It sounds incredible but a standard smoke alarm potentially would not wake a high percentage children aged 6-15 in a house fire, because the sound fails to wake them.

In addition over 9 million people are registered as deaf or hearing impaired in the UK and would not automatically wake to a standard smoke or carbon monoxide alarm.

The most at risk groups including the elderly, infirm or simply heavy sleepers are also more at risk and may not wake up in the event of a fire.

The vibrating alarm is placed under a pillow or cushion and will shake you awake if either a Wi-Safe Smoke Alarm or Wi-Safe Carbon Monoxide Alarm is triggered.

Multiple Vibrating Pads can be used, and they can also work in conjunction with the Wi-Safe Warning Handset

In The Home
The Wi-Safe Vibrating Pad can be placed anywhere in your home, typically under a pillow or cushion to ensure that the user wakes when potential fire, smoke and carbon monoxide problems are detected elsewhere in the house.
