Yes. The RTLS solution offered ensures that both the "right to be forgotten", i.e. the permanent deletion of all personal data, and the "right to data transferability", i.e. the transmission of a complete list of all stored personal data, are respected.
For the support and relief of personnel resources and the protection of patients! Automated processes help your staff to become more efficient and avoid errors caused by manual entries. Your nursing staff can therefore devote themselves to their daily care activities in a more concentrated and efficient manner and are not permanently distracted or disturbed by other factors.
The alarm is triggered by defined information from the organisational requirements and specifications of the respective hospital or care home. All possible types of alarm are defined together with us, worked out and entered into the RTLS system. It is very important to us to meet the individual requirements of the respective operator.
Alarms are displayed both on the DECT telephones or smartphones made available to staff by the operator (no private smartphones) and on the Visocall IP components (e.g. Staff Terminal). The RTLS system is connected to our call system via ESPA interface (ESPA 4.4.4. and ESPA-X).
We are always very interested in keeping up with the state-of-the-art technology and try to provide up-to-date interfaces in our development department as soon as possible so that we remain competitive and can offer our customers added value through compatibility and flexibility.
Existing state-of-the-art interfaces are, for example:
- HL7 (especially for connection to hospital information systems "KIS" and medical devices)
- ESPA X (bidirectional connection for RTLS and other third-party systems)
- ESPA 4.4.4 (easy connection for RTLS and other thirdparty systems)
Floor by floor, room by room and / or if required down to a few meters (about 1.5 metres) in real time.
The positioning accuracy depends on how many position markers are used. This is comparable with the mobile telephone and data network: The closer the transmitter network is, the more comprehensive and powerful the radio coverage.
The long-term advantages of the Securwatch real-time localisation system are:
- Cost savings through optimal use of personnel resources
- Relief of the staff in the daily nursing routine
- Individual freedom of movement of the patients with dementia, or those who are disoriented easily or suffer from a mental illness
An immediate alarm notification in emergency situations with location-specific determination of the incident is guaranteed and helps staff to implement immediate and efficient measures so that the patient and / or colleagues can be helped quickly.
A walking direction detection system signals whether a patient is moving from a safe area or within a safe area. Therefore, no "unnecessary" alarms are triggered.
Thanks to the possibility of remote antennas, some readers can be positioned in the room (e.g. suspended ceiling mounting, etc.) in such a way that they are "out of reach" for patients. Should damage to system components nevertheless occur, this is immediately detected and a technical alarm is triggeried (all system components are permanently monitored).
DIN VDE 0834 is the leading standard for the planning and execution of call systems. This external certification for the Visocall IP all-in-one communication system confirms that our solution meets the highest requirements in terms of security and reliability.
A nurse call system or our all-in-one communication solution Visocall IP relieves your staff and makes life easier for everyone involved in patient care. For example, from more independent patientswho can carry out simple services completely without assistance, to mobile applications for more freedom of movement or targeted alarm notifications without unnecessary detours.
Through targeted distribution of information, 50 percent of your staff's walking distances can be reduced.
When developing our solutions, we pay attention to absolute investment security through backward compatibility and ability to modernise. Visocall IP is therefore 100% compatible with Visocall Plus. It is therefore not absolutely necessary to replace Visocall Plus.
Yes. Various interfaces and protocols offer different possibilities for connection to external systems such as existing fire alarm systems, telephone systems, billing systems, heating and ventilation systems and much more.
We offer all types of loudspeakers in standard and EN 54-24 design. In addition, some loudspeakers are available with additional attributes and certificates. Our contact persons will be heppy to help you to check your requirements.
With PA/VA systems there is usually no need for intensive service or maintenance work. From time to time and depending on the ambient conditions, it is recommended to check the air circulation for cooling the units and – if applicable – the dust filter mats used and to replace them if necessary.
Depending on local regulations, it may also be necessary to check the current usage behaviour of the rooms to be evacuated and the arrangement of the loudspeakers at regular intervals. The focus here is to ensure that an alarm announcement is made with the necessary volume and minimum speech intelligibility (>0.5). Also, battery exchange for the emergency power supply is usually prescribed in a 4-year cycle.
Yes. A connection to our Integral EvoxX fire alarm control panel is possible for automated alarm notification and evacuation. Integration is possible either by means of monitored control contacts or via our digital control connection.
