Considerations

Access
* Big Button has a transparent cap, with an opening to quickly slide in overlays, snaps onto it.
* The cap extends nearly to the table surface, giving the Big Button a large active area with an extremely low profile.
* You can communicate without lifting your hand off the table.

Communication
The Big Button has two modes: single message and tap-to-talk mode.
* In single message mode, you get one sounding message.
* In tap-to-talk mode, the user can choose one of up to three messages, controlled by the number of button taps (similar to single- or double-clicking a computer mouse). One button tap plays the first message, two taps play the second message, and three taps play the third.

TGA
Many of the items on the Assistive Technology Australia website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au

When buying a medical device it is advisable to only choose a medical device that is recommended by a healthcare professional and has been included on the ARTG.
