Convert nurse call TAP and pager text messages output directly into PA audio announcements.
- Broadcast Code Blue, Code Stroke, or rapid response alerts to clinical areas instantly.
- earBridge automatically translates abbreviated text codes to phrases!
- Announce Priority patient calls where visual displays are not available
- Provide an audible backup to nurse station displays and pagers.
- Announce alerts for bed exits, bathroom calls, or high-risk events.
