Proactive Medical Protekt Fall Prevention Alarm Monitor

The Proactive Medical Protekt Fall Prevention Alarm series provides essential monitoring and early-warning safety support for individuals at high risk for falls or unassisted wandering in residential home care, assisted living, and clinical healthcare environments. Engineered to integrate seamlessly with sensor pads, wheelchair assemblies, or clothing clips, these devices immediately alert caregivers the moment a resident attempts an unassisted exit from a bed or chair.

📋 Comprehensive Model Descriptions

Basic Chair/Bed Alarm (SKU: 10210)

The foundational monitoring unit of the series, designed for straightforward, dependable performance. This safety monitor interfaces directly with standard pressure-sensitive chair or bed sensor pads. The moment a resident removes their body weight from the pad, the unit instantly triggers a high-decibel audible alert. It features a simple safety-lock design, low-battery indicator light, and an impact-resistant bumper sleeve, making it an excellent, cost-effective baseline option for routine monitoring.

Basic Pull-String Magnet Alarm (SKU: 10230)

Utilizing a physical break-away connection, this unit is ideal for chairs, wheelchairs, or beds where pressure pads are not preferred. It attaches directly to a fixture via a secure mounting bracket. A cord is clipped onto the resident's clothing on one end and attached via a magnetic disc to the monitor on the other. If the resident moves beyond a safe, preset distance, the magnet pulls free, immediately breaking the circuit and triggering the audible alarm.

Advanced Pull-String Magnet Alarm (SKU: 10240B)

An upgraded, heavy-duty version of the standard magnet monitor. The Advanced Magnet Alarm is engineered with reinforced structural components to withstand high-use institutional environments. It features a more robust, slip-resistant clothing clip and a specialized high-traction magnetic connection that resists accidental false alarms caused by minor shifting or routine repositioning.

Advanced Chair/Bed Alarm (SKU: 10250B)

A multi-functional, premium electronic monitoring hub that offers extensive control customizability. This advanced unit features adjustable volume settings (high, low, or silent), dual-tone sound options, and a built-in variable time-delay switch (0 to 2 seconds). The time-delay feature is critical for residents who shift or fidget frequently, preventing stressful false alarms while still ensuring a rapid alert if an actual egress attempt occurs.

Advanced Chair/Bed Alarm with Nurse Call (SKU: 10260B)

Specifically engineered for seamless facility integration, this model incorporates a standard 1/4" mono port interface. This hardware allows the monitor to be plugged directly into an existing facility nurse call station line. When a sensor pad is triggered, the alert sounds locally at the bedside while simultaneously lighting up the nurse call console at the central monitoring desk, giving staff immediate notification without waking an entire room or hallway.

Advanced Ultimate Voice-Recording Alarm (SKU: 10270B)

The top-tier, all-in-one safety monitor in the Protekt lineup. In addition to boasting full nurse call system integration and comprehensive tone controls, the Ultimate Alarm features a high-fidelity digital voice recorder. Caregivers or family members can record a personalized, comforting message (e.g., "Please stay seated, help is on the way"). The monitor plays this familiar voice message immediately upon a sensor trigger before shifting into its standard alarm tone, helping to de-escalate anxiety and encourage compliance during critical moments.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between a sensor pad alarm and a magnet alarm?

• Sensor Pad Alarms (10210, 10250B, 10260B, 10270B) plug into electronic pressure pads placed underneath a resident on a mattress or wheelchair cushion. They trigger when body weight is removed from the pad.

• Magnet Alarms (10230, 10240B) use a pull-string cord clipped directly to a resident's clothing. They trigger when the resident moves far enough away from their seat or bed to pull the magnet off the monitor housing.

Can these monitors be used without an external power cord?

Yes. Every unit in the Protekt series is designed to run on a standard 9-volt battery, ensuring total cordless portability for wheelchairs and easy transitions between rooms. For stationary beds, the advanced models (10250B and higher) also support an optional 9V DC plug-in power adapter to extend battery life.

How does the nurse call integration work?

Models 10260B and 10270B feature an integrated 1/4" mono output port. Using a standard interface cable, the monitor plugs directly into the wall jack of a facility's emergency call system. This routes the notification through the building's main alert grid, signaling care staff silently or at a centralized monitoring desk.

How do I prevent false alarms when a resident is just shifting positions?

The advanced electronic models (10250B, 10260B, and 10270B) feature a built-in variable time-delay toggle. Setting this to a 1 or 2-second delay allows the system to ignore momentary weight shifts or quick repositioning adjustments while still maintaining a rapid alarm if the resident completely leaves the surface.
