ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The Stand Up Floor Alarm – Lino is a patient monitoring alarm used to help carers know when someone has stood on the mat.
This alarm uses a wood-grain-look material to help it blend into the room.
It has been made as thin as possible to help reduce trip hazards, with the material measuring 0.06″ thick at the edge. The top surface is a wipeable lino material, and underneath is a Miracle Grip material to help keep the mat in position when someone steps on it.
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 can trigger the alarm before they fully lift their body from the bed. In contrast, a Bed Alarm, which is placed on top of the mattress, will only sound after the person has already exited the bed. Floor alarms can therefore provide valuable extra time for response.
Inside the mat are contact sheets, which are the components that trigger the alarm. Over time, these contact sheets can wear and will 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.

There are two options for alerting carers:
- Alarm Box – produces an audible sound
- Nurse Call Plug – connects to the Nurse Call Paging System and triggers carers’ pagers
The Alarm Box has variable volume. The Nurse Call version plugs 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 linked together so the alarm box can be placed virtually anywhere. Most facilities place the alarm box in corridors, although some route it through ceilings or adjacent rooms to the nurses’ station.

WARNING
Patient Stand Up Alarms can be a very helpful way of monitoring a patient without physical or chemical restraining. They are normally used with people who stand up from a chair or get out of bed and could fall over. Sometimes, the patient may be able to walk, but due to dementia and mobility issues, they may put themselves or others in danger.
