The WristPIT is a wrist worn Personal Infrared Transmitter to be used by patients to call for assistance. As well as utilising anti-microbial materials in its construction the WristPIT is also water resistant and will withstand showering and brief submersion. Unlike our other PIT products, this product has been designed exclusively for patient use and emits a PATIENT CALL level of code.
The WristPIT can be worn around the wrist by attaching it with our 25mm anti-microbial wrist strap. We recommend that the PIT is worn around the left wrist. Once the PIT is on the wrist it can be activated by pressing on the membrane button labelled “CALL”.
The WristPIT features a bi-colour reassurance LED on the right side of the “CALL” button. When activated the LED illuminates GREEN to indicate that the PIT has activated and that the battery level is good. When the battery level drops below an acceptable level the LED will illuminate RED. Once the PIT has entered into this battery low state the LED will continuously flash RED until the battery is changed and the device is retested.
The battery may be replaced. Undoing the 4x T6 TORX screws located on the back of the case. Place the unit face down and once the screws have been undone simply lift the rear cover away. Remove the 4LR44 battery and replace – paying attention to the polarity. Replace the rear cover making sure that the orange gasket does not become pinched and replace & re-tighten the screws. Do not over-tighten the screws. Once the unit has been reassembled retest the unit to ensure that the reassurance LED now illuminates GREEN.
