FallSaver was created by the same talented physician who invented the life-saving CellSaver, the autologous blood centrifuge found in every operating room. He understood that to be effective in a clinical environment, an intervention device would have to perform reliably, be effective at reducing falls, and not waste staff time on false alarms.
FallSaver advantages to hospitals:
- FallSaver is the only device ever shown in a randomized, controlled clinical trial to be associated with a significant reduction in falls. It may even be more effective than a 24/7 sitter, and it does not sleep or take coffee breaks.
- FallSaver is a very effective means of assessing who is at risk for falls, as it will reliably alarm who is trying to get out of bed unassisted. For a short hospital stay, FallSaver can be a more reliable and cost-effective means of assessing who is at risk than devoting staff time and resources to a formal evaluation of fall risk.
- The FallPoint program materials (download below) explain the basics of fall risk management to patients, families and care providers.
