When caring for elderly or infirm individuals, there is a very real danger of falls when they get up from a bed. Falls can cause serious injuries, so it's vital that you can do everything in your power to reduce the risk of falls occurring.
This full Wireless Alarm Kit with Bed Sensor Mat includes a bed sensor mat, transmitter and pager (receiver). It's a bed leaving alarm ideal for monitoring an elderly patient prone to, or at risk of leaving their bed unattended. This helps you ensure that the risk of falls is as minimal as possible.
The wireless alarm kit is easy to set up straight out of the box. Simply place the sensor mat on a bed you wish to monitor, plug the cable from the mat into the transmitter box and turn the transmitter and pager on. You instantly have a bed monitor sensor mat with a wireless pager to alert you if a person gets up out of their bed.
When the sensor mat is triggered, the transmitter sends a signal to the pager, which will instantly alert you. The pager can be set to utilise sound, light and vibration to ensure that you get the alert. This enables you to quickly rush to the aid of those who need it, reducing the risk of falls and helping you provide a more streamlined level of care.
The included bed sensor mat can be switched to alert when pressure is removed from the pad (when a person gets up out of their bed) or when pressure is applied to the pad (for instance if placed under a door mat, and this is walked on). This gives you an incredible level of versatility of use, helping you provide the best level of care possible. The bed sensor mat is suitable for most beds.
I thought the price was expensive for a small plastic Alert Mat.
The fact the item is not returnable is not good as the item must be tried on a bed to see if it works as all people are different weight and heights. It does not state on the web site that the Mat cannot be used with an electric blanket.
I bought the sensor pad after my husband had a couple of nasty falls at night when transferring from bed to commode and back. I cannot fault the product and therefore have awarded 5 stars. It works so well that I found myself lying awake waiting for the next alarm call.
Ordered online on a Sunday, and it arrived Tuesday morning. Spoke to Customer Service re VAT refund, and they immediately sent me a form by return. All very efficient. Only had the alarm mat for a week or so, but certainly seems to be doing its job, and hopefully it will stop my mother getting up during the night and falling over without us knowing.
Well designed and easy to use either as a bed leaving sensor or as a floor pressure mat. I am very pleased with it.