Yes. Our PA/VA systems can be easily connected to existing PA/VA systems of other manufacturers by means of control contacts and analogue audio channels.
Yes, it's possible. The APS® technology helps to save costs in networking. A standard network connection via Local Area Network (LAN) is sufficient to transmit data and digital audio signals simultaneously over long distances.
Yes.

No. For proper colouring, it is necessary to disassemble a fire detector into individual parts. However, this leads to the loss of the calibration and thus the approval. A paint test without dismantling into individual parts can in turn lead to contamination of the measuring chamber and the temperature sensor - and thus to faulty functioning.
Yes. Our Cubus automatic fire detectors can be configured to be time-controlled and can detect heat during the day and smoke at night, for example. This setting is mostly used in commercial kitchens.
Our fire detectors all come from our own production and are developed and produced by our group sister Hekatron in Germany.
Modern fire detectors can be roughly divided into three groups:
- Non-automatic fire detectors (manual alarm notification)
- Automatic fire detectors
- Special fire detectors for special applications
Depending on the type of sensor technology, automatic fire detectors are divided into multiple sensor detectors, smoke detectors, heat detectors, fire gas detectors (CO) and flame detectors.
Multiple sensor detectors work with several different sensors and thus combine different fire detection systems in one device (e.g. smoke detectors, heat detectors and fire gas detectors). This means that only one detector is required for all applications.
Smoke detectors only have one sensor and are only triggered if smoke particles enter the measuring chamber, these smoke particles scatter a light beam emitted by an infrared diode and parts of this scattered light fall on a light-sensitive sensor (scattered light principle). Smoke detectors are mainly used to detect smouldering fires.
- Predominant environmental and ambient conditions
- the room height
- and the expected fire characteristics
are used to select the correct fire detectors.
On the one hand, the quantity and arrangement of the automatic fire detectors depends on nationally applicable standards / guidelines and, on the other hand, it depends on the type of detectors used, the room geometry, the type of use and on the ambient conditions in the rooms to be monitored. The detectors must be selected in such a way as to reliably detect fires in their formation phase and to prevent deceptive alarms.
Yes. Our fire detectors can be provided in all RAL colours on request. Optionally, up to two gloss levels are possible (silk matt and gloss). However, our fire detectors are white (RAL 9003) as standard.
Multiple sensor detectors and smoke detectors are only triggered if smoke particles enter the measuring chamber, these smoke particles scatter a light beam emitted by an infrared diode and parts of this scattered light fall on a light-sensitive sensor (scattered light principle). Over years, more and more dirt particles get into this measuring chamber, which can lead to deceptive and false alarms.
Our automatic fire detectors permanently monitor your measuring chamber for contamination. If dirt particles are detected in the measuring chamber, they adjust their alarm sensitivity so that the detector remains reliable and fully functional regardless of its contamination. This process is called pollution compensation.
By means of the contamination prediction, the detector independently provides information when replacement becomes necessary and the contamination compensation is no longer sufficient.
According to European standards, smoke alarms cannot and must not be used with an automatic fire alarm system that ensures reliable alarm notification of action forces. Therefore, smoke alarms are mainly used on the house and apartment market, where there are no official requirements for an automatic fire alarm system. In addition, smoke alarms are powered by batteries and it must be possible to check their function manually – e.g. by pressing a button.
Our aspirating smoke detectors are among the most precise and reliable fire early warning systems in modern fire detection. The detectors boast unrivalled performance, robustness and detection reliability and can react highly sensitively to fires. Depending on the application, the use of special accessories may also be useful.
As an alternative to our aspirating smoke detectors, our ADW and LIST linear heat detectors can also be used.
Our ADW line-type heat detector with corresponding sensing tube is suitable for this application. It is particularly reliable, available in stainless steel and therefore ideal for hygienic use in food production.
Our LIST line-type heat detector is ideal for this application. The addressable heat detector cable enables selectable sensor distances, branches and single temperature sensors and is characterised by precise detection, high reaction speed and easy repair if necessary.
Linear smoke detectors or our highly sensitive smoke aspiration system are ideal for use in rooms with high ceilings.
The planning of special fire detectors is a very complex matter due to the areas of application or environments. Primarily, it is important to know which ambient conditions are present in situ and which physical quantities (smoke, heat etc...) are to be detected. In addition, operating procedures must be taken into account when selecting and positioning the special detectors. Our specialists will be happy to provide you with comprehensive planning and advice.
