The Agrippa Pillow Alarm has been designed to address this particular issue and is a portable, battery powered, wire-free unit that uses Geofire's ‘listen and learn’ technology. A pad attachment goes under a sleeper’s pillow. It can be moved around a building as required and ensures compliance with elements of the Equality Act 2010.

The Agrippa Pillow Alarm’s performance has received a very favourable response from Louise: ‘For me, the Agrippa Pillow Alarm is the perfect solution, as it gives a deaf person protection from the danger of fire while in sleeping accommodation. It allows deaf guests like myself to sleep with our minds put at ease, a reassurance that all hotel guests should enjoy. It’s clear from its design that it’s perfect for hoteliers too.’

UK manufacturer Geofire specialises in the manufacture of a wide range of life safety devices used widely as part of fire, security or ventilation systems.
