ALARM ARM®
Category: Safety
 |
Every day, thousands of children, teens, adults, and seniors are injured or die due to fires because they didn't have an adequate number of properly working smoke alarms in their homes.
While research shows that 94% of homes in the U.S. have at least one smoke alarm, more than eighty million smoke alarms in the U.S. are more than 10 years old. Smoke alarm manufacturers state that smoke alarms should be replaced after 10 years, therefore most smoke alarms in use are considered "non-functional".
This problem is due to the fact that today's state-of-the-art smoke alarms are often hard to reach and are thus time consuming and difficult to install, maintain or replace. Thus no one knows whether or not they work until an actual fire erupts and then it's too late.
Smoke alarms fail most often due to simple reasons such as missing, dead or disconnected batteries, thus the Alarm Arm® makes the process of removing/replacing an existing alarm to check the batteries, or installing a new smoke alarm, an easy and quick process without a ladder or other tools.
Due to the incredible ease of use and time saving benefits of Alarm Arm® smoke alarm mounting systems, the number of properly functioning smoke alarms will increase, thus saving lives, reducing injuries, and reducing property damage due to fires. Risk of injury or death due to ladder falls is also eliminated with the Alarm Arm®.
In a demonstration with this product, even a four year old was able to install and remove a smoke alarm from a ten-foot ceiling – completely unassisted. In addition to the general public, specific groups such as seniors and the physically challenged will benefit greatly from this product.
The Alarm Arm® smoke alarm mounting system is available in two formats:
---> it can either be integrated into the design of current smoke alarms at the manufacturing stage,
---> or it can be sold as an add-on product in a universal mount
configuration which will accept any typical "off-the-shelf" smoke alarm.
The Alarm Arm® technology can be utilized with any type of alarm, single-station or hard-wired. As new technology is introduced, consumers can effortlessly upgrade to the latest "state-of-the-art" technology with minimum effort or hassle.
