What is it?
The Tunstall Lifeline Fall Detector is designed to recognise sudden, hard, and uncontrolled falls or collapses, especially when the user hits the ground without support from their hands or nearby objects. It subsequently monitors movement patterns and automatically sends an alert if there is no response.
In addition, it functions as a personal alarm button, allowing the user to call for help manually whenever needed. The activity monitoring is based on clinical data studies that analyse everyday movement patterns and real fall situations among elderly individuals.
It is optimised to filter out non-fall activities and focus on detecting the most serious falls, while maintaining market leading battery efficiency and
a long product lifespan.
Who is it for?
The Lifeline Fall Detector is designed for individuals with conditions that increase the risk of collapse.
It helps ensure faster access to care when the accident occurs. The device can be used at home with a Tunstall Lifeline home unit, or in retirement and assisted living communities.
How does it work?
With a single press, the Lifeline Fall Detector sends an instant alert to a Lifeline or Communicall system, ensuring help is on the way.
It also automatically detects serious, uncontrolled falls when the user may be unable to raise the alarm themselves and alerts responders.

Notices
* Battery life can be affected by extreme temperatures, weak or intermittent connectivity, or battery aging.
**A low battery alert is triggered when the Tunstall Lifeline Pendant reaches 30% charge.
*** The Tunstall Lifeline Fall Detector is designed to detect sudden, nonmechanical collapses or uncontrolled falls where the user may lose control of their body, such as in cases of potential unconsciousness. It will not detect controlled or conscious falls where the user braces themselves, nor minor stumbles or trips without loss of control.
The device is not intended to catch all types of falls. It specifically targets serious, uncontrolled falls, particularly when the user is unable to trigger an alarm manually. Users should always press the alarm button if they are conscious and able, rather than relying solely on automatic fall detection.
