Wired Deluxe Alertamat, Luxury Carpeted Fall Prevention Mat for Dementia and Risk Management
- The original and only genuine carpeted fall prevention mat, available in five colours for integration with care home bedroom flooring, triggering an immediate nurse call alert when stepped on at the bedside or doorway - wired connection via 3m cable delivers guaranteed signal to the nurse call system without RF transmission dependency or wireless range limitations.
- Built-in "Y" cable enables a second Alerta device - such as the Wired Alerta Button - to connect through the same nurse call point, providing dual-sensor monitoring from a single socket and eliminating the need for the Double Plug Adaptor in most standard dual-device configurations.
- Breakaway cable design separates at a controlled point when pulled or stepped on, preventing cable strain at the mat connector and the nurse call socket, reducing equipment damage in high-movement overnight care environments where cable tripping is a documented risk in fall prevention monitoring setups.
- Non-slip base, reinforced wiring and welded seams for clinical durability, with the carpeted surface improving monitoring compliance in dementia care settings where high-contrast clinical mats trigger purposeful avoidance stepping, while connecting directly to a nurse call system or independently via the Alerta Alarm Monitor (sold separately).
Wired Deluxe Alertamat: Original Genuine Carpeted Fall Prevention Mat with Nurse Call Integration
The Wired Deluxe Alertamat is the original and only genuine carpeted fall prevention mat, predating and inspiring the wireless carpeted variant. Available in five colours for integration with any care home bedroom floor scheme, it triggers an immediate alert when a user steps onto the mat at the bedside or across a doorway. The 3 metre wired cable connects directly to a nurse call system for centralised alerting, or to the Alerta Alarm Monitor (sold separately) for standalone in-room alerting where nurse call infrastructure is not available. A built-in "Y" cable allows a second Alerta device to share the same nurse call socket, and the breakaway cable design prevents equipment damage when the cable is pulled or stepped on during movement.

Clinical and Regulatory Compliance
NICE Guideline NG147 (Falls in Older People) identifies timely carer notification as the primary mechanism for preventing bed exit or doorway crossing from becoming a fall: the Wired Deluxe Alertamat provides that notification at the moment of first foot contact with the mat, before the user has moved more than a step from the monitored zone. The wired connection to the nurse call system provides guaranteed signal delivery: unlike wireless systems where RF transmission can be interrupted by building construction, signal congestion or battery failure, a wired connection transmits every alert reliably and without transmission dependency. CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) benefits from the maintenance simplicity of wired monitoring: no transmitter battery to monitor, no wireless pairing to verify and no range to test - the wired connection is either functional or visibly disconnected, supporting simpler equipment maintenance documentation. CQC Regulation 10 (Dignity and Respect) is supported by the carpeted appearance: sensor mats that visually blend into the bedroom floor create a less institutionally intrusive monitoring environment in care home residents' personal rooms.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the built-in "Y" cable work, and which Alerta devices can be connected to it?
The integrated "Y" cable branches from the Wired Deluxe Alertamat's main cable, providing a second nurse call jack connection from the same cable run. This allows a second Alerta wired device - most commonly the Wired Alerta Button - to be connected at the bedside, so both the mat exit alert and the user's call button alert are delivered through the same nurse call point without requiring an additional socket or a separate Double Plug Adaptor. The "Y" cable connector accepts any compatible Alerta wired device with a matching jack. When the mat is triggered or the button is pressed, the alert transmits to the nurse call system in the usual way. Note that both devices share the same nurse call circuit: if the nurse call system differentiates between alert types by socket, confirm with the nurse call system installer that the shared socket configuration is appropriate before deployment.
What is the difference between the Wired Deluxe Alertamat and the Wireless Deluxe Alertamat, and when should each be chosen?
The Wired and Wireless Deluxe Alertamats have the same carpeted surface available in five colours and the same 60x90cm footprint. The fundamental difference is the connection method. The wired version connects via a 3m cable directly to the nurse call system or Alarm Monitor - no batteries are required for the mat or transmitter, and signal delivery is guaranteed by the physical cable. The wireless version connects via a battery-powered transmitter to the Alerta Wall Point Receiver at up to 95 metres range. The wired version is preferred for permanent bedside installations where the nurse call socket is within cable reach and cable management is not a clinical concern. The wireless version is preferred for settings where cabling is impractical - for example, where the nurse call socket is across the room, in home care settings without nurse call infrastructure, or where the monitoring location changes frequently.
