Models of Nurse Call System:![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Working of NCS-Elite+Ordinarily a patient can initiate a call either by pressing a feather touch key on the calling unit or by pressing bed side switch. This action will make all three indicators viz.: the indicator on the calling unit, the door indicator (Red) and the window allocated for this calling unit on the Nurse Station LCD Monitor at the Nurse Station flash. Incidentally the voice “Attention Bed Call” keeps repeating itself.On pressing “Mute” button on the Nurse Call Processor at the Nurse Station or on pressing “Care” button on the Room Unit at the patient room, the voice gets muted and all the three indicators that where flashing earlier will become steady to indicate recognition of the call. Pressing “Care” button either directly or subsequent to the pressing of the “Mute” button at the Nurse Station will make nurse station LCD monitor display at the Nurse Station show the presence of the nurse at the room (Room Symbol with NURSING Status) and Door Indicator turn Green to show the patient is being taken care. Apart from this ordinary call there are two other important calls viz: toilet call, emergency call that can be initiated from a patient’s room. Once toilet call is initiated through the toilet calling unit, the same sequence of events is followed as that of an ordinary call with an exception that the nurse station LCD monitor display at the Nurse Station will show “Room Symbol with TLTCL / INST/ALRM Status” and the separate voice “Emergency Toilet Call / Attention Equipment Alarm” is triggered. It also has to be noted that the Door Indicator will be flashed faster with a different color. Basic Features:

Also essential are the modules which are specific to a particular kind of patient rooms and are listed under following headings:
Various modules associated are explained as follows:
Modules for Private rooms: In private rooms all the modules deployed are dedicated exclusively for only one patient. Hence, modules other than Bed Calling Unit need not be comprehensive. Hence our modules Composite Call Room Unit (CCRU), Door Indicator (DI), Toilet Calling Unit (TCU), Equipment Alarm Interface (EAI) are used. Modules for Deluxe rooms: Deluxe rooms generally are to be treated like a private room except an additional requirement to get help from a place other than Nurse Station like pantry. Hence the modules could either be same as that of Private rooms or Dual Call Room Unit (DCRU), Toilet Calling Unit (TCU), Door Indicator (DI), Equipment Alarm Interface (EAI). Modules for Semi-private rooms / General wards: Generally Semi-private rooms/ General wards vary from 2 beds to 4 beds where toilet is shared. Hence toilet is to be treated as an independent entity. The modules used for such rooms include MultiBed Calling Unit-0 (MBCU-0), MultiBed Calling Unit-R (MBCU-R), Shared Toilet Calling Unit (STCU), Composite DI and optional Bed Indicator. Composite Call Room Unit (CCRU)
CCRU is designed around a RISC based microcontroller to read the keys on it, to interface with all room modules
viz: TCU, DI, Optional EAI etc.., and to report their status to the Nurse Station Controller.

Multi Bed Calling Unit (MBCU-0/R)
MBCU-0 is designed around a RISC based microcontroller to be used for
shared rooms and general wards. An MBCU-0 can get grouped with up to 8 or 16 MBCU-R units to cater to as many beds depending on the proximity of
beds. Every MBCU-0/R provides for connecting BI, EAI. MBCU-0 can also get connected to an additional Composite DI.

Dual Call Room Unit (DCRU)
DCRU is primarily designed to be used in deluxe rooms and provides dual
call facility - Nurse Call and Other Service Call.Both the calls are segregated and
routed to separate central display units at the concerned departments i.e. Nurse Station or Service Station.

Modules / Specifications:The Elite+ model of nurse call system comprises of the following modules Nurse Call Processor
Designed around a system on chip processor to collect information from all the connected rooms,
send indicator information to all the rooms,show various room call status on LCD TV and annouce call status with high quality voice.
Provides for user interface through keypad to configure the system.

Multi Mode Display Processor is connected to NCS-Elite LAN network through Ethernet port.
The unit has an HDMI port to which a TV/Monitor can be connected. The serial port available on MMDP is used to interface with GSM Modem to send SMS.
The MMDP can operate in three different mode of operations. This mode of operation can be selected through menu command. In all the modes, provision is there to send SMS in case of long pending call condition.
The Multimode display processor allows for working in following 3 modes,
In Supervisory mode, the processor interact with all the enabled nurse call processors to learn about any abnormal events like long pending call, code blue alerts, toilet call etc., and notify on the LCD display connected along with aural alerts. In nurse station monitor mode, the processor display shows screen content of selected nurse stations one after another. In Sevice mode, the service calls of all the chosen nurse stations are shown on the LCD TV attached along with audio announcement. ![]() Specifications: Dimension :250W X 62H X 230D mm Power :230 V AC +/-10%,50 Hz, 50 watts Weight :3 Kg Mounting :Table Top Material :Powder Coated MS Enclosure NS - Extender-08/16
