Because of its high sensitivity and reliability, the Epi-Care 3000 bed sensor is widely used both for children and adults
1: Place the sensor on the bed
When the sensor is secured, and the device is connected, the alarm is ready and does not need further installation.
2: The sensor recognises seizures
The sensor uses an algorithm to distinguish between tonic-clonic epileptic seizures and regular movements.
3: Alerts are forwarded to a caretaker
When Epi-Care 3000 registers a seizure, it will immediately send an alert to a pager. The alarm can also alert through text message or phone call.
A seizure alarm for children
Epi-Care 3000 is particularly suitable for young children due to its accurate sensor technique. It can even detect vague cramps during sleep, which makes Epi-Care 3000 a safe solution for children (6 months or older).
The level of sensitivity and the alarm timer can be set up easily and accurately in the menu on the device. The device automatically remembers the selected settings when it is turned on again. The incorporated journal with time and date of the alarms makes it easier to document the development of the number of seizures over a period.
A proven and reliable epilepsy alarm
The Epi-Care 3000 sensor needs to be secured to the mattress and connected via a cord to the Epi-Care base unit that is placed on a bedside table or near the bed.
Through an incorporated test, the device will detect possible errors connected to installation or technical errors that may occur and informs the caretaker. When turning on the device, the test is automatically conducted and will be run on a regular basis while the device remains on. The alarm has an built-in pause button that makes it easier to tuck in children without activating false alarms due to movements during sleep.
Epi-Care 3000 is the safe solution when the issue is seizures during sleep, and it has proven its value through many years of experience.
Forwarding emergency calls
Emergency calls can be sent from the user’s bedroom to parents or caretakers through a pager, a phone call or an already existing GSM-based communication system.
The pager has a reach of 50 metres (164 ft.) indoors depending on the building’s construction. It is suitable for private homes and smaller institutions. If greater flexibility is needed, Epi-Care 3000 can be delivered with a GSM-transmitter. This solution requires a SIM card, which will allow the Epi-Care 3000 GSM-transmitter to call a connected parent’s or caretaker’s phone if a seizure occurs.
