Features of the KeepSafe Essential
(Continued)
• Five alarm tones. There are five different alarm tone options which can be used in different patient
rooms, or to discern between different caregivers or levels of fall risk for easy patient identification.
• Three alarm modes. Three alarm modes allow for facility or alarm choices regarding caregiver
notification in the event the alarm is triggered. The alarm modes are “Voice and Tone”, “Tone Only” and
“Voice Only”
• high and low volume settings. Two alarm volume settings allow for facility or alarm choices regarding
caregiver notification in the event the alarm is triggered. The volume options are low and high.
• SUSPEND Button. Allows you to remove a patient from a bed or chair without the need to turn off
the alarm (e.g., for therapy, toileting or socializing). Alarm will resume monitoring when you place the
magnet back on the face plate.
• Cord & Magnet monitoring. Alarm activates when magnet is removed. Magnet pull cord adjusts to
range of mobility and “safety zone” best suited for each patient.
• Battery operated. The alarm uses four (4) “AAA” alkaline batteries. There are no complicated cords or
risk of power shortages or shock.
• audible low battery warning. Alarm “chirps” about every 15 seconds when batteries need changing.
This sound is different than any of the alarm tones and easily alerts caregivers of the need to change
batteries.
• DC Jack. For optional AC power connection; adapter sold separately.
• Impact resistant cover. Helps minimize damage if dropped.
NOTE: Cat. 8373nP (no Power Model) does nOT have an On/OFF switch. This is to prevent patients or
caregivers from turning off the alarm. The only way to turn off this model is to remove the batteries.
