| What is a Personal Response System? |
| Personal Emergency Response System or PERS, is an electronic device designed to let the user summon help in an emergency. Th e current PERS technology has been around for over 20 years. It has proven to be an e ective solution forpeople who are living alone and have concerns about their health. PERS systems are regularly recognized by doctors,nurses, social workers, as well as organizations like AARP and the American Heart Association. |
| MediPendant™ |
MediPendant™ is the world's fi rst fully-monitored two-way
voice speakerphone pendant for the PERS (personal
emergency response system) industry. Medical Alarm
Concepts™ has taken the proven PERS concept and
enhanced it with new state-of-the-art technology. Th e
MediPendant™ has some similarity to that of other PERS
units on the market today in that all systems utilize a small
pendant worn by the user. But, while all the other systems
require the user to be close to the base of the unit in order to
have a conversation with the attendant on the other end of
the line, MediPendant™ has no such requirement. With the
MediPendant™, the user can speak and listen directly
through the pendant, and have a two-way conversation with
an operator from virtually anywhere in and around their
home. With over 600+ feet (line of sight) of range, the
MediPendant™ enables the user to wander inside and
outside their home with limited restrictions. No other PERS
unit on the market today has this capability. It is a huge
advancement for the PERS industry.
Medical Alarm Concepts™ develops and manufactures
innovative products and practical solutions for the
personal emergency response system (PERS) and medical
alert industry. As a leader in personal communications
technology, Medical Alarm Concepts™ integrates
technologies and design into people-centric solutions.

| Perception Versus Reality |
People assume that all PERS systems are the same; that you can use one in, around, and outside the home. is is not
true. Our system has new modern technology that allows the user to speak and listen to the operator through the pendant.
Obviously a much safer solution, it allows the user to communicate from anywhere in the home, in the basement, on the
porch or outside in the in the yard.

All Personal Emergency Response Systems Are Not The Same
PERCEPTION: All of the PERS systems on the market today
enable the user to speak and listen to the operator directly
through the pendant.
FACT: Up until now, NONE of the monitored PERS systems on
the market today enable the user to speak and listen to the
operator directly through the pendant. Really, the only way to
speak to an operator is through the system's base. is typically
con nes the user to a one-room radius in the home.
REALITY: MediPendant™ technology has made the perception
a REALITY! e 20+ year old PERS system has nally
been upgraded with new technology. Th e user no longer has to
be near a central base station in the home to communicate with
the operator as they can communicate though the small,
wearable pendant.
PERCEPTION: Current PERS devices are eff ective when used
in the shower or bath.
FACT: While some PERS devices o er waterproof pendants,
the problem of communicating still exists, and actually becomes
even greater. With the bathroom door closed and the water
running, it is nearly impossible to hear anyone at all in the event
of an emergency! You are in a closed o room in another part of
the house.
REALITY: The MediPendant™ is water resistant and may be worn
in the bath or shower. Th e user can communicate with a call
center operator as they normally would right through the pendant.

All Monitoring Services Are Not The Same
PERCEPTION: All monitoring centers and the experience of
the operators and staff are the same.
FACT: Monitoring centers are not the same. Some are not fully
sta ed 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are not equipped to
handle a large volume of calls. Some call centers have no training
in emergency response at all!
REALITY: LifeSafety Monitoring™ is the preferred monitoring
center for the two-way voice MediPendant™. It is an upgrade over
conventional PERS call centers because of its ability to allow
Emergency Medical Technicians and friends or family to stay on
the line until help arrives.
PERCEPTION: Current PERS devices are eff ective when used
in the shower or bath.
FACT: While some PERS devices o er waterproof pendants,
the problem of communicating still exists, and actually becomes
even greater. With the bathroom door closed and the water
running, it is nearly impossible to hear anyone at all in the event

Personal Emergency Response Systems Are Much More Effective Than Calling 911 Or Using A Cell Phone
PERCEPTION: Calling 911 is the
quickest way to get help.
FACT: 911 will know nothing about
the caller or their friends and family.
REALITY: A call center will know all
contacts, medical history and even
current medication.
PERCEPTION: Calling 911 is discreet.
FACT: Th ere is no privacy when a user calls 911. A scene is
usually created in front of the user’s home as fi re trucks and
ambulances show up. Th ere is also potential for being caught in an
embarrassing situation as remen and police come the users aid.
REALITY: A monitoring center can determine if you need a
family member, friend or neighbor.
PERCEPTION: A cell phone is just as e ective as a PERS system.
FACT: Cell phones need to be turned on and charged, PERS
systems don't. Cell service isn’t always available. PERS pendants
can be worn in the bath or shower, cell phones can’t get wet.
ere are several buttons to press on a cell phone, only one
button on a PERS system.
REALITY: A PERS system is the safest, most e ective device to
have in an emergency.
