Call cord stations

The call cord on the HC-CCSTN call cord station provides patients
with a simple means of placing a nurse call. Depending on station
configuration, pressing the button at the end of the station's call
cord places a nurse call with a priority of either patient normal,
patient priority, or patient emergency.
Figure 31: Call cord station
A call cord station may be associated with other stations; or it may
be a standalone station with its own identifiable location (for
instance, as the sole station in an exam room). Call cord stations
have no audio capability and cannot be used to communicate with
staff members at staff consoles or annunciators.
