Preface
Introduction
This guide provides important information about the Staff Duress Pendant, a
component of the Help Alert Emergency Call (E-Call) Solutions. It provides
detailed instructions about using the pendant as well as specific requirements.
Help Alert E-Call Solution
The Help Alert E-Call Solutions allow doctors, nurses and other staff members to
discreetly send a distress call when assistance is needed. The Help Alert software is
displayed on a monitor with the facility floor plan visible for accurate location
notification. The Help Alert E-Call Solution enables hospitals to secure the entire
facility (i.e. staff areas, departments, etc.) with a customized application based on
the PinPoint Real Time Location System (RTLS) platform.
The Reference Tags form a peer-to-peer network and enables the Staff Duress
Pendant to determine their exact location. The Help Alert E-Call Solution includes
mobile access functions via a PDA. This component allows security personnel to receive
visual and audible notifications and disable an alarm at the point of incident.
Intended Audience
The
Staff Duress Pendant User Guide
is intended for staff members who use the
Pendant. It includes detailed information about using the Pendant, LED behavior
and Pendant specifications.
WARNING:
The Help Alert E-Call Solution is designed and
intended to work in conjunction with a facility’s overall security
program, including reasonable operating policies and procedures. The
Help Alert E-Call Solution, by itself, cannot prevent security
breaches.
