WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
The Stand Up Bed Alarm is a patient monitoring alarm that is used to help carers know when someone has moved off the bed. There is a half second delay to help reduce false alarms as people shift their weight.
Inside the mat is the Contact Sheets, which is the part which triggers the alarm. Over time, the Contact Sheets can wear down and will need to be replaced. We supply spare internal Contact Sheets for if they wear out, which means you no not need to purchase an brand new product. We recommend buying spare Contact Sheets with your order.

The Sounding Alarm Box has variable volumes and comes with a 16′ cable. Also available is a 32′ Extension Cord. Extension cords can be linked together so that the alarm box can be placed virtually anywhere. Most facilities keep the alarm box in the corridor, but some have wired it through the ceiling, across other rooms to the nurses’ station.
The Nurse Call version plugs into the nurse call system and comes with a double adapter. This allows a normal nurse call button to still be used in conjunction with the alarm. Note: The Nurse Call version of this product comes with and Australian 240V plug.
WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?
The Stand Up Bed Alarm is suitable for someone who is under care and carers or nurses need to know when they are out of bed.

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.
Floor Alarms are the most recommended products in our alarm range for people getting out of bed. This is because they generally give the earliest warning of when someone is getting out of bed. When someone goes to get out of bed, they can have the weight of their feet on the alarm, setting it off before they actually lift their bottom off the bed. If they were using the Bed Alarm that is placed on top of the mattress, it will not sound until after the patient gets out of bed. Floor Alarms can give vital extra time when someone is starting to stand up.
