Real products, live prices, in stock now ## Key takeaways - Within reach from the floor - Built for wet rooms - Wired or wireless - The same call, the same lamp ## The problem on the ward The bedside button works as long as the patient is in bed. The bathroom is a different story: a patient who is unsteady, in a wet room, with a door closed, may be too far from the button to reach it. If something goes wrong there, nobody is likely to be walking past. A call point in the toilet and the shower, within reach of someone sitting or on the floor, is the part of the system that matters most. **Within reach from the floor**: A cord that hangs low enough to be found. **Built for wet rooms**: Choose wet-area rated cords and buttons. **Wired or wireless**: A pull cord on a wall or a wireless cord, to suit the room. **The same call, the same lamp**: A bathroom call lights the same door lamp and shows the room. ## How a call travels through the ward How a call travels through the ward Patient needs help in the bathroomPulls the cord or presses the wet-area button Call is sentWired or wireless to the station Lamp over the room doorShows which room called Station names the roomWith the bathroom marked Nurse attendsStraight to the bathroom ## What to check before you buy | Check | Why it matters | | --- | --- | | Placement | Reachable from the toilet and from the floor | | Wet-area rating | Ask for the rating and check it suits the shower | | Cord length | Long enough to reach, short enough not to tangle | | Wired or wireless | Walls and interference decide; test each room | | Cleaning | Wipeable and agreed with infection control | | Testing | Press every cord on a schedule and log it | ## How we set it up 1. **Walk the bathrooms**: Toilet, shower and any wet room. 2. **Choose the call point**: Pull cord or wet-area button for each spot. 3. **Fit at the right height**: Reachable from sitting and from the floor. 4. **Pair or wire it**: To the right room. 5. **Test from where a patient would be**: Seated and on the floor. ## What we supply We design, supply and install nurse call systems for wards, clinics and care homes, on IP and SIP networks. Fanvil's IP nurse call range is one option we quote, alongside others, and we recommend whichever fits your ward. Send us the room count and we reply with a written quote. ## How to put it to the hospital or care home Pitch to the matron: this is the call point families ask about, and the one a board is hardest on if something goes wrong. Quote a call point in every bathroom and shower, wet-area rated, and offer a test of every cord at handover. **Tip**: Installers and resellers: ask for a trade quote and we deliver the whole list to your site in one trip. ## Get a free survey and quote **When to call a professional**: Tell us about your ward or care home: how many beds, rooms and bathrooms, and where the nurses' station is. We will quote the full nurse call setup, supplied, delivered and installed if you want it.

Every bathroom and shower a patient can use alone should have a call point. Wired or wireless? Either can work. We test the room before choosing. Is it waterproof? Ask for the wet-area rating and we match it to the shower. How often do we test? Weekly, with a log. ## Why customers choose Qyvea **Genuine brands**: Manufacturer warranty on what we sell, so you are not gambling on the box. **One team, start to finish**: The people who advise you also install and support it. **Fast answers**: WhatsApp replies usually within 30 minutes, and delivery within 24 hours in Nairobi. **Easy to buy**: Pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card.
