Call For Assistance With The Press Of A Button...

By simply pressing their personal alarm help button, you can rest assured your loved one will be immediately speaking with a professional dispatch assistant who will carefully and quickly assess the situation and link the caller to appropriate help.

Speak With A Highly-Trained Caring Professional Who Can Help...

In the event of any emergency - you press the Personal Help Button which signals the console to automatically call the LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarm System professionals 24 hours a day.

When an emergency operator receives your call for help, they will attempt to speak with you from the console's two-way speakerphone in order to determine your situation and respond accordingly.

In the event that you can not speak or are out of voice range, they will immediately begin to notify appropriate rescue personnel and the key people whom you pre-selected to respond: family members, neighbors or friends.

Best of all, the LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarm System is made by a twenty five year old  company that invented the wireless personal emergency transmitter and who is a leading manufacturer of emergency reporting systems in the United States.

Live independently, freely and confidently in your own home and give your family, friends and neighbors peace of mind knowing you can reach them if you ever should need their help.

"LifeGuardian is a fantastic service, and I did want to express my appreciation for the help you all gave her while she struggled. LifeGuardian works!" Jamie R, NYC, NY

Family, friends, neighbors and medical personnel whom you pre-designate are immediately notified, so they can respond quickly.

This professional-quality wireless system has proven dependable enough over the past twenty years to meet or exceed some very tough standards.

LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarm Systems is listed by Underwriters Laboratories as an approved home healthcare signaling device and a smoke alarm accessory.

Activating your LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarm System couldn't be simpler or more reliable. You keep a small lightweight waterproof Personal Help Button with you at all times. It can be worn three different ways: a pendant around the neck, on the wrist like a watch or clipped onto belt or pocket.

The personal help button is completely waterproof, so you can even wear it in the shower or bathtub. It will even tell you when a transmission has been sent to the console through a visual confirmation (a red indicator light) and an audible confirmation (a beep).

The long range 400 foot line-of-sight transmission range ensures that you can depend on its signal reaching the console - it can even work outside your home! However, we recommend you test for range at your individual location.

"My family and I appreciate very much the comfort which the (LifeGuardian Medical Alarm) system afforded us, knowing that if an accident occurred while he was alone, there was help just a button push away." Eric D, Richmond, VA

How A LifeGuardian Home Medical Alarm System Works

A LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarm System is a wireless electronic device designed to enable anyone to summon personal help whenever you need it.

If you are - have a family member - who lives alone or has medical conditions (Who Is At Risk), you may help protect yourself with a LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarm System.

Those that can especially benefit are folks over age 70, that have fallen recently, had recent hospital stays, known medical conditions, or who live (or can be left) alone where calling for emergency help or assistance may not be easy.

The LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarm System has three components: a small radio transmitter (a Personal Help Button carried or worn by the user); a console connected to the user's telephone; and an emergency response center that monitors calls.

If emergency help (medical, fire, or police) is needed, the LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarms System user simply presses their Personal Help Button. It sends a radio signal to the console.

The LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarm System is programmed to telephone your emergency response Security Center where the caller is identified.

All information about the subscriber (name, address, medical conditions, allergies, hide-a-key location, etc.) immediately appears on the computer screen of your emergency dispatcher.

The Security Center will try to determine the nature of the emergency. Security Center staff also may review your medical history and check to see who should be notified.

If the Security Center cannot contact you or determine whether an emergency exists, it will alert your local emergency service providers (paramedics) to go to your home.

Best of all, your Security Center emergency dispatcher will stay on the intercom with you and will continuously monitor the situation until the problem or emergency crisis is resolved.

"The installation/setup procedure went flawlessly, as did the link-up with the Security Center. Subsequent checks of the system always went well. I felt very confident that my mother had another layer of security around her." Dan L. Fremont, CA

Wireless, Waterproof Long-Range Personal Help Buttons

The LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarm System features a Personal Help Button that is  light-weight and waterproof. Your Personal Help Button is activated by pressing one button that is conveniently worn on a chain around the neck, on a wrist band or clipped to a belt or in a pocket.

Your Personal Help Button is battery-powered and can last up to four years before replacement.

The LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarm System console acts as an automatic dialing machine and sends the emergency alert through the phone lines. It works with any private telephone line and generally does not require any re-wiring.

The LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarm System console also provides you with some very valuable accessories - at no extra cost. First, we include an emergency back-up battery to provide you to hours of continued protection in the event of a local power failure.

We also install the optional 2-way voice board - enabling emergency operators to attempt to establish 2 way voice contact with the subscriber. An added security and safety feature only available from top quality equipment manufacturers.

"I am very grateful to your company for the security you provided to my mother and the peace of mind it brought to my sisters and brother. Thank you for being there." M. Piziak St.Clair Shores, MI

Your LifeGuardian Care Center Is Standing By 24/7!

In the event of a personal emergency, the LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarm System subscriber simply presses the "Emergency" on the console - or the wireless personal Help Call Button worn on their person.

It triggers the base console to immediately begin to announce "Emergency, Emergency" for one minute. This tells the subscriber that the system has been activated and allows the time to press "clear" button to cancel the emergency response.

With about one minute from activation, an emergency operator will announce themselves from the 2 way voice-enabled console and attempt to speak directly with the subscriber.

If the subscriber can respond, they simply need to tell the operator what is the problem and appropriate assistance (medical, friends, neighbors, fire, or police) is immediately summoned.

Best of all the Security Center operator will stay on the line with the subscriber until help arrives. This provides valuable reassurance that their call is being answered.

In the event the Security Center operators can not establish two way voice communications with the subscriber, they will immediately dispatch the closest paramedics.

"Thank you for the wonderful response time and courtesy extended by your staff." D. Newberg, OR

The responding paramedics will be informed en-route of any important information (medical conditions, medications, allergies, location & combination of hide-a-keys, etc) to insure the best possible response.

After the paramedics are dispatched in response to the call for help, Security Center will then begin to contact the emergency call list which is established at the time your account is set-up including  family members, neighbors, & friends.

When seconds count, why would anyone risk the life of a loved one by using any other than a certified and tested LifeGuardian™ Medical Alarm System?

"You have a wonderful product..." Robert W. Richmond, TX
