Using the very latest in radio frequency
technology, the SafeCall wireless nurse call system offers a simple
solution for providing nurse call services during refurbishment or
as a back-up when main systems fail or are being maintained.
Simple to install and use, the SafeCall
system consists of a nurse station unit and individual battery-operated
transmitters which rest in wall-mounted brackets. This offers total
flexibility as no structural change is necessary for installation.
The transmitters can also be moved around within each ward so they are
permanently within easy reach of patients; pear push or pull cord facilities
can also be incorporated. This means that patients have constant reassurance
that help is available.
The system provides three levels of call (call, assistance and emergency),
each with a distinctive bleep. The call is transmitted on radio frequency
to the control unit, where the location and priority of the call are displayed.
Calls are automatically upgraded to the next priority call level if unanswered
for over 2 minutes.
SafeCall is a self-monitoring system which will indicate a fault or low
battery.
The SafeCall system is extremely flexible.
The system can be linked to an on-site paging system for those members
of staff who are constantly on the move but need to be aware of calls
on the system. Door contacts, movement detectors, pressure mats,
bed weight sensors, telephone ring interface and door bell interface
can also be linked with the system.
SafeCall is also ideal for nursing homes, where it can be used as a stand-alone
system.
Tandem call system
SafeCall also offers a ‘tandem call’ system to enable easy
location of calls made by more mobile patients. Weighing just 85gms, the ‘tandem’ can
be easily worn
around the neck or on a belt and emits a signal at the
touch of a button. Signals are transmitted to the
nearest Nurse Call Transmitter, which then transmits to the control panel.
This enables the location of the wearer to be easily identified.
