ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The Stand Up Chair Alarm alerts carers when someone stands up from a wheelchair or chair. The alarm sound is located near the patient, which may help remind them not to stand, as the alarm will stop when they sit back down.
It comes with a soft velour cover on the top and a non-slip rubber material underneath. There is a slight delay built into the alarm so that if weight is briefly removed from the pad, the alarm will not activate. This allows users to adjust their seating position without triggering the alarm. The delay is approximately one second.
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 5m/16′ cable.
A 10m/32′ Extension Cord is also available. Extension cords can be linked together so the alarm box can be positioned virtually anywhere. Most facilities place the alarm box in corridors, although some route it through ceilings or adjacent rooms to the nurses’ station.
Inside the pad 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. Click here to view a video showing how to change the Stand Up Floor Alarm contact sheets.

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 and mobility issues, they may place themselves or others at risk.
