A common doubt among hospital decision makers is whether wireless nurse call systems meet the required standards for safety and performance. The assumption is that wired systems are more compliant because they are “traditional” and therefore more acceptable during audits.
The reality is very different.
Modern wireless nurse call systems come with international certifications that wired systems do not even require. Products designed for global healthcare markets carry CE and FCC certifications, ensuring they meet strict benchmarks for radio safety, electromagnetic compatibility and product reliability. These are the same standards followed by medical devices used worldwide.
For the Indian market, wireless systems operate on frequencies approved by the Government and come with WPC certification, confirming that the equipment is safe to use in hospitals without interfering with medical devices.
Compliance does not end there. Hospitals working towards NABH accreditation must demonstrate clear safety practices. This includes accessible call points at every bed, toilet points for immobile patients and a Code Blue system that alerts staff instantly in an emergency. A good wireless system meets all these requirements and simplifies compliance because installation is easy and upgrades do not require major civil work.
For hospitals that do not have Code Blue, a stand-alone wireless Code Blue solution can be deployed quickly without shutting down the ward. This allows hospitals to meet audit requirements even when their wired system cannot support upgrades.
Certifications are not just paperwork. They are proof that wireless systems are safe, reliable and audit ready from day one.
