The EMFIT Epilepsy Seizure Alarm is designed to detect micro-movements associated with convulsive seizures in people diagnosed with epilepsy. The system comprises a thin sensor mat placed underneath the mattress, which senses abnormal movements over a pre-set delay period, and triggers an alarm.What are the benefits of this bed sensor?Using patented sensor technology, this alarm can differentiate between normal movements in bed and epileptic seizures. The unit also raises an audible alert if there is a carer nearby and can connect to a pager or careline alarm.What type of mattress can I use with this device?This alarm works with a wide range of mattresses including divan style beds, foam and memory foam, as well as sprung mattresses. It also includes a bracket to clip to the frame of the bed, if required.Can this bed sensor monitor nocturnal seizures?The EMFIT epilepsy bed alarm monitors nocturnal seizures in sleeping adults and children, who are at risk of a convulsive tonic-clonic seizure. It raises an alarm when a person has a seizure and if they leave the bed without returning within a preset time.Can this alarm help prevent sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP)?The Emfit epilepsy bed sensor alarm may be able to help prevent SUDEP by alerting a family member if a person with seizures sleeps over, so they can assist with emergency care.Several studies have shown that the Emfit alarm has a high detection sensitivity for detecting generalised seizures, with low false alarm rates. These are very important aspects of a bed monitoring device that can help to prevent sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Epilepsy Alarms
