Centralized Code Blue
Emergency calls, such as code blue, must be handled quickly and efficiently at all times.  We can support your centralized code blue processes reliably and with ease.  When a staff member initiates a Code call on a patient, Responder^® systems can automate many steps of this process. 

We can automatically audibly page/speak the alarm and location of the incident over your PA system.  This guarantees a clear and accurate alarm and location each and every time.  We can also automate notifications on wireless devices.  These alerts can be sent to your Code Team, a specific department, or the entire facility if you like.  We are flexible enough to handle your unique needs and change them per shift.

Visual notification is also important.  We certainly can light the corridor light of where the incident generated from.  But we can also take it a step further by directing your Code Team with directional lighting.  From the moment the team walks onto the unit, our flashing, blue lights can lead the staff member down corridors, around corners, and right to the room.  In a moment of emergency, every second counts.

Centralized Telemetry
Centralizing your telemetry monitoring gives your facility efficiencies and value.  The Responder systems can further improve those efficiencies.  When a telemetry monitor alarms, the Responder system can notify the telemetry room of the alarm and the room.  The telemetry technician can then view the alarm on their telemetry monitor and decide what action needs to be taken.  A text message can be sent to the RN in charge of that patient and/or a reminder can be set, lighting the light outside the patient room and alerting a caregiver.  This will ensure that the most critical alarms get to the correct caregiver each time.

Integrations to your Cardiac Equipment
When a remote defibrillator is accessed anywhere in the facility, the Responder system can notify your operators immediately.  This can serve two purposes.  One, ensure that the overhead announcement is made.  Two, notify the code blue team if necessary.
