Advanced Systems 3

> Represent a combination of different features that are frequently
> customizable to each facility.

Audible Alarms 6

> Alarms that can present different sound tones with a variety of
> intensities if the resident leaves the monitored setting.

Lockout Systems 8

> These systems can be used to inactivate devices the resident may use
> to escape or wander.

Optically Activated Alarms 9

> These alarms use infrared light and other types of light beam to
> monitor patients. This light is sometimes invisible. When the resident
> crosses the light, the alarm will be activated.

Pressure Activated Alarms 10

> These alarms operate by monitoring change in pressure. They are
> positioned either under the mattress or in a chair under the patient.
> If the resident gets out of bed or chair, there is a pressure shift
> and the alarm is activated.

Pull Tab Alarms 13

> Pull tab alarms have a pin attached to a magnet which is connected to
> a monitoring device. The pin is attached to the resident's clothing
> via a cord. Whenever the cord is pulled the alarm is activated.

Visual Deterrents 15

> These are physical barriers placed in the resident's path to prevent
> them from going out of a door or into a restricted area. Some of them
> camouflage the door with a photograph, while others simply provide a
> physical barrier without camouflage.
