Description

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

The Stand Up Floor Alarm – Lino is a patient monitoring alarm used to help carers know when someone has stood on the mat.

This alarm uses a wood-grain-look material to help it blend into the room.

It has been made as thin as possible to help reduce trip hazards, with the material measuring 0.06″ thick at the edge. The top surface is a wipeable lino material, and underneath is a Miracle Grip material to help keep the mat in position when someone steps on it.

Floor alarms are among the most recommended products in our alarm range for people getting out of bed. This is because they generally provide the earliest warning that someone is leaving the bed. When a person begins to stand, their feet can trigger the alarm before they fully lift their body from the bed. In contrast, a Bed Alarm, which is placed on top of the mattress, will only sound after the person has already exited the bed. Floor alarms can therefore provide valuable extra time for response.

Inside the mat are contact sheets, which are the components that trigger the alarm. Over time, these contact sheets can wear and will need replacement. We supply spare internal contact sheets so the entire product does not need to be replaced. We recommend purchasing spare contact sheets with your order.

There are two options for alerting carers:

  • Alarm Box – produces an audible sound
  • Nurse Call Plug – connects to the Nurse Call Paging System and triggers carers’ pagers

The Alarm Box has variable volume. The Nurse Call version plugs into the Nurse Call Paging System and includes a double adaptor, allowing a standard nurse call button to be used alongside the alarm. Both options include a 16′ cable. A 32′ Extension Cord is also available. Extension cords can be linked together so the alarm box can be placed virtually anywhere. Most facilities place the alarm box in corridors, although some route it through ceilings or adjacent rooms to the nurses’ station. Two Alarm Pads can be joined together using a Y-Connector so that they can plug into a single Alarm Box or Nurse Call Plug. More Alarm Pads can be connected as required by using multiple Y-Connectors plugged in to each other.

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

The Stand Up Floor Alarm – Lino is suitable for people under care where carers or nurses need to know when they have left the bed.

BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Place the mat on the floor between the bed legs so that when the person stands on it while getting out of bed, they are standing near the centre of the mat.
Spare internal contact sheet are available.

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?

Wipeable material, foam, various electrical components.

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.

Important

Warranty: 12 months. 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.

FAQ's

Choosing Between Wired and Wireless Alarms

HOW DOES THE ALARM WORK?

🔌 Wired: Each alarm pad plugs into an Alarm Box or Nurse Call System with a wired cable. The alarm noise can come directly from the Alarm Box, or alert through a facility’s Nurse Call System.

📶 Wireless: Each alarm pad plugs into a Transmitter. When the alarm is activated, the Transmitter sends a wireless signal to the Receiver which makes an alarm noise, or alerts a facility’s Nurse Call System.


IS INSTALLATION COMPLICATED?

🔌 Wired: Simple plug-and-play setup with no pairing required.

📶 Wireless: Requires initial pairing between the Transmitter and Receiver. Intricate set-ups involving multiple Transmitters or Receivers may seem complicated for some users.


WHAT SET-UP OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?

🔌 Wired: Each pad generally needs its own sounding Alarm Box or Nurse Call Plug attachment. However, if using two alarm pads in close proximity (eg. a Stand Up Floor Alarm on either side of a bed), a Y-Connector can be used to run two pads into a single Alarm Box or Nurse Call Plug. One pad cannot be plugged into multiple Alarm Boxes.

📶 Wireless: Multiple pairing options are available. For example, up to four alarm pads can be paired to one Receiver, or one alarm pad can sound through multiple Receivers.


WHICH TYPE HAS THE LONGEST RANGE?

🔌 Wired: Limited by the length of the cable, although 10m/33ft Stand Up Alarm Extension Cords are available to increase the distance between the pad and the Alarm Box.

📶 Wireless: Allows greater freedom of placement, with the Receiver able to be located elsewhere in the home or facility without needing to use cables. Maximum range is approx. 50 metres / 165 feet.


WHICH TYPE HAS FEWER TRIP HAZARDS?

🔌 Wired: Cables may create a trip hazard if not routed carefully. Alarms come with a sign to alert carers and staff that an alarm is in place.

📶 Wireless: No cable between the Transmitter and Receiver means tripping hazards are reduced.


WHICH TYPE IS MORE RELIABLE?

🔌 Wired: Direct wired connection with no wireless signal involved generally experiences fewer false alarms caused by signal interference.

📶 Wireless: Uses a wireless connection, allowing flexible placement. Walls, metal objects, and other environmental factors may weaken the strength of the wireless signal.


WHAT ARE THE BATTERY REQUIREMENTS?

🔌 Wired: Powered by a 9V battery in the alarm box. Nurse Call Plug versions do not require batteries and plug into wall power outlet.

📶 Wireless: Requires two alkaline batteries in both the Transmitter (AAA) and Receiver (AA). An optional power adaptor is available for the Receiver only.


WHICH TYPE REQUIRES LESS MAINTENANCE?

🔌 Wired: Fewer electronic components to monitor. The alarm should be tested regularly to ensure it is working properly.

📶 Wireless: Batteries should be checked and replaced periodically. The alarm should also be tested regularly to ensure it is working properly.


CAN THE INTERNAL CONTACT SHEETS BE REPLACED?

🔌 Wired: Replacement contact sheets are available if the original contact sheet becomes damaged or stops working. All alarm pads work with internal contact sheets that wear down with use.

📶 Wireless: Wireless alarm pads cannot be opened to replace contact sheets. If internal contact sheets break or the short cable that connects the pad to the Transmitter is damaged, a new pad will need to be purchased.


WHICH TYPE IS BETTER FOR SHARED ROOMS?

🔌 Wired: Alarm sounds directly at the bed or chair location, unless it is plugged into a Nurse Call System or a Stand Up Alarm Extension Cord is being used.

📶 Wireless: Receiver can be placed with a caregiver, at a nursing station, or in another room. The Receiver can also be plugged into a Nurse Call System.


WHO SHOULD CHOOSE A WIRED OR WIRELESS ALARM?

🔌 Wired: Ideal for users who want a simple solution and are comfortable with a cable connection.

📶 Wireless: Ideal for users who want greater flexibility, reduced cable clutter, or remote notification capability.
