NETWORK 2 NURSE CALL SYSTEMEven at its most basic the Network 2 Nurse Call System is still a very sophisticated system. It is however, very simple for patients and staff to use. Patients call for staff using large, easily identifiable orange call buttons. when a call has been made, a slow tone sounds at each display and the origin of the call is shown. The exact location of the call is displayed, i.e. 1st FIRST FLOOR LOUNGE, DISABLED TOILET or BEDROOM 15 etc.
What is Network 2?The network 2 system is, as the name applies, an electronic network that involves data transmission and reception. In this particular configuration it has been designed to fulfil the requirements of a very high specification Nurse Call System. Calls from patients or staff are identified by the Hub and translated into a full text signal that it then transmitted via the same two wires to the display units. The hub can also relay the text messages into an optional alphanumeric radio pager to send messages to pocket pagers. The message, which each call point generates, can be changed by staff if required. Patients names can be added to their room numbers for example. Staff can use the units to generate an "assistance" call, this is easily identified by staff as it has a different pulsed tone. they can also generate "crash" call when extremely urgent help is required. Any text can be displayed as long it is only up to 20 digits. These messages can be programmed by the installation engineers and left forever, or they can be changed with a "programming unit". This facility enables staff to key in patients names so that temporary staff know they are dealing with, not just their room number. The Network 2 system has been installed to great acclaim in many establishments throughout Britain and it has proved to be a very reliable and stable system requiring little or no maintenance.
