The Stand Up Bed Alarm is placed on top of the mattress underneath the bottom bed sheets. It is triggered when the person gets out of bed. Normally you want to place it so the hips and shoulders are on the alarm pad. This is so there is enough weight going through the pad as someone turns and shifts weight between the hips and shoulders.
Key Features
- 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.
Additional Information
There is a built-in delay of about 1/2 second. This is so that if someone is just changing position there should not be any false alarms. Some people under 40kg / 90lbs may not be heavy enough for this product to work. Spare internal Contact Sheets are available.

Important
Warranty: 3 months. As the Bed Alarms may be under a lot of stress and have a lot of movement on them when people get in and out of bed, or when turning in bed, the working life of the internal Contact Sheets may rapidly decline. All Contact Sheets can be easily replaced if necessary.
Warning: When using a double adaptor, if the Patient's Nurse Call button is removed from the adaptor, then the automatic Nurse Call system may not alert staff. There may be occasions when the facility does not want the patient to have a Nurse Call button as they may have dementia and be pushing the button for no reason. We understand that the Patients should always have access to a Nurse Call button, so if this is removed, we recommend documenting this in their care plan. If the Patient's Nurse Call button is removed then the Pelican Stand Up Alarm can be plugged directly into the wall socket without using the double adaptor.
Warning: Choking Hazard. The Sounding Alarm Box and Nurse Call plug includes a small component as part of the design. This product may not be suitable for an individual who has a tendency to place inedible objects in their mouth.
