NURSE CALL SYSTEMS

The PICnet system, in addition to significantly improving the organizational conditions in hospitals, private clinics and retirement homes, increases the level of service and safety for patients and optimizes the efficiency and effectiveness of the personnel who work in the structure.

THE SYSTEM STRUCTURE

The PICnet system, in addition to significantly improving the organizational conditions in hospitals, private clinics and retirement homes, increases the level of service and safety for patients and optimizes the efficiency and effectiveness of the personnel who work in the structure.

All the information (for example, type of call, room number, bed number, event memory, etc.) and anomalies are detected, checked and displayed by the system, simplifying not only the activity of the user, but also of the technical personnel who install the system and who will have to carry out any type of maintenance (for example in case of expansion of the system).

The system consists of the PN MAS, central management unit, located in the nursing staff room, which manages the calls and alarms that arrive from the various rooms through the BUS cable and the PN RSA room control units, distributed on the field. There are also peripheral modules dedicated to specific operational functions, such as the PN TOUCH control touch screen or PN VIS displays.

THE MANAGEMENT OF THE ROOM

In each room there is a PN RSA control unit that manages the entire room. In the event of an alarm call from a patient, the corresponding room light signal will be activated and an alarm message will be displayed at the nurse control room and on the floor displays. The staff in charge will notify the patient that the alarm has been received by turning on the reassurance light in the room and will go to the calling room for the intervention.

Once in the room, the operator can reset the alarm using the appropriate button and in case of prolonged stay in the room he can activate the call transfer. With this functionality in the event of an alarm coming from another room, the call will activate the acoustic signal directly inside the room, with indication of the origin of the alarm.

The call transfer is activated by pressing a specific button or by prolonged pressing of the reset button and switches on the green light outside the door (to signal the presence of staff in the room) and the reassurance light as a reminder for the nurse. A further prolonged pressure of the call transfer command terminates the function (with call reset also from the monitoring point). Similarly to the functioning of patient rooms, alarm management is carried out in the independent assisted bathrooms.

When the emergency call is made, the light signal is activated and a specific message is sent to the floor display and to the control room. The staff in charge will notify the patient that the alarm has been received by turning on the reassurance light in the bathroom.

THE ROOM PANEL

The PN RSA module is the room controller dedicated to call systems for patient of hospitals, clinics and nursing homes. Installed in the rooms, it allows the management of nurse calls, the management of the external specula, the reset of alarms, the doctor call and the transfer of the call with indication of the calling room number.

The module has an antibacterial glass panel for installation in healthcare environments. The buttons have a backlight to improve their visibility. Moreover, in the default configuration, the four buttons can be used to activate the functions:

Nurse presence and call transfer activation

Additional nurse call

Doctor priority call

Call reset

It is possible to change the graphics of the icons and the functions attributed to the keys according to the requests and needs of the structure.

THE SYSTEM STRUCTURE

The PICnet system includes in each corridor of one or more PN VIS display modules that signals only the alarms relating to the floor, while the central management unit and the central monitoring point display all active alarms.

In the case of an alarm, the buzzer on board the display modules is activated and any further optical / acoustic signals are activated. In compliance with the reference standards, it is possible to differentiate the type of acoustic signal based on the type of alarm (eg short and frequent sound for urgent alarms, long sound for standard calls, etc.). The date and time of activation and reset of each alarm are stored in the static memory so that the event can be checked in a deferred time. In the event of several pending alarms, they can be displayed cyclically at a predetermined frequency or on command. It is also possible to manually or automatically transfer all calls to central monitoring points at night when there are fewer staff on the floors.

It is also possible to install a PN TOUCH touch screen or other control device for managing the operations of:

  • Taking charge of the call (with relative silence of the floor buzzers for a definable time)
  • Reset of the "Call forwarding" mode that has remained active
  • Set and Reset of the "Transfer night alarms" mode

Luminous gems can also be provided to signal the active “Call Transfer” mode e “Night alarm transfer” active.

Thanks to the Sinthesi PN LINK PRO software, it is possible to manage all alarm notifications and supervise the situation of the rooms of the entire system, also through graphic maps of the structure, from one or more PC workstations and even remotely.

Alarms can also be propagated to pagers via telephone switchboards with ESPA444 protocol, thanks to the PN COM module, or to one or more mobile phone numbers via SMS messages, even with variable texts, thanks to the PN GSM module.
