Automatic fall detection will measure the pendant’s orientation and impact with a
surface. Generally, the device needs to drop at least 100cm to activate.
If the MediFone senses that the User may have fallen, it will beep and the screen will
say ‘Fall Detected’. Cancel by pressing and holding the SOS button. The screen will
show ‘Fall Alert Cancelled’.
DO NOT throw the device.
It is NOT recommended to test the fall alert function when the device is worn. If fall
detection is on and you want to hear what happens when a fall alert is triggered,
hold the device at CHEST HEIGHT over a soft surface (e.g. a carpeted area) and
drop it. The beeps will be heard after a brief delay .
The Fall Detection works best when the MediFone is worn on a lanyard. Most of
the time, when someone falls, they are not unconscious. While this may happen, it
is always best to press the SOS button in the event of a fall to be assured that the
emergency contacts are notified.
Fall detection is particularly useful for those prone to blackouts or epileptic seizures.
It’s easy to turn fall detection off or on. Call us and we’ll make the change for you.
Fall Detection
NOTE: Fall detection is NOT 100% accurate; false alarms may occur. It’s also
possible that a fall may not be detected.
