This honestly happens all the time, especially in the emergency department. It's nbd. Typically more funny than anything

Where I worked we had certain fire alarm pull stations that would get pulled by kids or idiots. So we put covers on them. when they pulled the cover off it would sound a loud alarm put the cover back on the alarm would stop. Saved a lot of false alarms to the fire dept.

An alarm for your alarm, smart I like it. Would have saved probably all the false calls from children at my place of work as well.

They work great. A kid pulls the alarm cover in makes a loud noise all they want is to get away from it because they know they screwed up.

Right on the cover it says remove cover to pull the alarm.

Ah yes, the same in France in my hospital emergency. I used it thinking it would open a door once. But I've seen it used multiple times for agressive patients and once for a heart failure.
