Aidbell, a leading manufacturer of Wireless Nurse Call Systems in China, is dedicated to offering various nurse call solutions designed to enhance patient satisfaction during their times of illness. Today, let us take a closer look at wireless nurse call buttons to understand their benefits.

Aidbell nurse call buttons are developed in various types: bedside call button, nurse presence button, code blue button, pendant call button, emergency pull cords for bathrooms, caregiver call button, etc. Each model is designed to meet the specific needs of patients or caregivers. Understanding how to use different types of nurse call buttons empowers both patients and healthcare providers to communicate effectively and respond swiftly to emergencies or requests.

1. Patient Call Bell

Patient Call Bell PS-T601CX is the basic nurse call button equipped with CALL key and CANCEL key, and typically mounted on a wall near the patient’s bedside or within easy reach. When patients need the help of a nurse, they can simply press the CALL key for assistance and wait comfortably on the bed. This basic nurse call button also has diverse types, for example, with emergency pull cords, or with a patient’s handset. The emergency pull cord is widely used in the bathrooms or toilets for patients to pull to alert the nurses, even if they are lying on the floor. The patient call button with a handset is more popular to hold in hand to notify the nursing staff that they need aid.

2. Nurse Presence Button for Nurses

PS-T601NP Nurse presence call button is more and more popular in modern assisted living facilities. It is equipped with PRESENCE key and CANCEL key, and mounted on the the wall of a ward room for the caregivers or nurses to use. Sometimes, the patient’s condition is severe and needs more staff assistance. Therefore, the nurse presence button is designed to solve this problem. Nurses will press the Nurse Presence key to alert other nursing staff to get aid. With the installation of the nurse presence button, communication between staff becomes easier and helps to provide in-time support to patients who are in emergencies.

3. Code Blue Button for Top-level Emergency Calling

PS-T601CB Code Blue Button features a blue CODE key and CANCEL key on the nurse call panel, making it clear that the CODE key is intended for top-level emergency calling, and should be pressed by the nurses or caregivers. In an emergency or urgent situation, pressing this code blue button summons immediate aid from other nurses or doctors. Alerts are received on nurse pagers, nurse call lights, or wireless paging receivers at the nurse station, displaying patient room numbers with “CODE BLUE” words and flashing blue. This indication is distinct from other types of nurse call buttons. The common case is to install the code blue button in the ICU room.

What Happens When You Press The Different Types of Nurse Call Buttons?

Apart from the multi-choice of nurse call buttons, Aidbell also provides different types of wireless receivers for you to choose from. Here, we want to give you a brief introduction to 2 types of wireless nurse call receivers: nurse call light and nurse call display.

1. Nurse Call Light

Nurse call lights are commonly installed above doors or in corridors, offering an economical solution for hospitals. They provide clear indications through different colors to distinguish between various levels of patient needs.

When a patient presses the PS-T601CX patient call bell, the nurse call lights illuminate in red. This signals a normal level of patient demand, allowing nurses to prioritize and handle urgent matters first before attending to these routine needs.

In contrast, when nurses press the PS-T601NP nurse presence call button, the nurse call light will turn yellow. This indicates that additional staff members are required for immediate support. In response, other nurses are alerted to swiftly assist.

Additionally, when nurses press the PS-T601CB code blue button, the nurse call light flashes blue, which signifies a top-level emergency requiring prompt attention. Nurses respond immediately, rushing to provide aid without delay.

2. Nurse Call Display

A nurse call display is typically installed at each nurse station to receive signals from nurse call buttons. One significant feature of nurse call displays is their ability to show various call levels along with specific information.

For instance, if a patient uses the patient call bell in Bed 01, the nurse call display will indicate “BED 01 CALL” Similarly, pressing the nurse presence call button in Room 02 will display “ROOM 02 NURSE PRESENCE” on the nurse call display. In critical situations, such as pressing the code blue button in the ICU, the display will show “ICU CODE BLUE“.

This clear display of names and information makes it easy for nurses to identify the exact location and nature of each call at a glance. It streamlines response times and ensures that nurses can prioritize their actions effectively.

In summary, Aidbell offers both nurse call lights and nurse call displays, allowing you to choose based on your specific needs. Whether you require simple indications or detailed information, we are here to help you find the best solution for your project requirements.
