RECOMMENDED USE:Residents with cognitive impairments, such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, who are at risk of wandering, confusion, or elopement—the act of leaving a safe area or facility unsupervised due to disorientation or impaired judgment, often putting the individual at risk of harm. Description The new and improved NYOrtho Door Guard Alarm system is a valuable tool designed to help prevent wandering and enhance safety for patients or residents in healthcare settings, as well as at home. Features Purpose: It alerts caregivers when a patient, resident, or even a child attempts to exit or enter a door monitored by the system, making it useful for fall management and wander prevention. Simplified Setup: The updated design includes a metal trip plate on the alarm and a magnet sewn directly into the banner. To set up, simply attach the magnet to the plate, and the system is ready to function—no complicated steps required. Easy Installation: Banner and alarm attach securely with adhesive hook and loop strips, and can be easily removed in an emergency. Reliable Alarm Activation: The alarm sounds instantly when the banner is detached, with options to select between a music or alarm sound, and a high/low volume setting. Visual Deterrent: The Door Guard continues to offer a clear visual reminder (red stop sign) to residents or children, discouraging them from passing through the guarded doorway. Compatible with NYOrtho Door Guard Stop Sign Banner (9797). Battery Operated: The system runs on a 9-Volt battery (included) and features a low battery indicator to ensure continuous operation. Actual size is 4 inches longer: The extra 4 inches—2 on each side—allows the Velcro panels to attach securely to the door frame or adjacent wall, ensuring the banner stays firmly in place across the doorway.
