Tunstall's range of telecare sensors currently available includes:

Personal health and wellbeing

Bed/Chair Occupancy Telecare Sensor Bed/Chair Occupancy Sensor - provides an early warning by alerting that the user has left their bed or chair and not returned within a preset time period, indicating a potential fall. The sensor can also be programmed to switch on lights, helping people find their way to and from bed easily.
Enuresis Telecare Sensor Enuresis Sensor - Placed between the mattress and sheet, this sensor provides immediate warning on detection of moisture, allowing effective action to be taken. The sensor eliminates the need for carers to make physical checks, promoting dignity and independence.
Epilepsy Telecare Sensor Epilepsy Sensor - This state of the art sensor monitors the user's vital signs including heart rate and breathing patterns to detect a range of epileptic seizures. The sensor eliminates the need for carers to make physical checks, promoting independence and dignity.
VitalBase Telecare Fall DetectorVitalBaseFALL Fall Detector - A wrist worn fall detector designed to identify a serious fall that leads to a state of unconciousness and immobility of the user and upon detection of such a fall, raises and automatic call to the monitoring centre.
Telecare Fall DetectorFall Detector - 8,000 older people fall every day in the UK. Tunstall's fall detector can provide valuable peace of mind by automatically detecting a serious fall and raising an alert to the monitoring centre or designated carer.
Medication Dispenser Medication Dispenser - Provides an effective solution to support medication compliance by automatically dispensing medication and providing audible and visual alerts to the user each time medication should be taken. If the user fails to access the medication, an alert is raised to the monitoring centre or designated carer.
Telecare Reminder Messages Reminder messages - The reminder functionality of the Lifeline Connect+ informs the user about key information, for example a family member can record a message to remind the user to take a their medication at a particular time. If the user hasn’t confirmed receipt of the message, an alert will be raised with the monitoring centre, who can proactively call the user to check everything is alright.
Fast PIR Telecare Sensor Fast PIR (Movement Detector) - A wireless movement detector that has been enhanced to enable its use the new features of the Lifeline Connect+, including Virtual Sensors and ADLife. It can also be used as part of an intruder alarm and for both activity and inactivity monitoring.
PIR Telecare Sensor PIR (Movement Detector) - A wireless movement detector that can be used for both activity and inactivity monitoring, for example, to check if a person has got out of bed or visited the kitchen. 
Telecare Pressure mat Pressure Mat - Monitors movement in a specific area, for example to monitor if someone has got of bed or left the house.
Property exit sensor Property Exit Sensor - As 40% of people with dementia are prone to walking about, this sensor specifically monitors for people leaving a building at unusual times of day or night. It can also detect if a main exit door has been left open and can be linked to external lighting to provide added protection.
Telecare Pull cord Pull Cord (Radio) - To raise alerts in areas where   personal triggers are unlikely to be worn e.g. positioned next to the bed. A wired version is also   available.
RFID Buttons Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Buttons - Providing dignity in care for laundry management.
Minuet Watch Minuet Watch - This has been developed to help encourage telecare users to wear their personal triggers throughout the day. By combining an alarm button with a high quality watch, users are more likely to wear it and as a result will be provided with additional protection as their ability to raise an alarm is increased.
MyAmie PendantMyAmie Pendant (Radio) - The MyAmie is a small and discreet pendant designed to provide more comfortable wearing options for the user. Operating on the 869MHz dedicated social alarm frequency, the MyAmie pendant enables the user to raise a call for help in their home or garden, within a 50m range of the Lifeline home unit, simply by pressing the large red button.
Personal trigger Telecare AlarmPersonal Trigger (Radio)  - Amie & Gem - Worn round the neck, on the wrist or attached to an item of clothing, personal triggers enable a call for help to be raised anywhere in the home or garden within a 50m range of the Lifeline home unit. Both operate on the 173MHz frequency.

