Proven and reliable wander prevention technology

The RoamAlert® system provides the most effective protection against patient wandering and staff duress.

Here’s how it works. Every patient requiring wander protection wears a small RoamAlert tag on the wrist or ankle, and every exit point of the department is electronically monitored. When a patient wearing a tag approaches an open exit, a Wander Alarm is generated.

Beyond this essential functionality, you have a range of options depending on your needs.

Basic perimeter protection

• The system alarms with a patient wearing a tag approaches an open exit. Alarms are displayed in the software and can be sent to pagers with detailed information.
• Elevators are protected by special elevator controllers installed in the car. This simplifies multi-story installations, and prevents unwanted detection in elevator lobbies.
• Use the optional Securaband tag and strap for a tough physical barrier to unauthorized removal.

Real-time patient supervision

• Each patient tag emits a regular signal that is picked up by a network of receivers throughout the department. The system will alarm if the tag is not seen for a certain period.
• Locate a patient in real-time, down to the specific room if desired.

Staff protection

• With the same basic infrastructure above, and the addition of Pendant tags for staff, receive duress alarms in real-time, with location information accurate to the specific room if desired.
