to sensitive electronic devices or devices which produce strong electromagnetic fields
such as radio transmitters, mobile phones or power cables.

turer for assistance with Risk Evaluation Tools.

the manufacturers for advice.

The Alert-it system has been designed with due regard to reliability and integrity. While it
offers a highly vigilant monitoring method, it is always possible that a distress condition can
go undetected for a variety of reasons (including malfunction) and in life threatening situa-
tions it is advisable to use the Alert-it system in conjunction with additional monitoring
techniques (e.g. video). Neither the manufacturer nor its agent can accept legal responsibility
to provide a system that is infallible. The carer is responsible for assessing the risks of using
this equipment and any settings pertaining to it.
