Telligence Patient-Staff Communication System Operation Manual
Overview of the ColorTouch Staff Console and Annunciator
Staff consoles and annunciators display only the types of calls (call
priorities) that have been assigned to them. By default, they display
the nurse call types, shown in Table 3, below. Both sound and color
are used to show the priority of each call. The table indicates the
color of the nurse call row, how fast an alert tone may sound at the
staff console or annunciator, and whether a nurse call is
automatically put on reminder or cleared when a staff member
answers it.
Notes
• By default, emergency annunciators show nurse calls for
extreme emergencies only.
• Call priority labels are configurable. The labels used for call
priorities on your system may differ from those shown here.
• Housekeeping calls are not typically displayed at the staff
console. The system can be configured to display these calls,
however.
