How Does the Emfit Seizure Mat Work?
Designed to detect and prevent seizures in a person whilst they are in bed, the Emfit Seizure Mat uses patented sensor technology to detect abnormal movements over a pre-set amount of time. The mat connects to the provided alarm which alerts caregivers or parents when an individual is having a seizure.
What Is the Range of the Monitor?
The Emfit Seizure Mat and Monitor are connected via the pictured cable, providing a safe, secure and stable connection between mat and monitor. This stable connection type is as secure as you can get, as the transmission isn't subject to outside interference or interruption.
Where Does the Emfit Mat Go?
The Emfit Seizure Detection Mat is designed to sit unobtrusively underneath your mattress. This prevents exposure damage and ensures the user isn't constantly in contact with it.
Care Home and Hospital Usage
Patients prone to seizures need a high level of around the clock care to ensure they are not left vulnerable when an episode is induced. The alarm system that connects to the sensor mat alerts the caregiver to the presence of any abnormal movements, meaning patients can be routinely checked on when these alerts sound.
Pre-Set Threshold Limits
The Emfit Seizure Prevention Mat comes equipped with the ability to register pre-set threshold limits that mean a certain level of prolonged movement must be met before the alarm alerts a caregiver. This means the individual can safely toss, turn and get up to use the toilet or move around without the sensor associating this with a seizure or episode.
The sensor is incredibly sensitive, meaning it can detect changes in breath and heartbeat. When a person has faster and longer continued movements than the pre-set thresholds, such as those caused by a seizure.
Sizing Information
The Emfit Seizure Mat has the following dimensions:
- Length x Width: 41cm x 50cm
- Blue "Wave" Width: 4cm
Does the Emfit Seizure Monitor and Alarm Require WiFi?
No, the Emfit Alarm System does not require a WiFi connection to work as intended. You can securely and correctly use the system without access to the internet.
What Style of Mattress Will the Emfit Seizure Mat Fit Under?
The Emfit Seizure Mat is designed to fit underneath most styles, thicknesses and shapes of mattress. It can be used with memory foam, pocket sprung, double thickness or ultra-thin style mattresses.
The only style of mattress it cannot be used atop is an air mattress for health and safety reasons.
Can the Pager and Alert Be Used In Together?
With an X2 socket to accommodate both components, it is possible to use two receivers together, so that the pager and alarm can be used together.
