Medical tube safety device

A method of detecting a tube dislodging from a patient, the method including the steps of:

• attaching a wound dressing to the patient, the wound dressing including at least one actuator;
• attaching a sensor holder to the tube, the sensor holder including at least one sensor wherein when the at least one actuator is configured to actuate the at least one sensor when the at least one sensor moves from a first position to a second position, the second position being further from the at least one actuator than the first position;
• transmitting a signal from the at least one sensor to an alarm circuitry when the at least one actuator actuates the at least one sensor;
• and
• producing an alert via the alarm circuitry when the alarm circuitry receives the signal.

A kit comprising:

• a tube defining a main body, the tube being capable of extending into a patient;
• alarm circuitry;
• a wound dressing configured to releasably attach to the patient, wherein the wound dressing includes at least one actuator;
• and
• a sensor holder configured to be releasably coupled to the tube, the sensor holder including at least one sensor, wherein when the at least one actuator is configured to actuate the at least one sensor when the at least one sensor moves from a first position to a second position, the second position being further from the at least one actuator than the first position,
• wherein the at least one sensor is configured to transmit a signal to the alarm circuitry when the at least one actuator actuates the at least one sensor, and the alarm circuitry is configured to produce an alert in response to receiving the signal.
