AliMed® BreakAway Lap Cushion with Early Warning Alarm gently reminds patient to remain seated and alerts when patient attempts to rise from chair. Cushion also supplies patients in wheelchairs with a soft, comfortable surface to rest their hands. As the patient attempts to rise, a magnetic strap on one side of the lap cushion releases, activating the alarm. Fits 16" -18" wheelchairs.

AliMed® offers the Breakaway Lap Cushion to accompany four different alarms.
- AliMed® Basic Sensor Alarm your reliable standard patient alarm. When used with the nurse call jack, alarm sounds both locally at bedside and at the nurse call station. Use on chair or bed. Mounts easily with clip at back of unit.
- AliMed® TR2 Alarm is our most tamper-resistant unit. Perfect for patients who continually turn off alarms, disconnect sensor pads, or break alarms. It's always on – patients can't turn it off and caregivers won't forget to turn it on. All settings concealed under battery cover.
- AliMed® VOICE Alarm™ is perfect for a patient who may get confused or agitated by a loud siren or alarm tone. Staff or family members can easily record up to a 20-second message.
- AliMed® Worry-Free Alarm uses one battery for the life of the alarm, eliminating a common complaing: the hassles of low battery chirps and battery replacement.
