Product
No. The control box and your mobile device do not have to be connected to the same WIFI network. Once the setup is done, you will receive notifications wherever you are, be it the garden or shopping. All you need is a working internet connection.
The alarm is triggered at about 10ml.
The control unit works on AA batteries. The battery life depends on how many alarms are sent per day and/or night, but averages at around 7 months.
Yes. The ThevoSmart ONE sensor mat was tested with professional cleaners. It is washable at 95° Celsius, machine dryable and can be ironed.
Yes. The ThevoSmart ONE sensor mat was developed for ideal skin friendliness. The surface is made of 100% cotton and the rear side consists of a cotton-polyester mix with a breathable membrane. The sensor thread is extremely thin and can not be felt through the fabric.
The ThevoSmart ONE sensor mat absorbs up to 700ml/m² of liquid.
Yes. The ThevoSmart ONE sensor mat can be used for children, if they weigh more than 30kg.

No. If you have already bought the ThevoSmart ONE set, you can purchase additional ThevoSmart ONE sensor mats through our online shop.
An alarm will be send after 10 seconds on average. The system checks for status changes every 4 seconds and sends an immediate alarm if a change is detected.
No. The control unit of ThevoSmart ONE is inactive most of the time and only activates WIFI to send out a signal when either the bed attendance or moisture level change.
This depends on your current habits. If you usually use bed paddings alone, you can continue to do so. However, ThevoSmart ONE is designed to replace those pads completely, as the alarm prevents the patient from laying on a wet surface for too long. Especially in the beginning, when incontinence is an irregular issue, ThevoSmart ONE can be used to keep up the independency of a patient for as long as possible.
The ThevoSmart ONE sensor mat does not react to regular sweating, as its fabric is breathable. The alarm is sent, when the ThevoSmart ONE sensor mat is wet and therefore unpleasant for the patient. ThevoSmart ONE differentiates between moist (yellow alarm) and wet (red alarm).
No, there are no restrictions for higher weight classes.
Yes, the ThevoSmart Sensor-Mat can be used to support the patient. This is also implemented in some nursing homes.
Yes, the ThevoSmart Sensor-Mat can also be placed under the sheet. However, the Sensor-Mat will probably react a little later in the humidity function than when the Sensor-Mat is placed directly on the sheet and under the person.

Unfortunately, as with other bed pads, slipping of the Sensor-Mat can hardly be avoided, so that the Sensor-Mat has to be straightened or smoothed out before returning to bed. It is not intended to use so-called wings to give the bed pad more support, as this causes a slightly harder comfort of lying and is not optimal for patients with skin problems. If necessary, place the bed pad under the bed sheet (see question How should the mat be placed in the bed?).
Yes, when the battery level is low, the red and orange LEDs on the control box will flash alternately.
In the ThevoSmart App you have the option of setting an alarm delay per patient. To do this, go to the menu point Settings and then select the corresponding patient. You can then select an alarm delay for the yellow and red traffic lights.
If you configure an alarm delay in the patient settings, please note that the set values of the yellow and red indicator lights are added together. For example, if you specify a delay of 10 minutes for yellow and 30 minutes for red, you will receive a push notification for a change of status yellow after 10 minutes and a push notification for a change of status red after 40 minutes.
In the app, the yellow indicator light would already be displayed after 3 minutes at the latest, even if the push notification will be sent with the desired delay.
The ThevoSmart Sensor-Mat signals the moisture when at least 10ml of liquid has been spilled on the bed pad. You cannot define any limit values yourself.
Yes, you will receive an indication in the ThevoSmart App as well as a push notification that you need to check the plug-in connection.
