Nurse call

Issue 1 (07/2012) - 4


Our nurse call solution forms the basis of theFusion-IP system - with ‘patient-to-staff’ and‘staff-to-staff’ communication as the primaryfunction.

A patient requiring assistance presses the callbutton on the patient hand unit. This causes areassurance LED on the hand unit to illuminatealong with the staff reset push button on thebedhead unit.

Simultaneously, the call is raised on staffindicators, amber coloured over door lightsilluminate and nearby tone units sound toassist staff quickly and efficiently to the waitingpatient.

On attending the patient, staff reset the call bypressing the reset button on the bedhead unitand the system returns to its quiescent state.

If staff require further assistance an‘emergency’ call - often referred to as a ‘staffassistance’ call can be raised by pulling thered emergency pull on the patient bedheadunit.A well designed nurse call system, complying with HTM 08-03:

Bedhead Services, provides reassurance to patients and canimprove nursing efficiency. Fusion-IP is one of the mostadvanced nurse call systems available, provided by the leadingspecialist in nurse call communication.

Simultaneously, the real time location of staffis shown on staff indicators and logged by thesystem.

The green over door light automatically returnsto its quiescent state as the member of staffleaves the room.

As a further benefit of nurse presence, if staffpress the call button on the bedhead when‘presence’ is registered, an intermediate ‘staffassistance’ call is activated and an ‘amberover door light illuminates alongside the greenover door light to notify other members of staff

Staff presence is provided as an aid to improved efficiency. Ithelps staff locate other members of their team, reduces thedistance staff need to travel in order to fulfill their duties andcan also improve patient dignity and assist in work-flowanalysis.� Uses ultrasound technology for unrivalled accuracy and

reliable reporting.

� The location of staff is monitored in real time with over doorlights updating automatically to indicate staff presence withina room.

� ‘Addressable’ staff transmitters for named identification ofpersonnel.

� The system automatically recognises when a call is beingraised by staff and upgrades the alert to a ‘staff assistance’call.
