Flexible, cost-effective, and reliable

Multitone Electronics says its new EkoCare range offers ‘the ultimate in flexible, reliable, and cost-effective wireless nurse call and alarms’.

Husam Al-karnaz, solutions architect, said: “The range encompasses nurse call and patient alarm units, which can be wallmounted or hand-held, or operated via a pull-cord, along with staff units with alarm and assist options. Wireless repeater units mean quick, easy, and low-cost installation and maintenance. All the portable devices are powered by rechargeable batteries, and are IP67-compliant. Traditional alarm systems offer either static buttons, which hinder user mobility, or mobile alarms that do not pinpoint patient location, and often require extensive mains rewiring. Our solution typically costs under half the price.” 

EkoCare utilises Multitone’s dedicated radio platform, ‘for enhanced reliability and accuracy over infra-red or Wi-Fi location solutions’. On alarm activation, a message is transmitted across the ‘smart radio-based’ network of beacons and repeaters to a hub, which relays the alert to a pre-set individual or group. The network’s ‘mesh’ technology means that, ‘in the unlikely event of beacon or repeater failure’, the message is retransmitted across an alternative pathway. If there is no response within a pre-configured time, the alarm can be further escalated via a pager, two-way radio, or mobile device.
