The wonderful<br />

2 flamenco ® Introduction<br />
<strong>Tunstall</strong><br />
presents its revolutionary<br />
nursecall system.<br />
<strong>Tunstall</strong> – for better<br />
hospital communication<br />
Communication is the basis for<br />
all human interaction. It happens<br />
every day in our contacts with<br />
other people. If we can keep<br />
communication simple, we will<br />
facilitate smooth processes and<br />
ensure that everyone knows<br />
exactly what is happening.<br />
In hospitals, where lots of people with different needs come<br />
together, communication is particularly vital. Everyone has a<br />
different perspective. Patients expect a quick response when<br />
they have desires or feel bad, while doctors and nurses may<br />
have a large number of patients to look after. Especially at<br />
night this can become a real challenge. There are patients<br />
who can’t get around by themselves, for whom transfers to<br />
other parts of the building constantly have to be arranged –<br />
from ward to theatre, from recovery to ward, to physiotherapy<br />
and back or to the lab for a blood sample. In addition,<br />
there are so many other tasks that need to be arranged and<br />
coordinated as efficiently as possible. Hospital managers<br />
shoulder a great responsibility – not only for patients and<br />
staff, but also for commercial success and robust operations.<br />
And to meet all these different concerns and interests. Each<br />
hospital depends on an optimum solution to its communication<br />
needs to meet all these different concerns and interests.<br />
Good communication stands out due to clear messages that<br />
everyone involved can understand. More than ever, with<br />
hospitals competing among themselves, getting the message
is crucial. A hospital must treat patients as clients, respect<br />
their preferences and expectations and seek to accommodate<br />
them to survive in the market.<br />
The ongoing dialogue with our customers that we have pursued<br />
in over 40 years of experience in this field has enabled<br />
us to develop technological leadership. Our solutions bear<br />
the hallmarks of generous flexibility, supreme quality,<br />
extremely simple installation and configuration and, not less<br />
important, outstanding design. Naturally our products and<br />
systems comply with the German nursecall system standard<br />
DIN VDE 0843, with its stringent security and operational<br />
requirements. We know all about planning the communication<br />
between hundreds of patients, nursing staff, physicians,<br />
administrators, support functions, technicians, supplies and<br />
waste disposal and about implementing the design reliably<br />
and efficiently. We would be delighted to convince you our<br />
nurse call systems can help you to simplify processes. Just ask!<br />
In many European countries, health care systems are experiencing<br />
radical change. The reasons and the consequences<br />
are very different and this guides our ideas and our product<br />
development.<br />
There are some markets, for example, where the priority is to<br />
modernise existing hospitals. On the one hand, patients are<br />
staying fewer nights, but on the other hand demographics<br />
have brought higher case loads, so the available beds and<br />
rooms provide appropriate capacity. The primary objective is<br />
to raise technical standards, enhancing patient comfort and<br />
optimising organisational flows. Our task here is to respond<br />
to the specific environment and its particular requirements.<br />
A smooth transition from “old” to “new” is decisive. After all,<br />
operations must continue without interruption. In most cases<br />
even a brief closure is inconceivable. We have gained a lot<br />
of experience with such scenarios and our competence<br />
in the field is extensive.<br />
There are other countries witnessing a broad wave<br />
of newbuilds, and what they need from our product<br />
is quite different. Usually there is a keen<br />
interest in innovative solutions with features<br />
such as listable interfaces to hospital management<br />
systems or adaptation to personnel security systems.<br />
Here again, we are the right people to deal with.<br />
Just ask. For all the reassurance you need.<br />

When it comes to making decisions about systems and products, there are a myriad possibilities and unforeseeable<br />
economic considerations that complicate the process. How can you decide on the right system when<br />
demands and technologies are constantly changing? You may not be able to see into the future, but you can<br />
plan for it! With flamenco ® , you’re perfectly prepared for every stage of the journey into the future. Thanks<br />
to a standardised system with a modular design that can be installed in rooms with the utmost flexibility.<br />
Only a long-lasting solution<br />
is a cost-effective one.<br />
The decision to install a call system is always a long-term<br />
move, since it demands future-oriented planning, long-term<br />
installation and needs-based user training. Only if your call<br />
system is able to respond flexibly to changed organisational<br />
demands or communication needs will your decision pay off<br />
in the long term too. Apparently low-cost solutions can<br />
quickly turn out to be expensive mistakes. With flamenco ® ,<br />
all new developments and adaptations of features can be<br />
integrated easily both now and in the future. And all without<br />
any changes to the cable infrastructure, expensive installations,<br />
dust or mess. Just like in the flamenco dance, the<br />
technology develops but the substance remains the same.<br />