Environmental monitoring

Carbon monoxide detector Carbon Monoxide Detector (wireless)   - Warns of dangerous CO levels which otherwise could go undetected, providing unrivalled levels of accuracy and reliability. 
Telecare Flood detector Flood Detector - Provides an early warning of flood situations, such as taps being left on.
Gas shut off valve Gas Shut Off Valve - When combined with the natural gas detector, this solution automatically cuts off the gas supply to an appliance when a leak is detected.

Heat Detector Heat Detector - The wireless Heat Detector provides additional protection against the risk of fires in rooms where smoke detectors are unsuitable e.g. kitchen.
Temperature extremes sensor Temperature Extremes Sensor - Monitors for low and high temperature extremes in addition to rate of  rise of temperature. Helps minimise the risks associated with changes in temperature including the build up of heat in a kitchen and the risk of sustained periods of cold weather.
X10 controller X-10 Controllers - Can be used in conjunction with  the Bed/Chair Occupancy and Property Exit Sensors in order to switch on lights when a sensor is activated.

Safety and security

Bogus Caller Button
Bogus Caller Button - Fixed near the door, this button will provide reassurance in the event of an unexpected caller.
Arm/Disarm TriggerArm/Disarm/Zoning Trigger - this trigger is based on a MyAmie. It allows users to arm the intruder functionality at the touch of a button on vacating their dwelling and then to disarm it in the same way as they re-enter. It can also be used as a zoning trigger to enable users to arm PIRs (movement detectors) downstairs whilst disabling sensors upstairs to allow movement during the night.
Access TriggerAccess Trigger (Carer Trigger) - this trigger is based on the MyAmie. It allows authorised carers to access a client's property once an alarm call has been raised and the need for on site help has been determined.

Sensory impairments

DDA Solution - Tunstall's DDA Solution combines a pager, transmitter, under pillow pad and optional flashing beacon to provide visually impaired people with additional support and protection by ensuring they are immediately alerted when an alarm is raised.
DDA Pager DDA Vibrating pager - When a telecare sensor is activated, the Lifeline sends a signal to the DDA transmitter, which alerts the wearer by vibrating an LED.
Telecare Wrist PagerDDA Wrist pager - The Wrist pager is a small, discreet paging device that is designed to be worn like a watch. Like the standard pager, the wrist pager vibrates and lights coloured LEDs when a telecare event is generated. 
DDA Pager and Pillow Alert DDA Pager charger including pillow alert - The DDA pager charger is required to charge the pager. The cradle also links to a vibrating under pillow alert and when the pager is in the cradle, it automatically vibrates when an alarm is raised.
DDA Flashing Beacon DDA Flashing beacon - The beacon works with the pager and flashes to indicate when a telecare alarm has been raised.
 
Home alert / carer pager Home Alert Carer / User Alert Pager - Enables carers to be notified of alarm calls when they are at home or in the garden rather than routing them to the response centre. Can also be programmed to vibrate to provide alerts to people who have hearing impairments.  
Inductive Loop System Inductive Loop System - The system has been designed to connect to a Lifeline Connect+ or Communicall Connect speech module to enable the user to clearly hear the operator/caller during alarm calls through the Tunstall units.
Visual call beaconVisual Call Beacon - Provides visual confirmation when a sensor or trigger is activated.
Sounder beacon Sounder Beacon - Available in blue or red, it provides audio and visual confirmation of alarm call. Provides additional reassurance for hearing impaired people.

 

Support devices

Telecare GSM Monitor GSM Module - Specifically designed to connect to Lifeline home units or Communicall Vision warden call systems, allowing calls to be raised using the GSM cellular mobile phone network.
Radio output module Radio Output Module (ROM) - Allows other  compatible devices, to transmit a signal to a Lifeline home unit and other Tunstall telecare enabled systems, eliminating the need to hard wire a sensor or detector to the Lifeline home unit.
Safe SocketSafe Socket - Ensures that alarm calls are raised even though the telephone line is in use. It allows the Lifeline home unit to seize the phone line from other connected devices on the same line (i.e. extension phone, computer, fax machine, satellite receiver etc).
Universal sensor Universal Sensor - Provides additional benefits to the Radio Output Module by enabling wired devices and other equipment to raise an alarm call wirelessly using Plug and Play functionality.
