Fire and smoke safety for vulnerable residents

Reduces smoke alarms

Airis acts proactively, which means a drastic reduction of smoke alarm activations and subsequent alarms to the alarm response centre.

Saves costs of meal provision

Airis means independence and an improved quality of life. As it allows people to cook safely for themselves, meal provision – and its associated cost – is no longer necessary.

Prevents fires and toxic smoke

Airis protects vulnerable people from the risk of fire and toxic smoke inhalation. It doesn't wait for fires – it prevents them, and all without affecting everyday cooking.

Why stop people cooking just because they're a little forgetful?

From planning meals to shopping, preparing, cooking, eating and washing up, the whole process of cooking exercises numerous skills, both cognitive and physical.

Cooking helps to maintain a person's dignity, their physical dexterity, their cognitive abilities and of course their independence.

People at 80 have twice the number of cooking fires and those with physical or cognitive difficulties are at greater risk. But with Airis, these are no longer justifications to stop someone cooking.

Connecting to Telecare

Airis connects to any Telecare system via standard wireless devices such as those provided by Tynetec, Doro and Tunstall. The PCU (power control unit) has two no-volt outputs which are ideal for connection to any telecare wireless device. These outputs can be inverted if required.

Herts Careline is one of the Telecare organisations leading the way by keeping clients safe and independent with Airis. When compared to meal provision, an Airis installation is paid for within weeks, and the resident is kept happy and well.

By acting before a fire or significant smoke is produced, there are many ways in which Airis saves time and money, such as:

  • Eliminating false alarms caused by cooking, reducing workload at the call centre
  • Avoid or delay the need for full-time care or meal provision
  • Avoid repairs and insurance claims due to fire and/or smoke damage
  • Prevent water damage from sprinkler systems
  • Prevent fire service call-outs
  • Avoid temporary rehousing following a kitchen fire
My mum lives alone since my Dad passed away a couple of years ago and I was worried about her cooking… Now she wouldn't be without it as over Christmas the phone rang and she forgot she was cooking. She said when she went back to the kitchen, cooking had stopped as the food she was frying started to burn and the Airis cut the power.
