What are medical alarms? Medical Alarms are devices that work with your telephone. They work as a two way radio to a medical monitoring call center. They come with a wireless transmitter, referred to as a button, which is waterproof and worn as a bracelet, or necklace. When the medical alert button is pressed, a professional at the call center will immediately respond over the speaker. If no one answers, help will always be immediately dispatched. Depending on the person's condition, the medical alarm response team will alert the ems, police, firemen, or preselected friends, relatives and neighbors.

Why own a medical alarm? Because getting help quickly reduces the need for hospitalization. Having a medical alarm can be the difference between life and death because you can't predict when an emergency will occur, and hope that you'll always be within reach of a phone. Even when you're in reach of a phone, having such an emergency like a heart attack, stroke, or diabetic shock, you won't be able to dial for help. When there is an emergency, you may not be able to alert loved ones or family members. Most of all, because you and your family deserve the peace of mind that you are safe and in reach of help 24 hours a day.

Who needs a medical alarm? Pregnant women, seniors, disabled persons, stroke and heart attack sufferers, anyone! There are many things to consider when choosing your medical alarm company:

• How fast will your medical alarm company respond? **Make sure your alarm company will respond as soon as the button is pressed. Every second counts!
• What happens when there is a power outage? **Make sure your alarm company has a back up battery, and alerts you when your battery is low.
• What if your phone is busy when an emergency happens? Make sure your alarm is set to have precedence over your phone calls.
• Do you need a separate phone line? Most medical alarms should work just fine with your current phone line.
• What is the medical alarm transmitter range? **Make sure you find a range that suits your needs. 400-1000 available.
• What is the equipment/monthly cost? Most medical alarm companies offer service subscriptions at affordable monthly or annual rates.
• How reliable is the response team?

Do your research...your life is important and you should only have the best!
