Description
The Stand Up Alarm is a nice homely looking alarm. Options for the plain mat or the wood grain look that helps it blend in so it does not look out of place.
It has been made as thin as possible to help prevent trips, with the material used 1.5mm / 0.06″ thick at the edge. On the top is an easy wipe lino material, and underneath is a miracle grip material to help the mat stay in position when someone is standing on it.
The alarm is placed on the floor next to the bed. Normally it is placed on the side closest to the door or toilet as most people get out of bed on this side during the night.
When placed correctly this item should not be a tripping hazard. This is because part of the mat goes under the bed. When the person steps out of bed, they are putting their feet close to the middle of the mat. The length of the mat (130cm / 51″) is designed so that it will fit between most bed legs.
The Sounding Alarm Box has variable volumes and comes with a 5m / 16" cable.
General Alarm Information:
Patient Stand Up alarms can be a very helpful way of monitoring a patient without physical or chemical restraining. They are normally used with people who stand up from a chair or get out of bed and could fall over. Sometimes the patient may be able to walk but due to dementia and mobility issues, they may put themselves or others in danger.
Floor Alarms are the most recommended products in our alarm range for people getting out of bed. This is because they generally give the earliest warning of when someone is getting out of bed. When someone goes to get out of bed, they can have the weight of their feet on the alarm, setting it off before they actually lift their bottom off the bed.
