Review: Sammons Preston Fall Alarm I found it impossible to install the 9v battery, JUNK! - The Sammons Preston Magnet Alarm arrived yesterday. Today I decided to put it to use. The first thing was to install the battery, a 9v battery. I am 74 yrs old & in good health with no hand arthritis. Yet I found it IMPOSSIBLE to install the battery unless I tried to pry it in place using a large screw driver. That would probably have broken the plastic side which would have made returning it impossible. I asked my 42 year old son to give it a try. NOT POSSIBLE. There was a small piece of black foam glued to the back part of the battery compartment. I thought that probably that this foam was keeping the battery from being installed. But if I had cut the foam out I would have damaged the product and would not have been able to return it. Didn’t any one in the company try to fit the battery in place before sending it out for manufacture and sales? All I can tell you is that this product is TOTALLY UNSUITABLE FOR ANYONE WITHOUT GREAT PHYSICAL TO INSTALL THE BATTERY. AND IF YOU THINK I AM PUTTING YOU ON – GO AHEAD AND TRY IT YOURSELF – WITH THE FOAM ON THE BACK END IN PLACE. If that wasn’t enough reason to toss this back to the manufacturer, the hinged clasp is so strong that it was virtually impossible to open and keep it opened up – to facilitate installing the battery. Why would anybody make a product so totally UNFIT FOR USE BY SENIORS or even their grown children. All I can say is that I give this product, which cost less than $22 one star because I can't give it a 0 star. Bottom line: JUNK. UNSUITABLE FOR THOSE WHOSE USE IT WAS INTENDED. Wonder where it was made? Review: SAFETY shortcoming. - This product is totally inadequate from a safety point of view. The length of the safety line needs to be 2-3 times longer than it really is. I cannot return the unit as the returned date was 8/27/25. I JUST WANT OTHER BUYERS TO BE AWARE OF THIS PRODUCT SHORT COMINGS. ## Features - Easy to operate, reliable and economical, spring loaded clip attaches to wheelchair or other surface and the cord with small metal clip attaches to patients clothing. When patient stands cord with magnet pulls away triggering alarm - Alarm unit measures 5" by 2" by 1.25" with cord for clipping on to patient attached by magnet adjusting up to 30" long for personal distance boundaries, alarm has high and low volume settings of 105dB and 90dB - Red light flashes when alarm is triggered or battery is low for safe use and battery door is tool free and will not open if dropped - Sammons Preston Magnet Alarm has an extra secure fit, battery won't fall out if dropped, making it more difficult for users to disable alarm - Sammons Preston Magnet Alarm passed an Independent Lab's 500 drop test making it ideal for monitoring as it will not malfunction or break if dropped ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0745LY5B1 | | Batteries | 1 9V batteries required. | | Battery Description | Lithium | | Best Sellers Rank | #166,880 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #181 in Medical Bed Safety & Assisting Rails | | Control Method | Touch | | Date First Available | June 22, 2012 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885914052099 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 4.9 ounces | | Item model number | 30280 | | Manufacturer | Patterson Medical Holdings Inc. | | Maximum Range | 30 Inches | | Mounting Type | Tabletop Mount | | Noise Level | 105 Decibels | | Number of Batteries | 1 9V batteries required. | | Product Dimensions | 2 x 1.25 x 5 inches | | Sensor Technology | Contact Sensor | | UPC | 885914052099 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Patterson Medical - **Color:** White - **Compatible Devices:** Bed, Chair, Wheel Chair - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Product Dimensions:** 2"L x 1.25"W x 5"H ## Images ![Sammons Preston Magnet Alarm, Fall Management System for Elderly Residents, Aid for Monitoring Patients in Bed or In Wheelchairs, Alarm System for Assisted Living Residents and Elderly Care - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61OpXVRNKwL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it strictly battery or can you get an ac adapter for it?** A: Battery only. You would not want one that you have to plug in, because if it came unplug with movement before the magnet released it would not go off. I found this particular alarm very helpful from bedtime and chair time. **Q: Has anyone had issues with the sound of this alarm setting off your home security system at night?** A: I don't have that issue. I can't see why it would unless it magnet alarms goes off and the sound of it may make the home security system go off as well. ???? **Q: What size battery does it use?** A: 9Volt **Q: How easy is this to "put back together" after the alarm goes off? Needing it to remind mother to use her walker....** A: The magnet is attached to the other end of the string. When the string is pulled, the magnet comes off the alarm part and the sound is then made to make you aware she needs help. All you have to do to make the alarm stop is to put the magnet back over the metal circle on the alarm. The clip part needs to be attached to her or something very close to her, so when she moves or falls, it will go off. I hope this helps. I use mine for my sister so before she gets up out of the chair or bed it goes off. I do place it in a way that she has some room to move naturally without it going off. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Sammons Preston Fall Alarm I found it impossible to install the 9v battery, JUNK! *by N***G on May 8, 2020* The Sammons Preston Magnet Alarm arrived yesterday.

The length of the safety line needs to be 2-3 times longer than it really is. I cannot return the unit as the returned date was 8/27/25. I JUST WANT OTHER BUYERS TO BE AWARE OF THIS PRODUCT SHORT COMINGS. ### ⭐ Don't buy this. *by C***R on January 5, 2022* Poorly designed, poorly packaged, delivered damaged. Do yourself a favor and find a different product that does the same thing. I wish I had. This design is soooo dumb that the latch mechanism is a practical 'rat-trap' and will smash your fingers when you try to install the battery. The spring is way too strong and the arm is way too long. In addition, the 9V battery that was included was badly dented so it was near impossible to install. I can't imagine what they were thinking when they designed this or how badly it was handled to be able to dent a 9V battery. All-in-all, this product is a LOSER. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sammons Preston Magnet Alarm, Fall Management System for Elderly Residents, Aid for Monitoring Patients in Bed or In Wheelchairs, Alarm System for Assisted Living Residents and Elderly Care - Basic Pull String Alarm for Fall Prevention and Anti-Wandering by Smart Caregiver - BPS-01 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/66011981-sammons-preston-magnet-alarm-fall-management-system-for-elderly-residents](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/66011981-sammons-preston-magnet-alarm-fall-management-system-for-elderly-residents) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
