Description

What type of seizures will these monitors detect?  

Applicable to all models. The Medpage range of seizure monitors are designed to detect Tonic/Clonic seizures, which they do very successfully with the majority of patients. Partial or absence seizures would not be detected where only facial or occasional limb twitching occurs. It is not recommended to attempt to use a monitor to detect those seizure types.

 How do the monitors work?

  A sensor is placed between the bed base and the mattress. When a seizure begins the muscular convulsions are detected by the bed sensor(s). All models feature an adjustable delay control, used to allow a certain amount of movement before an alarm is generated. The bed sensor sensitivity level can be adjusted to compensate for patient weight, type of bed base and mattress type. All Medpage models feature anti-tamper alarm to warn if switched off by patient.

  Is there an age or weight minimum/maximum limit?  

Yes. For adults experiencing Tonic/Clonic seizures, the MP5, MP2 and ST-2 range, will successfully detect seizures from most patients on most bed types. Some exceptions should be noted; Air flow mattresses with noisy pumps can be problematic because strong constant vibrations will be detected resulting in a false alarm. Some thick memory foam type mattresses may impair detection of the movement sensor. If in doubt consult our help line.   For younger children, consideration of their weight and type of bed is required. The minimum recommended weight of child for use of a monitor sleeping in a cot/crib is 28Lb’s (12.7Kg). This applies to MP5, MP2, ST-2. If you have witnessed a seizure, it will help to identify the level of movement required for successful seizure detection. Jerking movements, rocking from side-to-side, and moderate shivering movements can be detected by the sensor(s). Occasional twitching of a limb or facial movements will not be detected.   If the child sleeps in a standard single bed (from the age of 3 and above) a dual sensor model such as the MP5-TWIN should be used. The MP5 has a good level of sensitivity adjustment that will compensate for most bed types. A small child sleeping in a double bed would be considered to be unsuitable for any monitor type.  The MP5 and MP2 incorporate a microphone that can be used to detect vocalizations preceding and during a seizure. The microphone alarm has an instant response alarm and a frequency tuned to human sounds such as gargling, choking, grunting. When used in conjunction with the bed sensor, the monitors are very quick to recognize seizure activity and raise an alarm.

Model MP5 Details:

SIMPLE to use Monitor Detects Epilepsy Seizures and Transmit Alarm Signal to a Pager. The Medpage MP5 has been in use since 1996. During this time the MP5 has helped thousands of caregivers and families detect nocturnal convulsive seizures resulting from excessive movement from a person in bed. The principle of operation is simple and reliable. Detected seizures are notified via a radio signal to a pager with a range of up to 100 Metres.

The MP5 is used by hospitals, care homes and families worldwide for the detection of convulsive seizures and when used in accordance with the instructions for use will provide a fast response to on-going seizures of the Tonic-Clonic (Grand Mal) type.

The positions of the dials shown in the photograph represent an average setting for the detection of most convulsive seizures. Sensitivity of the bed sensor(s) can be increased to allow for thicker bed mattresses or milder convulsive seizures. Movement delay can be increased for people that move around more than normal during sleep to reduce false alarms.

The MP5 is best suited to monitor one service user with epilepsy, it is possible to use more than one movement monitor with one or two alarm pagers.

Based on use in a single sized bed the minimum recommended age for this model is five years or 56 lb minimum weight. The MP5 is supplied with two pagers (one reserved as a standby) that produce vibration with tone sound. When the bed movement monitor detects a seizure the built in transmitter sends a signal to the pagers up to a distance of 100M.

Operates from 2 x AA batteries. Lightweight and compact with sturdy belt clip. Alarm options are: vibrate only, vibrate with low volume alarm tone, vibrate with high volume alarm tone. Also includes flashing LED on alarm. Low battery warning. Operating temperature -10c - + 50c. Dimensions: H 80mm W 60mm D 28mm. Weight including batteries 125gms.
