when the person sits or lays back down, the pad transmitter sends a signal to the monitor to reset. Multiple pads can be linked to a single bed monitor.

Abstract: A patient monitor pressure pad having a time sensor and alarm circuit that produces an audible or visible alarm output to alert facility care staff that the effective life of the pressure pad is nearing its end.
Abstract: Provided is a patient monitoring device having a magnetic disarming circuit which allows for disarming of the alarm system only by authorized staff having a suitable magnetic disarming key.
