Real products, live prices, in stock now ## Key takeaways - Same scope for all - Maintenance included - Training and handover - Evaluation criteria ## The problem A tender that says only 'nurse call system' gets quotes that cannot be compared. A good tender lists beds, rooms, bathrooms, stations, lamps, displays, backup power, training, maintenance and response time. This guide gives you the list so every supplier quotes the same scope. **Same scope for all**: Lines that can be compared. **Maintenance included**: And response times. **Training and handover**: Written in. **Evaluation criteria**: Beyond the lowest bid. ## How a call travels How a call travels A patient or relative pressesAt the bed, chair or call point in a hospital tender The call is sentTo the station with the room attached Lamp and display show itOver the door and at the station A nurse answersBy voice or at the bed The call is clearedAnd the log shows when, if the system keeps one ## What to check before you buy | Check | Why it matters | | --- | --- | | Quantities | Beds, rooms, bathrooms, stations | | Technical requirements | Voice, logging, backup | | Support | Response time | | Evaluation | How you will compare | | Backup power | Controller, switches and station keep working when the mains fails | | Weekly test | Press every point and keep a log | ## How we set it up 1. **Walk a hospital tender**: We note every bed, room, bathroom, door and the station. 2. **Match the parts**: Buttons, call points, lamps, station and display to the plan. 3. **Cable and power**: Network cable and backup power to every position. 4. **Fit and pair**: Every button paired to the right room. 5. **Test and train**: We press every point and train each shift. ## What we supply We design, supply and install nurse call systems for wards, clinics and care homes, on IP and SIP networks. Fanvil's IP nurse call range is one option we quote, alongside others, and we recommend whichever fits your ward. Send us the room count and we reply with a written quote. ## How to put it to the hospital Start with the problem in a hospital tender that the people you are speaking to already know, then show the lamp over the door and the message at the station. Quote the buttons, call points, lamps and station for a hospital tender, and say clearly that the system supports staff and does not replace rounds. **Tip**: Installers and resellers: ask for a trade quote and we deliver the whole list to your site in one trip. ## Get a free survey and quote **When to call a professional**: Tell us about your hospital: how many beds, rooms and bathrooms, and where the nurses' station is.
