Smart new pillow alarm alerts deaf or hard of hearing

Geofire’s ‘listen and learn’ technology, that’s delivering new levels of functionality and reliability to the Agrippa acoustic range of fire door holders and ‘swing-free’ closers, is now being used to alert deaf or hard of hearing people if the fire alarm sounds while they are sleeping.

The Agrippa Pillow Alarm is a battery powered, wire-free unit with a pad attachment that simply goes under a pillow.

It uses ‘listen and learn’ digital wire-free technology that listens for the unique sound of a specific fire alarm. If the fire alarm sounds the pillow pad vibrates, high intensity LED lights flash and an LCD screen displays ‘fire’. As it’s compact and portable it can be moved around a building as required.

Features include:

  • no installation
  • portable
  • ensures compliance with elements of the Equality Act 2010
  • LCD time and alarm clock includes flashing white LED visual warning
  • complies with the highest European standards
  • product design conserves battery power, with expected battery life of up to two years
  • visual warning of low battery and radio signal fault.
