Noise and light monitor apparatus
First Claim
1. A patient-support apparatus comprisinga base,a patient-support surface carried above the base,an indicator,a unit comprising at least one of a noise sensor and a light sensor which generates a sensor data signal,a control system coupled to the indicator and the at least one sensor, the control system being configured to process the sensor data signal and activate the indicator only when the sensor data signal exceeds a preset threshold level, anda mechanism coupled to the control system to permit adjustment of the preset threshold level.

Abstract
A patient-support apparatus includes a base and a patient-support surface carried above the base. The patient-support apparatus further includes an indicator and a unit having at least one of a noise sensor and a light sensor which generates a sensor data signal. The patient-support apparatus further includes a control system coupled to the indicator and the at least one sensor. The control system is configured to process the sensor data signal and activate the indicator only when the sensor data signal exceeds a preset threshold level. The patient-support apparatus further includes a mechanism coupled to the control system to permit adjustment of the preset threshold level.

36. A patient-support apparatus comprising:
-
a base; a patient support surface coupled to the base; a tower extending upwardly adjacent the patient support surface, the tower being formed to include an accessory mounting portion; an indicator; a detector including at least one of a noise sensor and a light sensor, the detector being configured to generate an output signal, the detector being configured to be removably coupled to the mounting portion of the tower so that the detector is positionable in a first position coupled to the tower and a second position spaced apart from the tower; and a controller coupled to the indicator and the detector, the controller being configured to process the output signal and activate the indicator. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
