Are you
worried about falls? Take action before the fall happens. This
alarm instantly alerts the caregiver of any attempt to get up from
a chair or wheelchair.
This
high-quality fall prevention alarm is different from others
because, instead of relying on a pin being pulled out of its socket
to set off the alarm, it uses a magnetic contact. The cord is
adjustable for either wheelchair or bed mounting (18”-32”). The
custom stainless steel clip is designed to mount to chair frame,
chair back, bed rail or headboard.
Why is a
magnetic
Fall Prevention Alarm important? Because pin inserts must be pulled
in a single, specific direction (usually down) to set off the
alarm. A tug coming from the wrong way will just pull the alligator
clip (on the end of the string) off the patient's clothing, without
setting off the alarm. A magnetic contact will respond to a tug in
any
direction.
The
Magnetic Fall
Prevention Alarm also comes with a built-in clip, making
it easy to attach to a:
- bed head
board or safety rail
-
wheelchair
- chair arm or
seat back

What we like best about this
product:
Up until now,
most fall preventioin alarms have been activated by a pin that was
pulled out of a hole in the bae unit, much like the earphone
connection to your IPhone or pocket radio. This works when
the tug comes from only one direction and must be very
direct. This Fall Prevention alarm operates when a tug is
applied to a magnetic contact, allowing it to respond to a tug from
any
direction. That makes it much more responsive and much more
reliable.
