Nurse Call Stations are intended to meet patient call needs in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and outpatient facilities. The system can be hardwired, wireless, or a combination of the two. Typically, the patient activates the bedside pull call button that provides a distinctive signal letting the staff know the patient is in distress or requires assistance. Lastly, a special repeated tone signal reminds nurses that a call remains unanswered at the call station.
