Medpage MP5x Seizure Movement Alarm

1. What is the Medpage – MP5x?

The Medpage MP5x is a movement and sound monitor that can detect movements resulting from

an epileptic seizure in the bed where a person sleeps. The suitability of this product is determined by

the carer or end user. When used in accordance with this manual the monitor will detect a high

percentage of Tonic/Clonic epileptic seizures. The monitor is for the detection of Tonic/Clonic (Grand

Mal) or continuous seizure movements and will only detect these if there are muscular spasms

(convulsions) during the seizure. The monitor is equipped with sensitivity controls for the bed

sensor and the built in microphone. An adjustable delay control can be used to help minimise false

alarms resulting from normal movements during sleep.

The environment must be controlled to eliminate the immediate danger posed by hard surfaces and

sharp edges as a result of sudden movement during an epileptic seizure. Where there is an additional

risk of immediate danger as a result of apnoea then this monitor should be used in conjunction with an

apnoea monitor.

4. Using the Medpage-MP5x

CONNECTING THE SENSOR

Insert the connector of the supplied sensor into the sensor socket, the connector will click in.

The sensor connector does not require a strong force to be inserted

Do not attempt to fit a senor that isnot manufactured by M edpage

Ltd.

The sensor pad is placed underneath the mattress and then monitors the movements of a

person in the bed. The movements are analysed to determine when a duration of movement

has been detected . When an alarm condition is detected, a wireless alarm signal is sent to the

radio pagers.

MP5x User Instruction REV 01-12-17 Helpline 01536 264869 www.medpage-ltd.com

FOR YOUR ATTENTI ON

POSITIONING OF THE SENSOR

The first step is to place the Medpage-MP5x in a safe place next to the bed that it will be used

in. The sensor is then to be placed underneath the mattress of the bed to be monitored. The

sensor should be positioned so that the person laying on it has maximum coverage over the

sensor, around the waist/torso area underneath the mattress is the best position. As you

progress through this instruction manual you will gain a better understanding for the best

place for the sensor. The key point is that the sensor reliably detects the movements that

occur, this will be tested later.

CHECK POWER

Now that the sensor is positioned correctly, plug the Medpage-MP5x power adaptor into a

mains power socket and turn on the power socket. To turn the unit on, push in the On/Off

switch on the left hand side of the front panel. The POWER LED will indicate the status of

the mains power supply, a GREEN LED means that the monitor is connected to the mains

power supply, a RED LED indicates a power failure or that the monitor is unplugged. Please

ensure that the POWER LED is GREEN before continuing. Should there be a power failure

during operation, an internal backup battery will provide 12 hours of use. To turn the monitor

off, push the on/off button and wait until the POWER and MOVEMENT LEDs turn off.

If the POWER LED doesnot show GREEN when plugged into a

mainssocket that isswitched on, please do not use the monitor as

the backup battery will not charge.

PREPARING THE RADIO PAGERS FOR USE

NOTE: The pagersare supplied with the batteriesfitted. (The

following prodcedureisonly required for replacing batteriesin the

future)

A) Undo the screw on the belt clip. Install the two AA batteries observing the polarity markings.

Replace the cover (batteriesare usually factory installed). Do not touch the button

between the batteries. NOTE: Batteriesrequire replacement when the LED flashesred

repeatedly at a slow rate.

B) Slide the on/off switch on the side of the pager to on. The pager will vibrate and beep, (if beep

is selected by alarm option switch), and the LED will flash green occasionally to indicate

pager on. If the pager does not vibrate or beep when switched on do not use the system. Check

that the batteries are correctly inserted. If the pager fails to respond contact your distributor

for further advice.

C) Select your choice of alert using the selector switch on front of the pager.

Position: Vib only = vibration with no sound. Vib + vol = vibration with low volume beeper. Vib + Vol

= vibration with high volume beeper.

