“Providing our staff with a duress system that quickly provides location and identity has greatly improved response time to incidents.” Mark Bryant, Security Director

Staff Security

The TTI Guardian is a wireless duress and two-way paging system designed to provide assistance at the touch of a button. In the event of a disorderly patient or medical emergency a staff member simply needs to press the duress button on their two way pager or wireless call fob and a message will be automatically sent to an individual or group of pagers providing not only who triggered the alarm, but also their location. The time saved in delivering this information can be the difference between a minor incident and a major one. Acknowledgement messages can even be sent directly back to the individual that triggered the alert so they know assistance is on the way.

Optional man-down or no-response alarms can automatically send a message providing name and location in the event the pager or call fob is tilted beyond a certain level or there is no response from a worker in a pre-determined amount of time.

Patient Security

Incidents can occur quickly and without any warning, potentially creating safety issues for other patients.
At the first sign of any such incident a staff member simply needs to press the duress button and additional staff are instantly notified, thereby bringing about a quicker resolution to the problem.

Completely Wireless with Easy Installation

With existing buildings, wired systems are time consuming and expensive to install. The Guardian repeaters are completely wireless requiring no cabling and no A/C power. Designed to run for over two years before the standard alkaline batteries need to be replaced, installation is simple and inexpensive. Additional repeaters can be installed at any time to increase coverage, cover new additions, or even extend coverage to outdoor areas or between buildings. Secure enclosures can even be used to prevent vandalism or safety concerns. Both the two-way pager with personal alarm and the call fob operate on a long life AAA battery. The only powered component of the entire system is the Hub, which even comes with a battery back-up in the event of a power failure. In addition, there are no monthly airtime or recurring charges as with wireless carriers.
