The Tek-CARE120 Tone-Visual Nurse Call System is an aesthetically pleasing and surprisingly affordable nurse call system designed for easy installation and years of trouble-free operation in a variety of healthcare facilities, such as skilled nursing, senior living, assisted/independent living, urgent care, clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers.

The compact master stations can be either wall-mounted or desk-mounted. The LCD touchscreen lists patient calls by priority in a pleasing display, and calls are annunciated via pleasant call tones to reduce institutional noise. A dome light may be connected directly to the master station to indicate the highest-priority call originating in the master’s zones.

The NC403TS Tek-CARE Monitor is a product designed to simplify viewing calls on the Tek-CARE Network. The NC403TS annunciates call activity on a sleek touchscreen monitor while utilizing the familiar Tek-CARE user interface. The unobtrusive monitor can be placed anywhere throughout the facility.

Room controllers are available both with and without energy-efficient LED dome lights, and include connection points for up to six stations.

Stations are sleek, attractive, and cleanable. They may be installed individually, or install two stations together in a dual-gang bezel. Patient stations accommodate one or two call cords, and include an illuminated reset button.

Two-button pull-cord stations include inserts for use as emergency, code call, or bath stations – or create custom inserts. Buttons are backlit to ensure visibility in low light, and the washable pull cord can be left off. Optional water-resistant seals allow the stations to be used in showers, baths, or tub rooms.

Duty stations annunciate calls in staff areas using 4 LEDs and a tone speaker. As an alternative, use additional wall-mounted master stations to provide room-specific information at multiple locations.

Add the Tek-CARE Appliance Server to easily integrate the Tek-CARE120 system with other nurse call systems, as well as a wide variety of building systems, such as fire alarm, security, and access control systems. The Tek-CARE Appliance Server supports many optional features, including pocket paging, reporting, remote event monitoring, email output, Tek-CARE Staff App for iOS devices (iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TVs) as well as Android devices.

Apple TVs with HDTVs display calls in a large format that’s visible from a distance. Our Tek-CARE Staff App enables iOS and Android devices (plus any paired smartwatches) to display calls on the go, with selectable tone, vibrate, or flash notifications. Each device displays all calls in its assigned zones from all connected systems at once. The Tek-CARE Appliance Server sends events to these devices via the facility’s WiFi.

The Tek-CARE120 provides an easy upgrade path for many legacy nurse call systems. Room controllers connect via a 2-wire bus, often allowing reuse of existing wire. With the smaller, flexible touchscreen master and versatile wall stations, upgrading to the Tek-CARE120 provides facilities with a modern and discreet system.

The Tek-CARE120 nurse call system is UL®1069 and UL®2560 Listed, cUL® Listed to CSA C22.2 No. 205, and RoHS Compliant.

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.
