Access to Call Systems
Many Hospital call systems cannot be managed by people with disabilities. Technical Solutions can add alternative access methods to existing call buttons, or fit sensitive electronic replacements.
Technical Solutions offer a range of Hospital Call Interface Adaptors that allow any of our light pressure switches to be used with most hospital and nursing home call systems. If your patient can't use the standard call pendant we can, in most cases, help.
Getting the best equipment to suit your needs requires a two stage process:
- Getting the right Interface to connect to your system. There are many different call pendants with various types of plug to connect to the call system. We describe some of them below. please contact us for advice.
- Ascertain which switch is most suitable. The Jellybean is our most versatile switch and there are many others to suit various abilities. Seeking the advice of an Occupational Therapist is usually advisable.
