Caring for a loved one who is prone to falls can be a stressful task. Thankfully there are various systems available to help you in this role and provide reassurance that should someone fall over, an alert can be raised and assistance can be provided quickly.
Whether this is via an alarm that detects when someone falls and raises the alarm automatically or a more conventional system that alerts you when someone has left their bed or chair and is therefore likely to fall, there is a solution available for you.
FALL SENSOR WATCH
|
The Fall Sensor Watch was developed in order to provide an alarm should a user experience a fall. The watch senses that a fall has occured and sends a signal to a carer or relative, alerting them to the fall. This makes it especially effective for users who fall heavily and are unable to raise the alarm themselves. The watch also features an alarm button so help can be raised manually, for instance if the fall was gentle but the user is unable to get to their feet without help. The Fall Sensor watch can send a signal to a dispersed alarm (such as our Careline range) which can telephone a carer or relative or go back to a call centre who can arrange assistance from the care team. In a nursing home environment, the alarm can be raised on the nurse call system so that staff are alerted around the building. |

Note: The Fall Sensor Watch can be used with a nurse call system when combined with the SA301 receiver. This interface ensures the transmission from the watch is relayed to the call system so that the call is raised.
FLOOR PRESSURE MAT
|
The SSD-PM2 pressure mat has been specifically designed to assist with fall prevention. Positioned alongside the bed or in a doorway, the unit will reliably alert staff when a resident is on the move without being intrusive. Manufactured from durable PVC, the water resistant properties of the SSD-PM2 pressure mat make it easy to wipe clean and prolong the life of the unit. The pressure mat has an antibacterial coating to assist with infection control and features a non slip backing allowing the unit to be used on all solid surfaces. The SSD-PM2 pressure mat simply plugs into your existing call point and activates a standard call when pressure is applied to the mat. Supplied with a 3.5mm (11.6 feet) lead terminated with a moulded plug and measuring 1200 x 600mm, the large surface area of the pressure mat ensures sensor activation and that the alarm will be raised. |

BED OR CHAIR EXIT ALARM
|
The Anti-Tamper Fall Prevention Alarm kit is designed to provide immediate alerts when a client leaves their bed or chair in order to alert carers to possible fall risks. The Fall Prevention Alarm can work as a stand alone system or is compatible with most nurse call systems with an optional connector lead. The sensor will raise an alarm as soon as the user leaves the mat. Optionally, a 2 second delay can be used to help reduce false alarms. In this mode, if the resident moves position on the chair or bed and temporarily removes themselves from the mat for under 2 seconds then no alarm will be raised. |
