PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Nexus is a wireless nurse call system designed for ease of programming, installation and use.
This allows rapid deployment of a low-cost call system during influenza season when hospital
resources are stretched, or permanent installation for a long-term care facility or hospital ward
looking for a reliable call solution.
Nexus works using a 10” Android tablet for the display – the tablet comes with a protective folio
for placement on a desk, or can be wall-mounted with the use of an optional bracket.
Alternately, a TV Box running Nexus can be connected to a larger computer monitor for a more
visible display.
Up to three calls can be displayed on the screen, with higher priority calls automatically moved
to the top of the alarm display. Alarm priority levels are Emergency, Bath, and standard Call. If
more than three calls happen to be active at the same time, Nexus will display the three highest
priority events, and additional calls will display as the higher priority events are reset. All events
are logged with a record of event location, call type, time of trigger and duration before reset.
Indication lights placed throughout the ward or building show if there is an active call in the
area. Each light has an internal buzzer with adjustable volume, and can repeat the signal to the
display panel to greatly extend range and improve the reliability of wireless coverage.

1.3 General Operation
Nexus follows generally accepted principles of a nurse call system as described in the UL and
HTM-08 standards. Patient calls should be reset at location by the nurse or caregiver as soon as
can reasonably be achieved.
• Pressing a Call button on the bedhead unit triggers a Call
• Double pressing a wall-mount bedhead triggers an Emergency call
• Pressing Call on a bathroom unit triggers a Bath alarm
• Pressing Reset will cancel the alarm
• The RED segment of the indication light indicates a Call is active
• The WHITE segment of the indication light indicates a Bath alert is active
