SECTION 16725N
NURSE CALL SYSTEM

**************************************************************************
NOTE: This guide specification covers the
requirements for nurse call systems in medical
treatment facilities.
Comments and suggestions on this guide specification
are welcome and should be directed to the technical
proponent of the specification. A listing of
technical proponents, including their organization
designation and telephone number, is on the Internet.
Recommended changes to a UFGS should be submitted as
a Criteria Change Request (CCR).
Use of electronic communication is encouraged.
Brackets are used in the text to indicate designer
choices or locations where text must be supplied by
the designer.
**************************************************************************
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The facility communications requirements will
dictate the type system to be installed and the
location of nurse call equipment. The designer
should review the applicable standards, and develop
a good understanding of the different systems
available, and their limitations. In developing the
project specification, bear two thoughts in mind:
keep it simple; keep it generic. Where services are
specified "as indicated," coordinate with the
drawings. In development of the drawings, use the
same nomenclature for an item of equipment as it
appears in the specification. Electrical service to
the nurse call system is required to be connected to
the emergency power system. Verify environmental
and servicing requirements for system components.
