These nurse call systems are designed to provide reliable and effective communication between residents and staff, ensuring that help is always just a button press away.

Overview of NC415AV Master Station and NC404TS 22” Touchscreen Master

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. When a call is placed, the master station alerts the staff via an audible tone and visual display, indicating the resident’s location. Staff can then respond quickly and provide the necessary assistance.

One of the advantages of the NC415AV is that it is an affordable nurse call system that is easy to install and operate. The system uses simple CAT 5e or better wiring, and the modular jack can be used to connect a multicolor corridor light.

The NC404TS, on the other hand, is a full-featured touchscreen master station designed for use on the Tek-CARE system. This master station provides UL-approved call annunciation, audio connection, and interaction with the Tek-CARE system. 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.

The NC404TS is designed to be responsive and intuitive, with an easy-to-use interface that allows staff to quickly and easily respond to calls. The system is also designed to be trouble-free, with quality electronic components that ensure reliable operation.

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.

It is designed for easy installation and years of trouble-free operation, making it a great option for facilities that may not have a dedicated IT staff.

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.
