Basic Pull String Alarm for Fall Prevention and Anti-Wandering by Smart Caregiver - BPS-01

Work well. No complaints.

Used this chair alarm for my grandma with dementia worked phenomenally super loud and it would startle her to sit back down

I had to change the cord just to short

If you have ever had someone fall, you will understand the heading. Knowing what was happening, so you could prevent another fall was helpful. Easy to use and a life saver. Thank you

The alarm came promptly and seemed to work, but not well. First off, there is a hi-lo volume switch in the battery compartment. The round thing on the front is not the volume, but rather the speaker. The first thing I noticed about the unit is that the alarm, when the magnet is pulled off, is not very loud. If you don't get too far away, it will work fine. I needed it to work about 50 feet away and it just wasn't audible. The second thing that was disappointing was the length of the string. Its only about a a foot long. That is hardly long enough for the patient to lean forward or change position in the chair. I think the same company offers a wireless version that might work better. If you need to be able to hear it from more than a few feet away, the wireless version might be better. Lastly, the alarm came with a wrist strap with a buckle on it. Except that the buckle doesn't buckle right. Considering the price, I have decided not to return this alarm, but instead try to re-engineer it and maybe put a bigger speaker and a longer string on it.

Could clearly tell the product had been used and returned. Product did not arrive in its box but wrapped in plastic.

The best thing we could’ve purchased to keep our dad safe. He was prone to falling and after we started using the pull string alarm we could sleep better at night, knowing if he tried to get up, we would hear the alarm and be able to help him before he fell out of bed.

I’ve put a battery in, the low battery will light up before it’s completely inserted, but once it is, there’s no sound. I’ve tried turning the volume up and down. But no sound comes when the magnetic connection to the front is broken.
