Featuring a choice of a variety of plugs to make it compatible with most nurse call system, the Alertamat will be up and running immediately, and operating with ease.
Will It Blend into My Room?
Wooden flooring is becoming more and more common in care home and residential bedrooms, meaning standard alarm mats will often look out of place. Manufactured in Scotland, the new Wood Alertamat is made with a stylish wooden finish, allowing it to blend in seamlessly with most wooden flooring to avoid overstepping without affecting the decor of the room.
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 connected nurse call system, allowing the caregiver to quickly check the patient's safety in a prompt fashion.
Additional Connection Lead
One of the unique features of the Alertamat compared to other pressure alarm mats is its unique additional 6" lead, which allows multiple Alertamats or Alerta accessories to be connected together for greater coverage of the surrounding 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.
