The WanderGuard™ FirstQ™ departure alert system provides easy-to-use and effective protection against elopement in a range of healthcare settings.

Here’s how it works. FirstQ™ bracelets are provided to persons at risk, and monitors are installed on exterior doors, in hallways or lift doors. When the person wearing a FirstQ bracelet passes through a monitored area, staff receive an alert.

The alert sounds until staff check on the person to make sure they are safe. Then staff reset the alert. Everyone else can pass through the monitored area – the FirstQ system is a “selective system” so the alert is given only for the person wearing the FirstQ bracelet.

Selective / Non-Selective Modes

The FirstQ system can be switched to a non-selective alert which sounds whenever the door is opened. This mode offers additional facility security during the night, alerting staff when anyone enters or exits the monitored area.
