  • Method and apparatus for indicating a configurable switch
    Publication number: 20060053669
    Abstract: The present invention enables institutions to identify and define specific patient and staff communication needs, and then configure nurse call switches accordingly. The facility administrators are able to customize the switches by placing their own colors, fonts, and text on removable label strips. The strips are removably positioned adjacent to activation switches. The specifically configured activation switches enable a particular healthcare facility to more effectively respond to different situations, some of which may be unique to the particular institution.
