Description

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

The Stand Up Floor Alarm is a patient monitoring alarm used to help carers know when someone has stood on the mat.

This alarm has a wipeable vinyl material cover. The mat length is 136cm / 53.5″, and it is designed to fit between most bed legs so that it does not create a tripping hazard. Part of the mat sits under the bed so that when the person steps out of bed, their feet land near the centre of the mat.

Floor Alarms are among the most recommended products in our alarm range for people getting out of bed. This is because they generally provide the earliest warning that someone is leaving the bed. When a person begins to stand, their feet will trigger the alarm before they fully lift their body off the bed. In contrast, a Bed Alarm, which sits on top of the mattress, will only trigger after the person has already exited the bed. Floor alarms can therefore provide valuable extra time for intervention.

There are two options for alerting carers:

Alarm Box – produces an audible alert
Nurse Call Plug – connects to the Nurse Call Paging System and alerts carers via pagers

The Alarm Box has adjustable volume. The Nurse Call version connects directly into the Nurse Call Paging System and includes a double adaptor, allowing a standard nurse call button to be used alongside the alarm. Both options include a 16′ cable. A 32′ Extension Cord is also available. Extension cords can be connected together so the alarm box can be positioned virtually anywhere. Most facilities place the alarm box in the corridor, although some route it through ceilings or adjacent rooms to the nurses’ station.

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

The Stand Up Floor Alarm is suitable for people under care where carers or nurses need to know when they have left the bed.

Inside the mat are contact sheets, which are the components that trigger the alarm. Over time, these contact sheets can wear and may need replacement. We supply spare internal contact sheets so the entire product does not need to be replaced. We recommend purchasing spare contact sheets with your order.

WARNING

Patient Stand Up Alarms can be a very helpful way of monitoring a patient without physical or chemical restraint. They are normally used for people who stand from a chair or get out of bed and may be at risk of falling. Some patients may be able to walk, but due to dementia or mobility issues, they may place themselves or others at risk.

Important

Warranty: 12 months. All Contact Sheets can be easily replaced if necessary.

Warning: When using a double adaptor, if the patient’s Nurse Call button is removed from the adaptor, then the automatic Nurse Call system may not alert staff. There may be occasions when the facility does not want the patient to have a Nurse Call button as they may have dementia and be pushing the button for no reason. We understand that the patients should always have access to a Nurse Call button, so if this is removed, we recommend documenting this in their care plan. If the patient’s Nurse Call button is removed then the Pelican Stand Up Alarm can be plugged directly into the wall socket without using the double adaptor.

Warning: Choking Hazard. The Alarm Box and Nurse Call plug includes a small component as part of the design. This product may not be suitable for an individual who has a tendency to place inedible objects in their mouth.
