Product Offering: Hardware
Confidential Information
Product Offering: Hardware
Enhanced accuracy and repeatability
The sensor pad error is +/- 10% of the full scale after calibration. •For example, a mattress sensor pad with a range of 5-100 mmHg has a maximum error of 10%, or 10 mmHg.
*To ensure optimal accuracy, we recommend that send us your sensor pad for recalibration once per year.
The sensor pad will always remain accurate for use with relative surface comparisons.*

Hysteresis Creep Repeatability
When previous sensor measurements affect current sensor measurements, causing them to be less accurate.
Sensor shape changes as weight and heat are applied. Sensors can become inaccurate if pressure is applied for a long time.
Desired sensor performance is where patient measurements remain consistent, even when measured at different times or under different conditions.
Need to Know Need To Know Need To Know
Low hysteresis: New materials and new algorithms in software that compensate for its effects.
Low creep: Construction methods reduce the effects of creep. Patients can sit on pads for extended periods of time without causing inaccuracy.
High repeatability: The LX100 is industry standard for repeatability, based on its superior technology, construction and supporting software.
