No, your emergency contacts do not need to download the app to receive emergency alerts.

You simply need to add their cell phone numbers as emergency contacts within the app. When you trigger your device, your emergency contacts will receive phone calls and text messages from a Swedish phone number.

We recommend that you ask your emergency contacts to add the Plegium phone number to their contact list for easy identification. Phone calls will come from +46 8 446 820 20.

The Plegium self-defense sprays features a "stream" spray pattern, which has a good balance between range (reaching up to 15 feet) and accuracy (compared to a cone spray pattern), with low risk of blow-back compared to a gel spray pattern.

Each spray contains 13 ml of menthol spray liquid, which allows for up to 20-30 quick bursts or around 10-15 seconds of continuous spraying. However, for safety reasons, we recommend replacing your spray after use to ensure that you have a full spray available in case of an emergency.

Note that each Plegium defense spray comes with a unique guarantee: if you use your Plegium spray in an assault situation and provide us with a copy of the police report, we will send you a new device for free.

Plegium Premium includes a 24/7 professional monitoring service that is activated when you trigger your device. When you activate your device, the Plegium app immediately connects to a call center, which then notifies first responders about your situation and location.

This service is included in your Plegium Premium subscription and there is no additional cost for this feature. First responders will then take immediate action to ensure your safety.
