    Importance of Testing Medical Alarm Systems

    No one wants to lose their independence. However, for the elderly or those living with a life threatening illness losing that independence is a potential reality of life. Not wanting to burden their families or move to a medical healthcare facility, many people rely upon medical alarm systems. A medical alarm system offers the independence everyone cherishes without forcing a person to rely upon their family or a specialty care facility. 



    Medical alarm systems are comprised of a small alert device carried by the subscriber, an in-home receiving station and a medical alert center that notifies the police or emergency medical personnel in the event of an emergency. The proper functioning of all three of these components is necessary for a medical alarm system to be effective.



    No one wants to find themselves in an emergency only to find their medical alarm doesn’t work. This is a worst case scenario and could result in serious bodily harm or death. Knowing a medical alarm will work when it needs to gives peace of mind and is one less thing to worry about. This is why all medical alarms require regular testing to ensure proper functioning. 



    How often do people move and unplug a lamp only to realize it’s unplugged when they go to turn it on? If it were the receiving station of a medical alarm instead of a lamp, the results could be disastrous. Medical alarms should be tested at least once a month. This will identify any dead batteries, unplugged cords or problems communicating with the medical alert center meaning one less thing to worry about; what to do in an emergency.
