SPONSORED BY HEALTH SECTOR NEWS Nurse call systems recommissioned in 16 days
Static Systems Group has a long-standing relationship with the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, and when the Trust decided to re-open three wards at the Leeds General Infirmary (pictured) in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, stepped in to recommission its Codemlon nurse call system in all three.
The nurse call solution was first installed in wards X31, X34, and X37, over seven years ago, and Static Systems’ work entailed substantial recommissioning to bring the systems in line with HTM compliance. Given the increase in the COVID-19 cases, the Trust set a tight timescale for the wards to open to patients – with the original handover deadline of the
end of April brought forward by almost three weeks. SSG successfully completed all the required work in just 16 days – from initial site survey to handover. All site labour was completed within a six-day period. SSG Account manager, Andrew Hussey,
explained: “After an initial meeting, we conducted a visual system survey before making our recommendations to the Trust, and undertook a secondary system survey – including powering up and fault finding – before reporting back and agreeing the solutions for the recommissioning pathway. We liaised closely throughout with the electrical contractor, JA Richardson, completing the final test and commissioning before handover to the Trust one day ahead of its deadline.”
All three wards now feature the latest version of SSG’s Codemlon addressable loop wired nurse call solution, which includes 'smart device' integration.
‘Ultra-efficient’ theatre and examination lighting
Hiltons Electrical says it is proud to announce the launch of the latest operating and examination light technology from its partners, Nexor, in Germany.
The company said: “The Nova range of
operating lights are ultra-efficient LED products that stand up to modern operating theatres’ demands. The lights are designed using a flat monocoque housing, and with high IP protection, allowing for easy disinfection. The LED lens technology provides outstanding shadow resolution without the need for complicated light management systems. The Nova 800 light head delivers an impressive 160 K Lux light output running at only 45 Watts, with adjustable colour temperature and extremely low heat output. The Nova 600 is a more compact version, but still delivers an impressive 160 K Lux at just 36 Watts. Wireless HD and 4K camera systems are available.” ‘For a more cost-effective approach’,
Hiltons offers the Nova 500/700, which uses the same technology without colour temperature adjustment. The Nexor range also includes minor surgical lights and examination lights – ‘all ultra- efficient, user-friendly, and with high light outputs’, and available in ceiling and wall-mounted, and mobile versions. Hiltons’ ‘turnkey solutions’ also include multi-movement pendant systems configurable to clients’ needs, while in line with current regulations, it manufactures three-hour emergency battery systems for all operating lights. Hiltons added: “For ultimate peace of mind, we also provide maintenance contracts, while our engineers are always on hand to respond to call-outs.”
