When selecting a magnetic alarm, consider the following factors:
- Sensitivity: Ensure the alarm is sensitive enough to detect movements but not overly sensitive to cause constant false alarms. - Volume: The alarm should be loud enough to alert staff but not too loud to cause distress. - Ease of Use: Choose alarms that are easy to set up and use, both for staff and patients. - Reliability: Opt for alarms from reputable manufacturers known for their reliability and durability.
