How Does the Emfit Seizure Monitor Work?
The Emfit Tonic Clonic Seizure Monitor detects tonic clonic seizures that occur during the night. The film-like sensor mat is placed under a mattress, and, once a seizure is detected, a notification is sent to the control unit, which in turn sends an alert to the pager (or other connected call system) to inform the caregiver.
Who Can Use the Emfit Seizure Monitor with Sensor Mat and Pager?
As there is no upper or lower weight limit for the Emfit Seizure Monitor, it can be used by both children and adults with epilepsy who are prone to tonic clonic seizures at night. It detects even the slightest movement, making it an ideal choice for use at home or in care residences where patient needs may vary.
Can Children Use the Emfit Seizure Monitor?
Yes, the bed sensor mat detects even slight movements, making it suitable for children. It's also suitable for elderly individuals and anybody with a low weight.
How Easy Is It to Set Up the Emfit Seizure Monitor?
The Emfit Seizure Monitor has been designed to be as easy to set-up and install as possible. No engineers or special training will be required to install your Emfit monitor. Please see the user instructions manual in the PDF at the bottom of this page for more information about setting up your Emfit Tonic Clonic Seizure Monitor.
How Far Can the Pager Transmit an Alert?
The Emfit Pager is able to transmit up to 100 metres in an open space. This range is reduced slightly depending on the thickness and number of walls in your home.
Do I Need Batteries for the Emfit Seizure Monitor?
The Emfit Seizure Monitor requires two AA batteries for operation, and these are provided with the Emfit monitor. If you would prefer to use a mains power supply to operate your Emfit Seizure Monitor, an Emfit power adapter can be purchased separately.
How Does the Bed-Exit Function Help with Anti-Wandering?
The Emfit Tonic Clonic Seizure Monitor includes an optional bed-exit function. If you choose to activate this feature, it sends an alert when the the user leaves the bed for a pre-set amount of time. This can help to improve care and peace of mind for carers and family members looking after a relative prone to wandering at night.
Can I Connect the Emfit Seizure Monitor to an Existing Nurse Call System?
The Emfit Tonic Clonic Seizure Monitor is compatible with most nurse call systems. This allows you to tailor the alert system to the most suitable form of seizure alert for you and your patient or loved one.
Can I Use the Emfit Seizure Mat with a Pressure Relief Air Mattress?
As the Emfit Seizure Mat with Bed Sensor is able to detect even slight movements, it is not advised for use with a pressure relief air mattress. If you are looking for a reliable seizure monitor for use with an air mattress, we recommend the MP5 Ultra Specialist Seizure Monitor.
Can I Use the Emfit Seizure Monitor with a Slatted Bed Frame?
If your mattress lies on top of a slatted bed frame, then there is a risk of the bed sensor sliding out between the slats. We would recommend that a board or similar solid surface is placed between the slats and the mattress to prevent the sensor mat from slipping between the slats.
How Do I Clean the Emfit Seizure Monitor with Sensor Mat?
You can wipe down the bed sensor and cables and control unit with a damp cloth, neutral cleaning product, or mild disinfectant. Care should always be taken when cleaning your Emfit Seizure Monitor.
