SECURA Duo Alarm System (DAS)

The Door Top Alarm (DTA) has been revolutionising patient safety in the mental health sector for over a decade, and now the team behind the technology has launched the Duo Alarm System designed to detect when pressure is applied to the top or bottom of the door and has a variable alarmed delay setting.

The Intastop Duo Alarm System (DAS)  is compatible with most staff attack systems and will alert staff via an audible alarm and staff indicator panel via the pager or main computer.

If the alarm bar is pressed nothing will happen until the programmed delay setting in the electronic box is activated. The Duo Alarm System is the latest innovation from Intastop designed to alert health teams of potential ligature attempts on the top and bottom of doorsets. It comprises of the Door Top Alarm and Door Bottom Alarm. LED lighting shows the Duo Alarm System working without setting the alarm off, helping with risk assessment period checks. The LED is not visible to patients. An inspection magnet is used to aid installation and carry our risk assessments.

The electronic box is housed in ceilings/lofts and connects to the mains power and staff attack system. Power transfer to the door goes via Intastop’s Electrical Transfer Hinge which ensures all cabling and electronics are concealed.

A commissioning and planned preventative maintenance programme is offered as an additional service.  Please contact our sales department for full details of what is included.
