Will the alarm go off when my patient turns to her side?

It's been my experience with my mother that the alarm only goes off when she gets out of bed and all the weight comes off the pad.

No. They suggest you place the alarm in one of to places (1)right up under the shoulder blades if you want to know anytime the patient sits up or, under the his to alert you when the patient physically lifts out of the bed. I use the latter placement. She (my patient) turns from side to side all night. It doe not go off. She would have to be lifted off the pad for several seconds before it would go off.

if you touch the alarm when it's on it will go off and will scare the crap out of the theif before he can turn it off it is very loud. i have placed it to where it can't be seen so there is no chance of anyone turning it off with out alerting me.

On most of these alarms if there is a slider switch moving it to the middle will turn it off.

If (and that's a big IF) you can manage to get it turned on and close the door without setting it off, the only way to turn it off is to open the door and turn it off. The alarm WILL go off.

My aide is in an upstairs bedroom, and when I press the button downstairs, I can hear the alarm upstairs (provided the doors are open). I assume that would make it loud enough for the person near it.

if the person lifts up to turn, it will go off, but normally shuts right off. I have not experienced false alarms. This was very beneficial to us.

Our daughter's alarm went off once in her backpack...she was looking for something else when it happened. She has not had any other incidents when it went off unexpectedly.

Hi Dr. Richey, My particular unit is connected to my iPhone 6 and has an alarm on/off setting. But I have not turned it on during use yet.

If you turn the alarm off when the patient gets out of bed or out of the chair, then turn it back on immediately, it is reset. It alarms when the weight is removed from the pad & will continue to alarm until you either turn it off or the patient sits back down.

This alarm will NOT alert you that it has been set off... it's only $16... it's just an alarm. If you want something that will alert you in any way, it's going to cost quite a bit more money I'd imagine.

No. It has a pin that when pulled will trigger the alarm. Otherwise than that the alarm will not go off.

I do not think so. When it stops working I change the batteries. I never heard an alarm

Unfortunately no - the only suggestion I can make is: set the radio so that a loud static or hiss noise is produced and then hope you wake to that noise when the alarm goes off in the morning.

Yes, the alarm will go off when you pick baby up. This lets you know it's working. It will give a warning beep when you do so which allows you enough time to get back to the monitor to switch it off before the real alarm goes off, it's super easy to disarm though, one of the angel wings you slide up and down to turn on and off. Super easy: you get the hang of it in no time!

If the room is right next door, yes you could hear the alarm. Yes, the alarm goes off until you turn off the unit.

The goal of this unit IS to go off every time the sensor detects motion. So this unit is only operated by being on (detecting motion) or off. There are other forms of patient alarms, such as a magnetic clip, attached to patient clothing, that will set off an alarm when the magnets separate...with movement. An alarm like this might work better for you.

No alarm! You have to listen for the soft click of the power level snapping back into the off position.
