Deafgard - Portable and Wirefree Smoke Alarm for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

The Deafgard provides a wire-free solution for communicating the sounding of the fire alarm to the deaf and hard of hearing.

The Deafgard is a moveable wire-free and acoustically triggered bedside unit that incorporates a high intensity strobe and a connected vibrator pad. The pad is placed under the pillow and vibrates to wake the sleeper upon the fire alarm sounding. The flashing strobe and LCD provide visual indication that the fire alarm is sounding, allowing the individual to leave their room to a place of safety.

In hotels, for example, the Deafgard can be given to the deaf or hard of hearing guest upon arrival at the Reception. The Receptionist shows the guest how to operate the Deafgard unit. The Deafgard unit is then taken by the guest to his/her hotel room.
