Abstract: An absorbent article has one or more fluid filter layers to inhibit electrode traces from being exposed to low volumes of fluid to reduce the number of false positives that are indicated by an RFID tag of the incontinence detection pad. An antenna inlay has a sacrificial trace portion to permit testing for proper operation of an RFID chip electrically coupled to the antenna inlay, After testing, the sacrificial trace portion is severed. A fluid barrier layer blocks fluid from reaching portions of electrode traces that are located on a backsheet outside a periphery of an absorbent core of an incontinence detection pad. The power at which an antenna transmits to wirelessly energize a passive RFID tag of an incontinence detection pad is controlled to reduce the number of false positives indicated by the RFID tag.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing incontinence detection pads that have wireless communication capability includes readying an RFID tag applicator to place RFID tags on backsheet material fed between a pair of nip rollers. The backsheet material has a series of electrode traces thereon. The method also includes operating a nip roller motor to feed the backsheet material between the pair of nip rollers and toward the RFID tag applicator, operating the RFID tag applicator to place each RFID tag across regions of a respective electrode trace of the series of electrode traces, and operating RFID tag test equipment to energize each RFID tag a first time and a second time using wireless emissions and receiving return signals from each RFID tag in response to the wireless emissions.

Abstract: A patient helper apparatus for use with a patient support is disclosed. The patient helper apparatus includes a first L-shaped support tube coupled to the patient support, a shaft coupled to the first L-shaped support tube and extending over the patient support, and an egress handle coupled to the first L-shaped support tube. The egress handle moves between a stowed position and an assist position. In the stowed position, the egress handle is situated inside a footprint of the patient support. In the assist position, the egress handle extends outside the footprint of the patient support.
