Staff/duty stations
Telligence Patient-Staff Communication System Operation Manual 95
• A slow flashing green Status light indicates the staff/duty
station is in privacy mode.
Because the Status light indicates a number of conditions, the light
has assigned priorities for indicating these conditions:
• An alarm condition is signaled before any other condition.
• Staff follow indication is given the next highest priority.
• Privacy mode indication is given the next priority.
• An ongoing audio connection has the next priority in light
indication.
• Finally, if no other condition exists, registered presence is
indicated.
Staff/Duty station tone alerts
Smart Staff/Duty Stations, like all audible devices in the Telligence
system, sound the same note but vary the pattern — from a rapidly
repeating tone, through a slowly repeating tone, to a continuous
tone — for the various call priorities and other factors in the system.
• Pre-alert: The staff/duty station beeps once when an initial call
or a call answering a nurse call is received from a staff member
at a staff console or annunciator.
• Call assurance: The call assurance tone (8 short beeps, lasting 2
seconds) sounds at the staff/duty station when a call is placed
from the station or from an associated non-audio station.
• Lavatory: When an emergency call has been made from a
lavatory station associated with a staff/duty station, the in-
room lavatory emergency tone (slow beeping) sounds at the
staff/duty station when presence is registered for the room.
• Staff follow: For Smart Staff/Duty Stations that have been
placed in duty mode, staff follow tones sound when a staff
member registers presence.
Notes
• The staff follow tone pattern that sounds is for the highest
priority nurse call in the duty area or nursing unit at present —
with one exception: an in-room lavatory emergency tone will
sound instead of any other nurse call.
• The staff/duty station also sounds one or more feedback tones
when its Cancel button is held down for two or more seconds.
Placing a call from a smart staff/duty station
Nurse calls of a variety of priorities can be made from the Telligence
staff/duty station.
