Nurse Call Systems

Home » Products » Nurse Call Systems

TekTone has UL® Listed nurse call systems to meet the needs of hospitals, nursing homes and assisted-living facilities. Also known as call bell or call light systems, nurse call systems are the communication link between residents or patients and caregivers.

The Tek-CARE570 system is a versatile wireless nurse/emergency call system that offers a wide range of device options to suit the needs of many types of care facilities. Available devices include emergency call switches, pendant transmitters, door alarms, universal transmitter, and much more. The Tek-CARE570 can be used as a standalone wireless call system using the NC475DESK Tek-CARE Appliance Server as the master station, or it may be connected as a part of a larger TekTone nurse call system using the Tek-CARE Network.

The  Tek-CARE400 GEN3  TekTone’s newest high-end nurse call system. This system has completely redesigned Patient Stations with a revamped appearance and a brand-new snap on mounting design, ensuring a clean look. The Tek-CARE400 GEN3 customizability creates a user friendly system for both staff and patients.

The Tek-CARE400 P5+ is TekTone’s most flexible nurse call system, featuring full-duplex, 2-way audio, multicolor dome lights, customizable station buttons and a host of integration options. The Tek-CARE400 P5+ utilizes simple CAT5 wiring and provides users with the ability to create the system that works best for their facility.

The Tek-CARE160 Two-Way Communication Nurse Call System is a modern and affordable nurse call system that is easy to install, use, and maintain. Featuring customizable peripheral devices, sleek, touchscreen master stations and high-quality two-way voice communication, the Tek-CARE160 is designed to meet the needs of facilities across the entire healthcare spectrum.

We manufacture a wide range of nurse call systems. The surprisingly affordable tone-visual Tek-CARE120 has a compact touchscreen master station that can be wall- or desk-mounted, pleasant call tones, and attractive stations.

LEGACY

Our most basic direct-select system is the Tek-CARE NC110. This system uses three levels of tones and lights (routine, emergency, and code/fire) to notify staff at the nurse master station, and at dome lights outside of each resident or patient room. Our Tek-CARE NC150 audio-visual system adds two-way voice communication between resident/patient rooms and the nurse call master.

Our mid-range audio/visual system, the Tek-CARE300III, adds many advanced features, such as a master station with color LCD display, continuous display of nurse/aide location, master-to-master intercom, stat calls, and calls displayed in order of priority and origination time. As a result of changing market conditions, advancements in other products within the Tek-CARE Platform, no new Tek-CARE300II/300III systems will be quoted. 

UL® 2560 LISTED WIRELESS NURSE CALL SYSTEMS

The Tek-CARE500 is a highly configurable UL® 2560 Listed wireless nurse call system. Portable pendants allow residents of assisted living facilities to roam throughout the campus knowing that help is always just a button press away. Wireless call transmitters include emergency and check-in switches, smoke detectors, door and window monitors, and motion detectors.

Our Tek-CARE Event Monitoring and Reporting Software can be added to any TekTone healthcare system. It displays calls from all connected systems, and provides detailed reports on all system activity. TekTone also has a full line of radio pocket paging equipment for use with all of these systems.

A family-owned business committed to providing quality intercommunication solutions at competitive prices, supported by conscientious customer service, for the Health CareResidential, and Commercial markets.

Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) are health care facilities that offer patients the convenience of having surgeries and procedures performed safely outside the hospital setting. This trend in healthcare is a growing new market and TekTone has designed our systems to offer valuable nurse and emergency call capabilities to ASC patients.

ASC

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC), also known as Life Plan Communities, are designed for seniors who are currently living independently, but want the safety and security of being cared for as they age without having to relocate. As a resident’s health declines, he or she may transition from an independent living residence to assisted living, to an intermediate or skilled nursing facility—all on one campus. TekTone offers systems specialized in adapting to the changing needs of CCRCs, while keeping resident’s safety and security a top priority.

CCRC

A skilled nursing facility (nursing home, convalescent home, care home or rest home) provides a place of residence for those who require continuous nursing attention. Services available in skilled nursing facilities include assistance of nurses, nursing aides and assistants; physical, occupational and speech therapists; social workers, recreational assistants; and living space. In some instances, residents may reside in skilled nursing facilities to receive rehabilitation or other therapy following an illness or accident.

SKILLED NURSING

Assisted living / independent living facilities usually have a campus-wide call system so a resident can notify caregivers by initiating a call from a personal pendant or emergency button press/pull. The systems specified for these types of facilities are usually referred to as emergency call systems or personal emergency response systems. Call system requirements in assisted/independent living vary, but may be mandatory in some states. Assisted living facilities may prefer a combination of Tek-CARE wireless and wired technology, with pull-cord stations, call buttons and wireless pendants to ensure staff members are notified efficiently and quickly.

ASSISTED LIVING

Nurse call systems for hospitals, microhospitals and cancer centers must offer more than the ability for a patient to call for a nurse. These systems are now about total solutions to improving facility performance. Performance is identified as improving efficiency in terms of facility goals (rounding, reducing time to answer calls, tracking staff performance using metrics), improving staff satisfaction, and improving patient satisfaction.

HOSPITAL INFO

Nurse call systems in high security facilities, such as psychiatric and behavioral health facilities, require the implementation of advanced features to protect against vandalism and to provide accurate monitoring and reporting options.
