Question
Maxinum distance between bed monitor and nurse monitor.

Answer
If the facility is equipped with a nurse call system, the distance is variable.  The unit would need to be purchased with the nurse call cable, which is 4ft in length, it will connect from the unit directly to the nurse call system in the patient room, which will then emit the alarm at the nurse's station instead of in room.

A client of mine has this seat, and seh is frequently incontinent to urine and feces. It leaks out multiple times daily. We have been usign a washable chux pad on top of the seat cushion. Someone just indicated to me that the fabric would render the chairs gell seat non-beneficial. Is that true

A thin pad for incontinence should not render the cushion's gel non-beneficial.  The "barrier" may slightly reduce the effectiveness but should not deem it completely ineffective.
