There is always someone looking for an alarm and I think there are other posts here about that if you want to do a search.  I don't know how accurate they are...  Some people feel that using a pulse ox is better and more accurate.  Sometimes the docs will write scripts for them so that it can go through the insurance.  Some other things people do is tie a bell to the bed or under the bed...  wish I could be of more help, but maybe someone else will know...
