uild-up and description
All PAN data is transmitted to an inter-
com exchange.
The exchange is configured by a mainte-
nance PC to handle the data thereafter
given as alphanumeric information on a
display station (nurse desk) and/or in
radio-paging receivers as a bleep pattern
and numeric terminal number (ward,
room and bed).
One or more Nurse desks or PC terminals
are normally connected for use at central
points like head nurse, staff room, etc.
These stations will, in addition to operat-
ing as normal intercom stations for com-
munication, display all calls and call status.
PC programs such as System maintenance
program for Windows for setting and
changing system parameters, Nurse call
program for administration of patient-to-
staff communication, nurse interface to
paging or statistical program for logging,
are available.
This means that one or more PCs are
normally connected for maintenance and
administration purposes.
As part of the comfort-for-the-patients
concept, up to 10 entertainment pro-
grammes can be selected by the patient
from the remote control connected to each
bed station.
The sources for these programmes are con-
nected to the intercom exchange for distri-
bution to the entire system.
A Philips DP 6000 Paging system will, in
general, be connected to the Nurse call
system.
The paging system consists of a transmitter
and several receivers, normally with a
numeric display and audio indication sepa-
rating different call types.
When a patient, assistance or alarm call is
initiated the display will show the ward,
room and bed number and the tone will
indicate the type of call.
The nurse can go to the nearest intercom
station, key the displayed digits as shown
on the paging receiver and get in immedi-
ate contact with the patient calling.
The paging system is connected to the
nurse call system via a PC running the
nurse call program.
