WORKS AUTOMATICALLY Detects the person wandering away and then sounds the alarm and calls for help! The wireless pendant is attached to the patient with a non-removable band and sends a continuous signal to the Wanderer Alert unit every 3 seconds. When the patient attempts to wander away, the Wanderer Alert unit detects the missing signals and sounds the horn/strobe alarm and/or dials the telephone, cell or pager numbers that you have installed and leaves your message in any language. A switch on unit allows you to select dial out. The Wanderer Alert is capable of monitoring both High risk and Low risk patients. The Wander Alert receiver-dialer is adjustable to set distances from the receiver that patient can roam before going into alarm. If patient wanders outside this protection area, the receiver-dialer goes into alarm. The receiver-dialer will then automatically sound the alarm strobe and/or dial emergency numbers and delivery the emergency message.
