Fall detect mode- This is the normal mode of operation. In this mode the help button and the fall detector algorithms
are active and ready for use. The myActive Alert + fall Detection pendant utilizes a 3-axis accelerometer and propri-
etary fall algorithm designed to be worn around the neck and detect whether the user has fallen. The algorithm and
enclosure have been designed to maximize accurate fall detection and minimize the rate of false alarms. In order for
a fall to be detected by the Fall Sensor, a series of steps with specifi c parameters must be met. These steps include,
but are not limited:
1.
A timed free-fall event
2.
Strike or impact
3.
Final resting position (device must come to rest in a non-vertical position)
