Posey HeadStart Sensors

Posey® HeadStart® Notification Sensors utilize a unique dual-release design that activates as the first yellow strap on the sensor is unfastened. A secondary release helps provide additional time before the patient exits the chair or bed.

  • Device serves as a gentle reminder to the patient to ask for assistance when ambulating
  • Designed with patient comfort in mind; allows the patient to move within the bed or chair while using the sensor
  • Patient can self-release from the sensor (functions as a restraint-alternative device)*
  • Compatible with all Posey Alarms
  • Single-patient use
 

HeadStart Sensors provide notification prior to the patient exiting the bed or chair, affording caregivers more time to get to the patient.

*CMS Guidelines Regarding Restraints: "Generally, if a patient can easily remove a device, the device would not be considered a restraint. In this context, 'easily remove' means that the manual method, device, material, or equipment can be removed intentionally by the patient in the same manner as it was applied by the staff, considering the patient's physical condition and ability to accomplish the objective.
