The Tek-CARE160 Two-Way Audio 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.

The NC415G3 master station includes the Tek-CARE user interface on a compact LCD touchscreen, as well as an optional audio handset and cradle for placement. With the handset, staff can communicate loudly and clearly with residents between patient rooms and the nurses station without the interference of background noise. Optionally, staff members can utilize the push-to-talk button on the master. The master station maintains a small footprint to easily rest on a desk or can be wall-mounted.

The NC404TS master station features the same Tek-CARE user interface, along with a touchscreen will full touch capabilities. This master includes options for Icon View and Map View in addition to classic List View. With Map View, facilities can view call locations on a facility map to more easily identify calls. The NC404TS also features a handset for discreet conversations between the nurses station and resident rooms.

The NC403TS Tek-CARE Monitor is a new 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 feature energy-efficient LED dome lights, and include connection points for up to six stations. Available in either red and white or blue and white options.

Patient stations are easy to clean and can be simply combined with a speaker to enable two-way voice communication. The stations are available in single or dual versions, utilizing a one-quarter-inch jack receptacle for call cord insert. The speaker stations feature an assurance LED beneath the surface that illuminates when an audio path is open, ensuring resident privacy and safety.

Two-button customizable stations are designed with optional pull cord and include inserts for emergency, code, or bath call stations — or create custom inserts for call types unique to each facility. These stations can be used in one- or two-gang housings. In the two-gang housing, stations can be combined with other two-button stations, patient stations or even a speaker station to provide audio communication with custom calls. Optional water-resistant gasket 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-CARE160 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 monitors, email output, Tek-CARE TV, and Tek-CARE Staff App for iOS and Android.

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-CARE160 allows for an easy upgrade path from legacy nurse call systems. Existing wiring can be re-used for installation, saving on costs and labor.

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.
