Duress system and medical alarm company

Duress systems are used in many health care facilities as a way to insure security for staff as well as patients. To be effective, a medical alarm must work in all conditions and locations while still being practical. Nordicom is a medical alarm company that manufactures innovative personal security localization solutions that offer exactly that.

What makes our duress systems different?

  • We use ultra-sonic technology
  • Our medical alarms work indoors and outdoors
  • Our products can pinpoint the location of the person in distress
Our innovative personal security products are widely used for acute healthcare services, such as psychiatric wards, as well as high security facilities to create safe environments for staff, patients and visitors.

Unlike traditional radio-based duress systems which have overlapping zones that may be restricted to specific rooms, Nordicom’s ultrasonic-based Securalert paging system is capable of identifying with accuracy the exact room where a person is in distress. Worn directly on an individual for easy access, Securealert can be discreetly hidden using a belt clip, worn on clothing or placed in a pocket. Our line of duress systems includes two generations of SecurAlert duress alarms that are tailored to specific needs.

SecurAlert 1st generation duress system

The first generation of SecurAlert duress system was created to meet the growing needs for personal security. Our paging system allows security or medical personnel to go about their business while still being able to respond quickly to security issues inside the building. Using ultrasonic technology and newly evolved paging technology, the person responsible is warned instantly when the panic button is pushed. When activated, an alarm goes off on the receiver panel and any personnel connected to the duress system automatically gets a message on their pagers or other warning devices. What makes our duress system so different is that it accurately locates the person in distress. Perfect for medical personnel and contained environments, our SecurAlert duress system is reliable and efficient. Find out more about our duress alarms.

SecurAlert 2nd generation and personal security

The second generation of SecurAlert paging system was designed to provide personal security beyond normal perimeters. Our duress system is accurate enough to pinpoint a location no matter what the orientation of the transmitter, with minor obstacles between the receiver and the transmitter. With state of the art technology we can easily and accurately determine the location of a person in distress inside or outside a building. We combined ultrasonic signals and radio frequency technologies to achieve the most accurate duress system possible. We have also restricted the signal to a single room to avoid confusion when more than one duress system is installed. With our SecurAlert 2nd generation paging system, personal security is possible inside and outside. Find out more about our paging system and our medical alarms.