Compatibility means integration,<br />
not rejection.<br />
When the decision to replace or change a system is being<br />
made, costs and complexity play a crucial role. <strong>Tunstall</strong> has<br />
therefore developed solution concepts that facilitate the<br />
straightforward integration of existing products and the<br />
smooth continuation of the hospital's operation. Decide for<br />
yourself whether you want to replace individual components,<br />
use existing cable networks or carry out a complete system<br />
change.<br />
flamenco ® ’s superlative compatibility affords healthcare providers<br />
additional room for manoeuvre despite limited budgets.<br />
You can retain existing assets, reduce ongoing operating costs<br />
and profit from new ideas and innovative system concepts<br />
aimed at ensuring even more efficient organisation and<br />
communication.<br />
Compatibility creates freedom:<br />
• Interfaces to previous systems<br />
• The <strong>Tunstall</strong> refurbishment concept<br />
allows new systems to be installed<br />
with virtually no interruptions to<br />
ongoing hospital operation.<br />
• Integration of several system<br />
generations<br />
• Use of existing routings and sockets<br />
• Upgrade to new products

connection as secure as possible, minimising the risk of<br />
unwanted influences from either side. This is where the<br />
challenge for planners and operators lies – to work with the<br />
manufacturer to create the best possible, secure solution.<br />

18 flamenco ® Interfaces<br />
Satisfy security requirements safely.<br />
Call systems are designed to request help quickly, reliably<br />
and in a targeted manner in emergency situations and situations<br />
of danger. When it comes to human life and health, the<br />
demands of communication and safety are inseparable. To<br />
safeguard these demands, call systems are standardised to<br />
DIN VDE 0834.<br />
As more and more systems are connected and global network<br />
structures become more and more widespread,<br />
the demand is growing for a standardised platform<br />
that can handle all communication tasks. The<br />
flamenco ® system complies fully with all the<br />
applicable guidelines and is based on an intrinsically<br />
safe system with its own infrastructure.<br />
<strong>Tunstall</strong> is committed to closely examining the<br />
risks of failure, the degree of system support<br />
required and the resulting follow-on costs long<br />

1. Where call systems are connected to<br />
other systems, human safety is always<br />
the top priority.<br />
2. Integration into existing networks or<br />
link-up via interfaces is possible at any<br />
time, provided the requirements of<br />
DIN VDE 0834 are strictly adhered to.<br />
3. Each individual component used and<br />
the entire infrastructure must satisfy<br />
the high demands on a call system<br />
in order to allow the creation of a<br />
standard-compliant, safe system.
Security and IP<br />
aren’t a contradiction.<br />
The right use of IP-based solutions can represent a useful<br />
addition to regular call systems and communication<br />
solutions. But not everything that is technically possible<br />
can meet the stringent standards required.<br />

The call system has a separate, independent cable network. Added<br />
value services are simply transported as an additional element via<br />
LAN or telephone line, for example, under the same cover plate into<br />
a connecting plug or into the device. When it comes to functionality,<br />
however, the systems remain fully independent.<br />

The call system on each ward has its own cable network. Several<br />
stations are to be linked together via a standardised cable network<br />
(DIN/EN 50173) and standard network components. Added value<br />
services are integrated as in case study 1 via the device or connecting<br />
plug as independent systems.<br />
Case study 3 complies with standards under certain conditions.<br />
Since the organisational specifications are difficult to guarantee<br />
over the long term, however, this approach is not recommended.<br />

