The Slimline Personal Help Button weighs less than 1/2 ounce (half as much as other medical alert buttons), and is waterproof so it can be worn in the shower or bath, where accidents can occur. This medical call button can be worn as an adjustable pendant design or a modern looking wrist-watch.

Caution: Choosing your help button
It is important that you and your caregiver choose the Personal Help Button most suitable for you. Please consider the following:
Pendant Styles
The Classic and Slimline Pendants are worn around the neck; this helps make the button easily accessible by either of your hands.
Caution: The Pendant's neck cord is not designed to break away. Therefore, it can pose a choking risk, including the possibility of death and serious injuries. This may apply to wearers in wheelchairs, using walkers, using beds with guard rails, or otherwise protruding objects upon which the cord can become tangled. Wearers for whom this is a concern may wish to consider the Wrist Style method.
Wrist Styles
The Slimline Wristband is worn around your wrist. Caution: In circumstances where the user's arm that is not wearing the Wristband becomes immobilized (examples: due to stroke or arm being trapped under a heavy object), this can present a risk that the user will be unable to press the button.
Please consult your caregiver or Lifeline Program on which Help Button style is most appropriate for you.
