Different types of alarm notification
Portable Pager
Mobility for your staff
Not having to go check at an annunciator panel, means mobility for your caregivers. Wherever they are located when an alarm is activated, the staff gets the alarm information within seconds on their pagers.
All our transmitters can be programmed to display on the pagers the room or bed number, or room name, if from a common area such as a lounge, where an alarm was activated. The name of the resident can also be on the message when they activate their pendant.
Pagers can also be assigned to different wings or floors.
Desktop Pager at a nursing station
A desktop pager is also helpful at a nursing station or a doctor’s clinic reception area.
It works the same way as a pocket pager. It connects into power, however, during a power failure, it does operate on batteries. Its screen size is 4¾” x 1¾”.
It also offers a discreet audible alarm.
Display Panel (DDP)
Wireless Panel for a Nursing Station
This display panel is a wireless replacement for an annunciator panel. It measures 9 x 6 ½ inches. It connects to power and functions with the DN pendants, DB bracelets and DPC pull cords. It can display the status of up to 50 transmitters, either pendants or pull cords. If there is a need for more than 50 transmitters, then a second Display Panel can be used.
When a portable transmitter or a pull cord is activated, a button lights up blue on the panel, indicating which transmitter was activated. If someone does not respond to an alarm and reset it within a timeframe established by the customer, the blue light changes to red.
LED Wall Display Sign
As an alternative to caregivers carrying pocket pagers, alarms can also be transmitted to LED wall display signs. At a glance down the hall or near a nursing station, alarms can be viewed easily. The message on the display sign remains until the alarm is reset, then it simply disappears.
The most popular wall display sign measures 24 x 6 inches. It can display either information on one line or two lines. Messages can scroll, if required. A short audible alarm can also be enabled. Different display signs are available to integrate with all our types of transmitters.
Wireless Dome Light (VIDL)
Visual indications to identify source of alarms
This corridor dome light is designed to provide instant visual indications for improved response time and efficiency in senior facilities, hospitals, and medical facilities. It can light up with a steady light or in strobe mode and can also function simultaneously with pagers to alert the staff.
Some facilities use these to differentiate alarms from wireless bed stations and wireless bathroom pull cords by turning on a light of different color. Others, like a medical clinic, use them to identify public washrooms. The dome light simply plugs into a regular power outlet, and the reception desk receives a visual and audible alarm when someone in need of help activates a wireless pull cord, oftentimes eliminating the need for a pager. This dome light functions with the VIBS and VIPC call stations.
Other products available
Call Cord Pad
For people with limited dexterity
This device is a round, flattened call cord pad that works great for people who have limited hand dexterity. The pad is 3 inches in diameter, comes with a security clip and is waterproof. This call cord utilizes a mechanical switch in the pad that can be activated by slight pressure from the hand, arm, or body, or can even be positioned under the resident’s chin.
Some facilities use this waterproof call cord pad on the side of a tub or in a shower for easier access than a pull cord.
Wireless wall-mounted Call Buttons (VWCB)
This simple wireless transmitter comes with its own wall-mount bracket; it lights up when activated and will send a message to pagers, like all our other transmitters. To clear an alarm, you simply swipe a magnet on the front of the transmitter, or it can be programmed simply to call out, with no need to reset the alarm.
Some facilities use it for visitors to call for help when wanting to enter a specific wing in memory care, for example, ‘Wing 1’.
Certain medical clinics use this transmitter with two buttons: one button to call for help, the other to reset the alarm.
Wireless Door Alarm
Door monitoring – protection for wandering residents
A wireless universal transmitter is also available to interface as a door alarm on a resident door, an outside door, or stairwell. As soon as the door is opened, and a paired magnet separates from the transmitter, a message such as ‘Door alarm room 313’ is immediately sent to the pagers.
