Real products, live prices, in stock now ## Key takeaways - Conduit in the walls - Stations in the right place - Room for growth - One plan, one handover ## The problem At design stage the cabling, back-boxes and stations can be placed exactly where they are needed. After the walls are painted every change is a repair. Designing the call system in with the architects means fewer compromises: stations in the right place, conduit in the walls and room for growth. **Conduit in the walls**: Cabling planned before finishing. **Stations in the right place**: Sight lines for nurses. **Room for growth**: Spare capacity for the next wing. **One plan, one handover**: Coordinated with other systems. ## How a call travels How a call travels A patient or relative pressesAt the bed, chair or call point in a new hospital The call is sentTo the station with the room attached Lamp and display show itOver the door and at the station A nurse answersBy voice or at the bed The call is clearedAnd the log shows when, if the system keeps one ## What to check before you buy | Check | Why it matters | | --- | --- | | Early involvement | Bring us in at design stage | | Back-boxes and conduit | Placed with the electrician | | Spare capacity | Plan for expansion | | Coordination | With security, fire and network teams | | Backup power | Controller, switches and station keep working when the mains fails | | Weekly test | Press every point and keep a log | ## How we set it up 1. **Walk a new hospital**: We note every bed, room, bathroom, door and the station. 2. **Match the parts**: Buttons, call points, lamps, station and display to the plan. 3. **Cable and power**: Network cable and backup power to every position. 4. **Fit and pair**: Every button paired to the right room. 5. **Test and train**: We press every point and train each shift. ## 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 Start with the problem in a new hospital that the people you are speaking to already know, then show the lamp over the door and the message at the station. Quote the buttons, call points, lamps and station for a new hospital, and say clearly that the system supports staff and does not replace rounds. **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 hospital: 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.
