Hospital Wireless Nurse Call

YKHC Medical Center in Bethel, AK, provides comprehensive health care services for 58 rural communities in southwest Alaska. Brett Frasier, from the hospital maintenance department, contacted Visiplex looking for a simple visual alert solution to improve patient-to-caregiver communication within the Radiology department. The primary needs were; reliability, cost efficiency, battery-operated call devices, and easy installation.

Visiplex’s solution to YKHC’s requirements consisted of a VS4810 wireless paging base station for the main office, five CT-155 wireless pull-cord stations, five CT-157 wireless Pull Stations for the restrooms, and ten VNS2710 wireless Corridor Dome Lights for room identification.

The system VS4810 base station is designed to receive all calls from the pull stations. It sends a radio signal to activate the appropriate corridor dome light, all while maintaining a log of activities.

The proposed system is fully wireless, eliminating the need for costly wiring between different facility areas and requiring only an AC outlet for each controller.
