WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
The Stand Up Floor Alarm, is a patient monitoring alarm that is used to help carers know when someone has stood on the mat.
This alarm has a wipeable vinyl material cover. The length of the mat 53.5″ and is designed so that it will fit between most bed legs so that is it not a tripping hazard, because part of the mat goes under the bed so that when the person steps out of bed, they are putting their feet close to the middle of the mat.
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.
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.

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.

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.
