Frequently asked questions
Does this alarm work on different types of chairs?
Yes, it is designed for versatile compatibility. It secures easily to a wide range of seating, including wheelchairs, geri-chairs, and standard lounge chairs.
Is it difficult to install on a wheelchair?
Not at all. The system includes a hook-and-loop strap specifically designed for quick and secure attachment to the frame of your mobility aid.
How does the alarm trigger when someone moves?
It uses a multidirectional magnetic pull-switch. When the cord—which you clip to the user’s clothing—is pulled away from the unit, an audible alert is immediately triggered.
Is the cord adjustable for different users?
Yes, the system features an adjustable-length cord with a clothing clip, allowing you to customize the fit for the user’s comfort and effective monitoring.
How can I ensure the battery is working?
For safety, you should remove the magnet to test the battery before each use. If the alert sounds, the battery is functional. If not, simply replace it with a standard 9-volt battery.
Should I use this as my only fall-prevention tool?
We recommend using this system in conjunction with other fall-prevention protocols to ensure the highest level of safety for the patient.
Does the system come with a battery?
Yes, a 9-volt battery is included in the package, so the alarm is ready for use right out of the box.
Is this suitable for home healthcare use?
Absolutely. It is an ideal solution for fall prevention in home healthcare environments, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
Does this require any complex wiring?
No wiring is required. The unit is a compact, battery-operated device that is portable and designed for simple, stress-free maintenance.
Is the alarm unit large and distracting?
The unit is designed with a discreet and lightweight profile, intended to be mounted on the back of chairs where it is unobtrusive while remaining effective.
