Bed
Seizure Alarm MP5
Alert to Seizures Through the Night
Price: £160.00
(Ref: MP5)
The Medpage MP5 is a simple to use alarm that detects movements resulting from an epileptic seizure on a bed.
During the seizure the movements are detected by a sensor that is positioned underneath the bed mattress. As the
movements continue the control console, after an adjustable period of delay, transmits a radio signal to the
receiver to draw attention to the seizure. This allows for normal movements during sleep and minimizes false
alarms. The MEDPAGE range of epileptic bed seizure alarms will only detect seizures when there is limb movement
during a seizure.
The MP5 is primarily for use in the home but can be used in care homes and hospitals if only one patient is to be
monitored. The MP5 console is powered via a mains AC/DC power adapter with battery backup. Two sensors are
provided, a bed sensor that detects movements resulting from a tonic/clonic seizure and a microphone to monitor
aural sounds. Each sensor has a level control to enable the sensitivity to be accurately set. A delay timer control
can be adjusted so that normal movements during sleep are ignored. If movements are only slight or if the person
weighs less than 20Kg a second bed sensor can be fitted instead of the internal sound monitor
microphone.
