Fire Safety for Assisted Living
Enable residents in assisted living and extra care accommodation to cook for themselves thanks to superior fire safety provided by Airis. Vulnerable people can be protected from the dangers of fire and smoke inhalation without having their independence taken away.
Airis Prevents Fires Intelligently
Airis uses a unique patented temperature measurement technique to accurately measure the temperature of pans on a hob.
Measuring the temperature of the pan is difficult because different materials radiate differently. In fact, when a simple infrared thermometer is used, a stainless steel pan at 100C might be read as 50C. Airis is the only device that overcomes this problem.
Fire and smoke safety for vulnerable residents
Airis provides fire safety and peace of mind in accommodation for vulnerable people. This can include permanent as well as temporary accommodation – in rehabilitation, for example. It’s important for people to be able to cook for themselves to maintain their independence and sense of dignity.
In Extra Care and Assisted Living accommodation, Airis provides the highest level of fire safety, enabling people to cook safely for themselves without any intervention. But if the kitchen user does make a mistake, such as forgetting that they have a frying pan on the hob, Airis will intervene to prevent fire and smoke.
Airis provides peace of mind for all residents and care personnel.
