Best Operating Room Consumables
Floor mat sends a wireless to the alarm monitor which can be up to 150’ – 300’ feet away. But to reduce the amount of batteries you will use for your alarm, you might wish to purchase an AC adapter for this alarm unit.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I love that it's wireless so I can actually have the alarm monitor in any room of the house and if my dad tries to get out of bed, the alarm will go off. As stated in other reviews, there is a 5 second delay from the time feet hit the mat till the time the alarm actually goes off. Fortunately for me, I haven't actually had any incidents regarding my dad yet. You know, even with the delay, I will take this mat any day over having nothing!"
"I love this product."
"The alarm goes off on a transceiver with a caregiver, so it does not startle the person who stepped on the mat."
"Second, there is no easy way to replace the battery."
"Works really well alerting me when my mom (who has dementia) gets up at night."
"This has saved my mom from falling many times because I can get to her quickly when she gets up in the middle of the night!"
"Suggested purchasing the AC Adapter so you don't have to worry about the batteries running out at night."
"As soon as her feet hit the floor, it sets off an alarm in the caregiver's room instead of in her room."
