Using patient call devices

62
Patients place nurse call requests by pressing buttons located on
smart pillow speakers, electronic bed control panels, or call cords
(certain call cords have squeeze pad actuators instead of buttons).
All of these buttons and actuators are physically connected to the
patient station in the patient room. Patients can hear responses
from staff members in their smart pillow speakers, but all other
nurse call communications, including all patient communications to
staff and staff member responses to calls placed by call cord or
electronic bed nurse call button, use the speakerphone on the
patient station.
The sections that follow describe Telligence System smart pillow
speakers and call cords, and patient communications using smart
pillow speakers, call cords and electronic bed panels.

Pillow speakers

Connector
The smart pillow speaker's DuraPin connector plugs into a
receptacle on the patient station front panel. The speaker
provides audio for nurse call responses to patient calls as well
as audio from entertainment sources. (The microphone on the
patient station picks up patient communications to the nurses'
station.)
