The Fall Savers Wireless Pager is a portable wireless alert receiver for care staff, delivering instant notifications from all compatible Fall Savers sensors to individual carers on the move. The belt-clip design provides hands-free operation, with audible alarm and vibration modes for alert delivery in any care environment. Compatible with the full Fall Savers wireless ecosystem including bed, chair and floor sensors, door and window transmitters and call buttons, the pager provides a single portable device that covers all Fall Savers monitoring alert types. Multiple pagers can be deployed across a care team to ensure every mobile carer has direct alert reception regardless of their position in the facility.

NICE Guideline NG147 (Falls in Older People) identifies prompt staff response as the mechanism that prevents a sensor-detected bed or chair exit from becoming a fall: the pager extends alert delivery to mobile staff, removing the response delay that occurs when a carer must travel to a fixed nurse call panel or static monitor before receiving an alert and then travel again to the patient. CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) is served by the mobile alert delivery: an alert that reaches the carer already moving in the facility creates a faster response trajectory than an alert that requires the carer to first return to a fixed alert point. CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance): care homes using Fall Savers pagers should document which pager is assigned to which staff member during each shift, ensuring that when a Fall Savers alert is generated, it is clear which staff member's pager received the alert and which carer was responsible for the response - supporting the response accountability record required for falls governance documentation.
Can the Fall Savers Wireless Pager differentiate between alert types - for example, displaying whether the alert is from a bed sensor or a call button?
The Fall Savers Wireless Pager receives wireless alerts from paired Fall Savers sensors and delivers an audible or vibration alert notification to the carer. Whether the pager displays information about the alert source - sensor type, room number or patient name - depends on the specific pager model's display and data reception capabilities. Some pager models display alphanumeric information from compatible transmitters; others provide only an alert signal without source identification. Check the NCL-51201 specification for display capability and confirm what alert source information is transmitted by the specific Fall Savers sensors in use, as transmitter models vary in the information they broadcast alongside the alert signal. If alert source identification is clinically important for the care home's response protocol, confirm this capability before purchasing.
What is the effective range of the pager, and does it work across multiple floors of a care home?
The Fall Savers Wireless Pager receives signals from the Fall Savers wireless receiver or monitoring system within the wireless range of that receiver's transmission. The pager itself is a receiver rather than a transmitter - its effective coverage area is determined by the Fall Savers receiver's transmission range to the pager location, not the pager's own signal characteristics. In multi-floor care homes, the wireless range between the Fall Savers receiver and the pager may be attenuated by floor structures and building materials. The Fall Savers Wireless Booster (NCL-51202) can extend wireless signal coverage across larger premises and to floors that are beyond the primary receiver's effective range, ensuring pager alerts reach carers on all floors where Fall Savers monitoring is in use.
