The NC415AV Master Station is a two-way voice communication nurse call annunciator and control panel for the Tek-CARE®160 nurse call system. This system provides audible and visual call indication with intercom communications. With the NC415AV, residents can easily call for assistance using the nurse call buttons provided in their rooms or bathrooms.

With the NC404TS, staff can easily view all calls from the system or a custom subset of call types and stations or transmitters. The system automatically sorts calls by priority and duration, displaying the highest priority calls first.

The NC404TS also has a map view option that allows staff to view the location of each call on a floor plan or facility map, making it easy to respond to calls quickly and efficiently. Additionally, staff can use the touchscreen interface to place staff requests, staff calls, and update the status of calls.

What is the difference between the TEK-CARE 120 and 160 NURSE CALL SYSTEMS?

TekTone’s Tek-CARE120 and Tek-CARE160 are two popular options that you may be considering for your facility.  Let’s review the differences between these two nurse call systems to help you determine which one is right for your location.

For example, you can choose from a variety of patient and staff stations, bed and chair exit alarms, pull cord stations, and more. The system also supports wireless devices, so you can easily add additional devices as needed.
• Another benefit of the Tek-CARE160 is its sleek touchscreen master stations. These stations provide a modern and user-friendly interface for staff and residents/patients to interact with the system. They display call information, allow staff to communicate with residents/patients through the system, and provide customizable options for different levels of staff.
• Additionally, the Tek-CARE160 provides high-quality two-way voice communication, which allows staff to communicate with residents/patients from anywhere in the facility. This can be especially helpful in emergency situations, as it allows staff to quickly assess the situation and provide assistance.

The Tek-CARE120: Tone-Visual Nurse Call System:

• The Tek-CARE120 is an aesthetically pleasing and surprisingly affordable nurse call system that has been designed for easy installation and years of trouble-free operation. It is a tone-visual nurse call system that provides audio and visual call indication.
• One of the main benefits of the Tek-CARE120 is its affordability. It is a cost-effective solution for facilities that may not require the advanced features of the Tek-CARE160. Despite its affordability, the system is still reliable and easy to use.

Choosing which system is right for you will depend on your facility’s unique needs as both the Tek-CARE120 and Tek-CARE160 are “Best in Class” when it comes to ease of installation, simplicity, and flexibility.

If you require advanced features such as customizable peripheral devices, sleek touchscreen master stations, and high-quality two-way voice communication, the Tek-CARE160 may be the better option for you. However, if you are looking for an affordable and easy-to-use system with simple tone-visual call indication, the Tek-CARE120 may be the better choice.

Ultimately, both systems are designed to improve the safety and care of your residents/patients, and you can’t go wrong with either one.
