Stop Strip Door Alarm System

The Stop Strip Alarm for patient safety secures to door frames with the included hook and loop tape. A magnetic attachment sounds the alarm when pulled. Pressure-sensitive strips are included for mounting to the left and right sides of the door frame or to the wall on either side of the frame. Strips should be positioned at mid-height on the door frame or on the wall next to the door frame. Attach strips to the corridor side of the door frame or wall so that the Stop-Strip is outside of the room. Strips are not magnetic.
