Short Description
An alarm, which alerts a caregiver of a person's attempt to leave their bed or chair. A voice option allows caregivers to record a message in the person's own language reminding them to ask for help before getting up. This option can be used in place of, or in conjunction with, a tone alarm. A choice of five different alarm tones 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 has three adjustable alarm volume settings and indicator lights verify the alarm status. Can also interface with a nurse call system. An adjustable length cord with clip is attached to the user's clothing. Battery powered with a low battery warning light.
