WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
The Stand Up Doorway Alarm , is a patient monitoring alarm that is used to help carers know when someone has stood on the mat. It can be placed in a doorway. It is triggered when someone stands on it. It may be used to monitor several people in a lounge room. If used in the bathroom, the person can freely walk around in the room, to their ensuite etc, but the alarm will only sound if they leave the room.
On the top is a wipeable lino material, and underneath is a miracle grip material to help the alarm stay in position when someone is standing on it.
The alarm mat is 30″ x 26″.
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.

There are two options with regard to the Alarm alerting Carers:
- Sounding Alarm Box – An Alarm Box which makes a sound
- Nurse Call Plug – This plugs into the nurse call system and sets off the Carers’ pagers
The Sounding Alarm Box has variable volumes. The Nurse Call version plugs into the nurse call system and comes with a double adapter. This allows for a normal nurse call button to still be used in conjunction with the alarm. Both options come 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.
WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?
The Stand Up Doorway Alarm is suitable for someone who is under care and carers or nurses need to know when they are moving out of a room.

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.
