Now everyone can sleep free from the worry of fire, confident of waking when the smoke alarm sounds.
Conventional home smoke alarms typically warn people to the danger of fire through sound. That leaves deaf and hard-of-hearing people at high risk – especially while sleeping, because ordinary smoke alarms may not be jarring enough to awaken them.
Now, thanks to technology, deaf and hard-of-hearing people can be alerted to the danger of smoke and fire with SafeAwake—the "next-generation" of smoke alarm aids—designed especially for those who may not hear a conventional smoke alarm. The patented SafeAwake technology senses a standard smoke alarm and instantly:
- Activates an intermittent, motor-driven bed shaker which vibrates the bed to wake the sleeping.
- Emits a high-decibel, low frequency (500Hz) audible signal.
- Flashes a white light.
SafeAwake has been shown to be effective at waking sleeping people in sleep tests conducted by Combustion Science & Engineering, Inc, with a grant from the National Institutes of Health.* Although developed specifically to meet the needs of the deaf and hard-of-hearing, SafeAwake will also awaken heavy sleepers, those who have a habit of removing a hearing aid at night, and people with “aging ears,” such as Baby Boomers.
