Short Description
An alarm system which alerts a caregiver of a person`s attempt to leave their bed or chair via use of a pressure sensitive pad. There are five distinct alarm tones which allow a specific tone to be assigned to a specific user and to ensure the tone is different to other alarms in the nearby area. It also includes an Auto Pause which delays activation of the unit until it is fully set up and the user positioned correctly and Auto Reset which shuts the alarm off when the user sits or lies back down. This system is battery powered with an audible low battery warning.
