Key points

Where Patient Call Buttons Are Used and Why They Matter

Patient call button systems are in high demand wherever patients need to summon help without leaving the bed or speaking. In hospitals, they are standard at the bedside so patients can alert nurses for medication, pain, toileting, or emergencies. In nursing homes and assisted living, residents use them to request assistance, reducing falls and improving response times. Rehabilitation centres and OPD waiting areas use them to call staff without shouting. The demand comes from safety regulations, accreditation requirements, and the need to improve patient satisfaction and staff efficiency.

A wireless patient call button removes the cost and disruption of wiring. Facilities can retrofit existing buildings and add or move beds without running cables. Battery-operated remotes last years, so maintenance is low. The instant alert (under 100ms) and clear green/red buttons make the system easy for patients and staff to use. This page covers the FORBIX SEMICON® patient call button (model FBX521): features, specifications, compatibility with nurse call systems, and answers to common questions so you can evaluate it for your facility.
