For when you want peace of mind
As anyone with, or a carer to someone with, epilepsy may know, one of the first warning signs of a seizure can be heart rate change. The Pulse Companion is a discreet, comfortable, heart variant monitor which sounds an alarm on the linked pager when there is a heart rate change outside of your chosen parameters. This alarm gives the carer the much-needed warning that seizure activity could be present.
What an emotional moment that was for my wife and I to finally have a monitor that worked and detected our girl’s seizure.
Whether you’re sleeping in the room next door, or upstairs, whether it is in the middle of the day or in the dark of night, the wearer and the carer are confident.
Why? They have the round the clock safety and reassurance from the UK’s only medically certified device of this kind (ISO Accredited: ISO13485:2016).

The Sensor
The Bed Movement sensor is placed beneath the mattress and is used to analyse the extent and frequency of movement. An alarm is raised if the sensor detects a lack of normal movement associated with breathing, or an increase in the occupant’s motions indicating a possible seizure. A learning mode allows the unit to record the individual’s normal overnight activity to establish the safe criteria.
Sound is detected via an internal microphone that detects gasps, clicks or groans.
The presence of moisture in the bed is identified through a sensor-equipped comfortable cotton bed sheet or pillowcase. Unlike plastic, the material will not induce sweating and hence reduces sores and false alarms.
The Chair and Bed Vacation sensors take the form of slim pressure mats which fit beneath a cover sheet, or as a discreet PVC pressure ribbon. The Guardian can then be configured to raise an immediate alarm when the occupant leaves the bed, or a delayed alarm that will alert carers should the bed remain vacant for too long.
The Guardian is designed to support the following seizure types:
Simple Partial
Complex Partial
Generalised Tonic/Clonic
Tonic
Atonic
Myoclonic
