fall alarm buying guide: pull cord and combination alarms

by Rein Tideiksaar, PhD

Fall prevention is often possible with the use of fall alarms; and many types of fall alarms are available. The fall alarms on this page generally use a garment clip attached to the patient with a length of cord attached to the fall alarm. When the patient moves too far, the clip releases and the fall alarm sounds. 

This page is available as a printable PDF file.

 

Pull Cord and Combination Fall Alarms
Pull Cord Fall Alarm
Consists of an adjustable length cord and garment clip that is attached to the patient's/resident's clothing. The end of the cord is attached to the control unit via a small magnetic pin or metal pin. The alarm is activated when the patient/resident exits the bed, chair/wheelchair and the cord detaches from the control unit.
