Plug and Play

A variety of plug types can be combined with this mat to make it compatible with most nurse call systems. You can purchase a mat and lead together as the Full Alertamat Floor+ Pressure Alarm Mat and Nurse Call Lead System.
Where Should It Be Placed?
The Alertamat Pressure Alarm Mat is most effective when placed directly at the bedside or in the doorway, so that any fall out of bed or attempt to wander is immediately indicated to the nursing or care staff. The moment the patient stands or falls onto the Alertamat, it will instantly activate the nurse call system, allowing the caregiver to quickly check the patient's safety in a prompt fashion.
Who is the Alertamat For?
The Alertamat is ideal for any environment where a carer may be worried about a patient's safety due to falls and wandering. It is perfect for use in home care settings, as well as hospitals and care homes that may be caring for patients with dementia or memory issues.
Full Coverage
One of the unique features of the Alertamat compared to other pressure alarm mats is its unique additional 6" lead, which allows multiple Alertamats to be connected together for greater coverage of the surrounded space. This ability provides caregivers with more flexibility and options when forming a specific "fall prevention programme" for their patient.
This lead can also be connected to an Alerta Nurse Call Button, which can provide the patient with reassurance that their care needs will be tended to. These features, along with the Alertamat's large size which prevents overstepping by the patient, make Alertamat the ultimate solution for the prevention of patient falls and wandering.
