Post-Installation Test Procedure

Below you can find a post-installation test procedure to ensure the sensor's basic functionality is maintained. Here is an overview of the process.

Testing presence#

• Enter the room and stay there for a few minutes.
• Walk around slowly.
• Verify that the device detects presence within a reasonable time frame (typically under 5 minutes).

Testing falls#

• Perform test falls in every room with every device.
• Ensure only one person is in the room during the test to avoid cancellation of the fall detection.
• Follow the procedure:
  • From a standing position, lie flat on the ground.
• Stay on the ground for approximately 90 seconds:
  • Vayyar:
    • First 52 seconds: LED flashes (if enabled).
    • Next 40 seconds: LED flashes rapidly and the device emits a beeping sound (if enabled).
    • After 90 seconds: the device sends an calling event to the cloud which sends a notification (mail, SMS message, phone call, push notification).
  • NOVA-C:
    • After 60 seconds: the device sends an calling event to the cloud which sends a notification (mail, SMS message, phone call, push notification).
  • Ensure a clear line of sight to the device during the fall.

Vitaldata#

NOVA-C:

• If you want to collect vital signs, set up a monitored bed and enter the area to check if vital signs are being collected and displayed.

Out-of-bed / empty-bed#

• If you want to test the out-of-bed / empty-bed feature, make sure the person is in bed for at least 2 minutes. Then slowly leave the bed.

Troubleshooting#

If any issues arise during testing, do the following:

• Check power and Wi-Fi connectivity.
• Ensure the sensor is properly mounted and unobstructed.
• Check the room configuration and measurement.
• Vayyar: Follow the steps to troubleshoot inactive sensors and check the LED.

Pilot Testing#

During a pilot phase, conduct several test falls at different positions and times to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the sensor.

Vayyar: Use Test Mode to avoid false positives during testing.