MP5x User Instruction REV 01-12-17 Helpline 01536 264869 www.medpage-ltd.com

D) To reset the pager slide the pager side switch to “off/reset”. If the Medpage monitor

alarm is active do not switch the pager(s) on until the monitor alarm has been reset.

SETUP MODE

IM PORTANT NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE I S ONLY NEEDED

FOR SETUP, NOT FOR NORM AL OPERATI ON

General Note: The alarm state isindicated when both the

POWER and M OVEMENT LEDsare displaying solid RED.

When the LEDsare no longer both RED, the alarm hasreset.

When the monitor isfirst powered up, it may not respond to

sound or movement asthe internal calibration period can

take 10 – 15 seconds. After thistime, the monitor will begin

detection.

The main monitor can be reset at any time during this setup and you can safely start again

should you not feel comfortable with anything. To turn the monitor off push the on/off button

and wait 5 – 10 seconds until the POWER and MOVEMENT LEDs turn off, the monitor is

now safely switched off.

In order to enter setup mode take the following steps, please read through all 7 steps before

beginning;

1. Turn the delay control to maximum

2. Make sure the monitor is turned off

3. Whilst performing this step, please watch the M OVEM ENT and POWER LEDs. Now

hold in the red setup button on the back of the monitor, and then turn the unit on whilst still

holding the setup button, keeping the setup button held in.

4. After a short period the LED’s on the front panel will begin to alternately flash

RED/ORANGE, you can now release the setup button

5. The monitor is now in setup mode, you can now adjust the settings to suit your

requirements.

6. The next stage is to decide how you would like the monitor to alarm. The MP5x can

monitor movements as well as sound to raise an alarm. In order to reduce false alarms a delay

can be set, this will prevent the alarm being raised too soon. Below is an example:

If a person rolls over during the night, this creates a lot of movement on the sensor. An

MP5x User Instruction REV 01-12-17 Helpline 01536 264869 www.medpage-ltd.com

average size person could possibly require a 15 second minimum delay. This means that there

will have to be at least 15 seconds of movement before the alarm will be raised. This gives

the person the ability to roll over in bed without the alarm going off straight away.

The same can be said for sound. If the person being monitored makes noise during their

seizure, the Medpage-MP5x can detect the amount of noise and also apply a delay to prevent

false alarms.

When testing the settings, the monitor will go into alarm mode, this will be indicated by the

Power LED and MOVEMENT LED going solid RED. The monitor will then automatically

reset, please allow 5 – 10 seconds for the monitor to reset. When the monitor is reset, the

Power LED and Movement LED will no longer both be solid RED.

Above is an example of a default setting which is a good starting point for usage of the

monitor. This is the setting that the monitor is tested with in our factory. As every user is

different it is best to start at these positions and then tweak the settings nightly until you get to

a point where there are no false triggers caused by general movements in the bed.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE BED SENSOR SENSITIVITY

When the Medpage-MP5x detects movement, the MOVEMENT LED will flash GREEN.

With the control pointers set as shown above, tap the middle of the bed with the palm of your

hand while observing the Movement LED. The M OVEMENT LED will light green to

indicate that a movement has been detected. Set the BED SENSOR control to the sensitivity

you require, this can be checked by tapping the bed with your hand to mimic the level of

movement you wish to have an alarm raised. If the movement LED does not light as you tap,

turn the pointer round to a 3 o’clock position and repeat the test. If the movement LED still

does not light turn the control more towards Max. Please note: There may be false positives

at this setting. If there is still no movement detection the monitor should not be used. Please

contact your distributor for further advice. At this stage the sensor position can be moved to

an area that will detect the highest level movement should you require.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE MICROPHONE SENSITIVITY

It is advisable only to use the built in microphone if you wish to detect sounds

proceeding or during movement detection, otherwise leave the MI C sensor control turned to

Min. Adjust the control (clockwise) so that each time you make a loud groan sound (like

clearing your throat) the detect LED will light RED. Do not have this control set too high

(towards Max) otherwise unwanted sounds may be detected resulting in false alarms.

