Key Product Components and Descriptions
1. Cura1 Crash Mat
The Cura1 Crash Mat is the foundation of this safety kit, strategically designed for fall protection at the bedside. Its durable, padded surface provides cushioning to reduce the risk of injury should a resident or patient fall from the bed. The mat itself plugs directly into a call point, enabling instant alerts to caregivers the moment it detects weight, signalling that someone has rolled or fallen off the bed. For environments where bed rails are not an option, this crash mat provides a safe, versatile alternative.
Features and Specifications:
- Dimensions: With open dimensions of 1800 x 750 mm and folded dimensions of 900 x 750 mm, the mat offers ample space to cushion falls but can be conveniently folded for storage or repositioning.
- Compatibility: Equipped with a MONO 6.35 mm connection, this mat is compatible with most nurse call systems, though other connections are available as optional add-ons to accommodate different setups.
- Weight Range: Designed for a reliable operation with a recommended weight range from 30 kg to 200 kg, this mat is suitable for a wide variety of users.
- Longevity: Constructed with a life expectancy of approximately 1 year, ensuring consistent and dependable use.
Whether in residential care, aged care facilities, or a private home care environment, the crash mat is adaptable and simple to integrate into existing care settings. When used in a home care setup, the crash mat is easily connected to the included Cura1 monitor and USB-to-RJ10 cable to enable full functionality with alarms when a fall is detected.
2. Cura1 Crash Mat Monitor – In-Home Care (4017)
The Cura1 Crash Mat Monitor is a compact, easy-to-use alarm system that pairs seamlessly with the Cura1 Crash Mat. Its intuitive operation and clear visual and auditory indicators make it an excellent addition for monitoring fall risks in elderly care and other at-risk populations. The monitor is flexible and functional, designed to work across multiple sensor types, including bed and chair pads as well as floor mats.
Features and Specifications:
- Battery and Power Options: This monitor runs on 3 x AAA batteries (included) for easy placement around the bedside or room but can also be powered via a 6V plug pack for longer-term setups.
- Selectable Alarm Tones: Caregivers can choose between three distinct alarm tones, making it possible to identify different types of alerts based on tone alone.
- Volume Control and Adjustable Delay: The volume can be adjusted to suit different environments, while selectable delay options (0 sec, 1 sec, or 2 sec) allow caregivers to customize the alert time for optimal response.
- LED Indicators: A blue LED visual warning and an audible “Low Battery” alert ensure that the device is always functioning at its best. Additionally, a red LED visual alarm indicator provides a clear signal when a fall or rollover has occurred.
- Relay Contact Alarm Output: The monitor comes with a volt-free normally open relay contact alarm output, making it compatible with more advanced monitoring systems for facilities looking to integrate this technology into broader nurse call systems.
- Durable Construction: Built within a sturdy ABS plastic enclosure measuring 70 x 105 x 40 mm, the monitor is durable and designed to withstand frequent use.
The Cura1 monitor is user-friendly, with a front panel reset/self-test button that simplifies maintenance and operation. It comes complete with a mounting strap, making it easy to secure near the crash mat or wherever monitoring is necessary.
3. Cura1 USB Type A to RJ10 Plug 3M Cable (4151)
The USB Type A to RJ10 Plug Cable serves as the connection bridge between the crash mat and the monitor, allowing caregivers to receive alarms directly through the crash mat’s interface. With a length of 3 meters, this cable offers ample flexibility to position the monitor and mat according to the specific layout of the room or care environment, making it ideal for both home and facility settings.
