Monitors
Motion Detector for Wandering Detection
A discreet detection unit with an infra red motion detector remote from the bed. The alarm is raised as soon as the user's foot descends to the floor. The same sensor can be positioned to detect them sitting up, leaving a room, or entering a dangerous area. It can also detect door usage, where a door may be left open. It replaces door and floor mats which can be a trip hazard.
The battery operated motion sensor has a perfect detection beam for sensing the legs of someone leaving their bed without triggering if they simply sit up in bed. By being positioned across the room there is no bedside mat to be avoided or tripped over and nothing to destroy. The alarm is also raised before any weight is placed on the feet. Positioned a bit higher it can detect someone sitting up in readiness to leave their bed.
Another popular use is mounted above a door way "looking" down. In this case the door can be left open and the alarm is raised if the occupant crosses the threshold.

Bed and Chair Occupancy Detection
A bed/chair occupancy mat that detects the weight of the person lying in bed or sitting in a chair and raises an alarm to the pager through a failsafe radio link, either immediately on vacation, or after a prolonged period. A unique feature is that if reset whilst the user is out of bed, or a chair it will stop detecting alarms until the user returns later.
The P163 Sense-iT monitor can detect bed or chair vacation by a number of sensors, Alert-iT can offer a number of sensors that have advantages in different situations as presented in our leaflet. The most popular one is the simple bed pressure mat which is easy to apply and sits over the mattress where is can readily sense the weight being removed from the bed. A smaller mat is available for use in chairs.
Our bed ribbon sits under the mattress, which gives greater comfort and protection. Some adjustment for different mattresses and beds may be needed. It is not suitable for profiling beds. A short ribbon is available for use in chairs.
The bed leg weight sensor is excellent on domestic and light duty beds and is totally discreet.
The P163 has a call button that can be used as a basic Nurse Call.

Floor Mats for Wandering Detection
Our floor mats are robust low-slip mats that do not need over mats for protection or safety. They can be connected directly to a Nurse Call system using one of our extension leads with the correct connector. We are also able to offer small interface units for connecting these mats to Nurse Call that requires normally closed connections (e.g. Static Systems).
Alternatively they are connected to our battery operated radio interface (P163) to make a wire free system that will pass the alarm to our P137 pager with complete reliability. The P163 also has a call button that the user can use as a basic Nurse Call system.

Bed Occupancy Detection by Bed Weight
The P144 Bed Leg Weight sensor can be connected directly to a Nurse Call system using one of our extension leads with the correct connector. It is compatible with normally open or closed contact systems.
Alternatively they are connected to our battery operated radio interface (P163) to make a wire free system that will pass the alarm to our P137 pager with complete reliability. Being hidden at the bed leg with nothing in the bed it is totally discreet and robust.

Suitability
Domestic carers
Domestic carers (and smaller care homes) usually require that the alarm is notified to our totally portable pager, which features failsafe technology and usually sufficient range to cover house and garden.
The domestic pager works with up to three different monitors and automatically prioritises the alarms according to severity. The 450m outdoor range is the longest available and coupled with the failsafe "Safelink" signals it will never leave the user unprotected. The pager is specially designed for care use and is simple and easy to use offering audible & silent operation (with vibrate).
Living alone
For those living alone we can offer a telephone dialler that can alert a local carer or more advanced diallers that can also access call-centres for support.
Our basic dialler is low cost and has no monthly charges. It simply dials a sequence of numbers until the call is acknowledged and passes an audible message to the recipient. In the meantime the user is given an assurance tune to confirm the dialling activity. The more advanced system uses a special control panel to dial both local carers and finally a call-centre. It features two-way speech for confirmation of assitance. The panel can also double as an intruder alarm system. We can similarly activate the call-centres associated with Telcare providers (such as local authorities, Tunstall or Tynetec).
Professionals and Care Homes
For the care professionals in residential homes, flat support, schools and colleges we can offer our pager with 32 client capacity and 450m range. Alternatively we can use long range licensed pagers or even send alerts through a DECT telephone system.
Our radio alarm network has the highest degree of reliability and integrity available. The failsafe "Safelink" protocol and long range (with repeaters if needed) ensures easy and secure installation without any expensive infrastructure or labour costs. To assist the professional we offer a risk assessment spreadsheet (with explanation and example sheets) to validate the acceptability of any installation and a client assessment form to help choose the correct monitor for their condition. We are also always on hand via our helpline.
Care Providers
The Guardian Monitor is chosen by many councils, educational establishments, independent living providers and respite facilities as the basic protection for all kinds of seizure presentation because of its diverse sensing capability and ease of programming. Our design team will be pleased to act as your consultant in defining the optimum assistive technology framework for your clients, into which our products can play a vital part.
iTs Designs was chosen in 2010 to provide a full Assistive Technology installation at three new builds in Leicester and one refurbishment in Nottingham. This included consultancy, provision, installation, training and support for not only the health monitoring but also Staff Attack, Telephone communications (speech and alarms) and Door Access control.