MP5x User Instruction REV 01-12-17 Helpline 01536 264869 www.medpage-ltd.com

NOTE: If the movement LED lightsGREEN it means

movement wasdetected, if the movement LED lightsRED it

meanssound wasdetected. I f the LED isan orange colour it

meansmovement and sound are detected at the same time.

USING THE DELAY CONTROL

If movements are mild in terms of jerking movements, or detecting movements early on is

critical, minimum or no delay at all should be used. A restless sleeper however, may cause

the alarm to operate when little or no delay is used. To test the delay interval, start with no

delay (pointer set to Min) tap the bed until the Movement & Power LEDs turn solid red

indicating alarm active an alarm, after a few seconds the monitor will automatically reset to

allow further testing and adjustment. Increase the delay control slightly (towards Max)

Repeat this process until you are happy with the delay setting.

Once you are happy with the settings, hold in the setup button on the back on the monitor,

after a short period the LED’s will begin to flash RED/ORANGE together, the setup button

can now be released. The monitor can now be switched off. The monitor will save these

settings and will load them when it is switched on, during normal operation the dials on the

front will not change the settings that you have stored, therefore if they are accidently moved

or tampered with the device will still be set the way you require.

TESTI NG THE SETTI NGS HAVE STORED CORRECTLY

Make sure the monitor is switched off and all the LEDs are off, then turn it on. The monitor

will go into normal operation and will load the settings that were saved during setup. Turn the

alarm pager on.

NOTE: In normal operation, when an alarm condition is

detected, the monitor will stay in alarm mode and will not

reset until it isturned off. During thistime the alarm signal

will be periodically sent to the radio pager. When turning the

monitor off, switch it off using the on / off button and then

wait for the LED’sto turn off. The monitor can now be safely

turned on or left switched off.

MP5x User Instruction REV 01-12-17 Helpline 01536 264869 www.medpage-ltd.com

Now simulate the movements on the bed, ensuring that the detect LED is responding to your

movement simulation. The suggested method is to tap the bed with the palm of your hand to a

likeness of the movement you are trying to detect. Keep repeatedly tapping the bed until the

monitor goes into alarm, this is indicated by both the POWER and MOVEMENT LEDs

showing constant RED. The monitor is now in alarm mode, the alarm signal will be

periodically sent to the pager.

Should you not be happy with the settings, please repeat section 4 Setup Mode

If you are satisfied with the setup test procedures, the monitor can now be tested with alarm

pagers to ensure the signal is received by the pagers over the correct distance.

Please make sure the monitor is in alarm state, indicated by the POWER and MOVEMENT

LEDs showing constant red. Leave the monitor in alarm mode to test the pager range.

Test the pager range throughout the building to ensure alarm signal reception. Leave the

monitor in alarm mode for this test. Turn the pager off then walk to the furthest part of the

building where the alarm pager would be required to operate. Switch the pager back on. The

pager alarm should trigger, please allow 5 – 10 seconds for the pager to alarm. Switch the

pager off then repeat tests as required. When complete, switch off or reset the Medpage

Monitor to end alarms.

Now the monitor can be switched on and will load your saved settings every time it is

switched on, you will not need to enter setup mode unless you need to change the settings.

If you are not confident or would like to contact us for advice on setting up your monitor,

give our team a call on the number at the bottom of these instructions.

IM PORTANT: Test the monitor prior to every planned

period of use.

INTERFERENCE FROM OTHER DEVICES. Occasionally, other devices that use

radio signals to transmit alarm signals or broadcast audio can interfere with the MEDPAGE

transmitter signal. The main culprits are baby monitors that allow you to listen in on a baby or

person from another room. If you do experience such a problem, first, move the baby monitor

to the other side of the bed. Do not sit it next to your epilepsy alarm. Try switching off the

baby monitor, then retest the epilepsy alarm.
