Review of the facility call light system manufactures instruction contained an undated form letter that revealed a footprint test of the system was vitally important to be completed at least weekly. The instructions further revealed when using a pendent, send a test alarm from each of your test points and then validate that your call has registered on the Arial® computer and/or a pager carried by staff. Also, record your test results so that you will know if any system variances occur. Failure to perform these tests could result in inquiry to, or death of, someone in your care. Staff are to test your Arial® system regularly. Test all devices at least monthly as described in the product instructions/documentation for each installed device and be sure that alert and notification signals are received at all Arial PCs and at any other devices your facility uses to communicate alerts, such as pagers, signs, and smart-phones. Additionally, you should test your system after power outages, programming changes or upgrades, or after reconfiguring any system equipment. Failure to regularly test your Arial system could cause you to be unaware of a system failure. Do not ignore low battery alerts on your devices and replace batteries immediately. Failure to replace batteries could result in a call not reaching the Arial system. The Arial system should only be operated by properly trained personnel.
