in excess of one cup, reliability is maintained while false alarms are minimized or eliminated. No less important is that ordinary spilled water does not activate the circuit and cause a false alarm. Urine is necessary because it provides the electrolytes needed as charge carriers. In contrast, ...
to accommodate those situations where a patient is merely adjusting his or her location in the bed. This, of course, can reduce the incidence of false alarms substantially in a restless patient. This time period, called a “delay time” hereinafter, is usually set to near zero in the case...
at least one of the monitored bed statuses for the particular protocol is undesirable (i.e., violated), but the alert has been suspended as will be discussed in further detail below. If the alert has been suspended, any associated audible alarms may be turned off during the alarm suspension...