Managing the flood of information.<br />
The link to the OSY-ControlCenter gives you direct access to<br />
information from all connected information systems. This<br />
information might be personal data from the HIS, including<br />
medical data, names or care instructions, or it could equally<br />
be information from facilities management. To ensure<br />
seamless documentation, all system events can be logged<br />
with the time, date, ward and room identifiers and exported<br />
into other applications. Of course, PrimusGlobal+ supports<br />
multiple workstations.<br />
Truly multi-talented when it comes to<br />
configuration.<br />
Whether it be on site or remotely, the flamenco ® System-<br />
Organizer is a configuration tool that enables all system<br />
settings from the initial commissioning to subsequent functional<br />
adaptations to be taken care of with complete ease.
Cost-effective organisation with the<br />
ManagementCenter.<br />
More time for care, happier staff and cost-effective organisation<br />
– that’s the best way of summing up the experiences<br />
that many institutions have had with the ManagementCenter.<br />
Whether it be on the ward or at a central point: the ManagementCenter<br />
provides security, saves effort and lessens the<br />
workload of ward personnel. By passing on targeted information,<br />
a saving of 30 to 50 per cent of all walking routes can<br />
be achieved.<br />

The new freedom<br />
of having a network<br />
full of possibilities.<br />
The best of everything. With flamenco ®<br />
you can integrate any component from<br />
any system.<br />
OSY: it may sound like a technical abbreviation, but it describes<br />
a whole philosophy, the OpenSystem philosophy.<br />
It provides the operational security for integrating different<br />
external systems via interfaces. The OSY ControlCenter is<br />
at the heart of all data flows and voice communication.<br />
The OSYnet Safety Controller grants additional security.<br />
You decide on the best solution in each department.<br />
flamenco ® is an open platform. You can consider all options<br />
available for your communication system whatever delivers<br />
the most benefits for your telephone and alarm networks<br />
and patient environment. Smart OSYlinks make sure everything<br />
communicates smoothly. And a modular approach is<br />
the best springboard for easy alterations and extensions.<br />
Proven bus technology performs<br />
great feats with small parts.<br />
Intelligent networking starts at the small end. The RAN bus<br />
knits together all the components in the room so skilfully<br />
that they carry on doing a reliable job even if another part<br />
has failed. The smart ComTerminal is the link between<br />
the room bus and the OSYnet group bus. OSY symbolises<br />
independently secure systems that can shield themselves<br />
from an error elsewhere and continue working reliably even<br />
during an operational malfunction. You can trust flamenco ®<br />
with its proven system security.<br />

Plug and Play increases security and<br />
cuts installation time.<br />
Where refurbishment is concerned, flamenco ® is perfectly<br />
prepared for when a change of components is needed:<br />
simply reconfigure sub-sections or quickly exchange individual<br />
peripherals via the Plug and Play approach. Since the<br />
bus technology extends into the room, configuration of the<br />
plug-in modules is simplicity itself. Even extensive functional<br />
improvements can be loaded easily via a software upgrade<br />
without interfering with ongoing hospital operation.<br />
24 flamenco ® Innovations<br />
Plug and Play<br />
gives you freedom<br />
• As early as the planning stage<br />
• During installation<br />
• When servicing<br />
• For changes of use<br />
The small ideas<br />
that make big<br />
progress<br />
possible.<br />
Implement changes easily in no time at all.<br />
With easy-to-install Plug and Play components, the amount<br />
of effort associated with installations is reduced, saving<br />
valuable working time and increasing safety and security.<br />
Prior considerations of specialist lines, the number of cables<br />
or types of buttons are no longer needed, since flamenco ®<br />
can largely be integrated into existing cable networks. In the<br />
next stage, the plugs are pre-installed and connected via<br />
3-wire RAN technology. The devices then simply need to be<br />
plugged in. The final stage, the system configuration stage,<br />
is also quick and convenient.
Major savings effect from<br />
innovative ideas for the details.<br />
Accessories with built-in material protection.<br />
The equipment and cable clamps put an end to the cable<br />
spaghetti by the patient’s bed, thereby ensuring more safety.<br />
The precise routing ensures that all cables remain out of the<br />
way, namely on the bed rail. The smart, self-releasing adapter<br />
avoids unnecessary material damage due to inattention: if<br />
the patient inadvertently pulls the pear push switch or patient<br />

Cost effectiveness is the Holy Grail of hospital management.<br />
This is why we use LED modules throughout. Their service<br />
life is 20 times higher than conventional bulbs, and they<br />
consume only a quarter of the energy. But that's not all:<br />
their longer service life also means that the amount of maintenance<br />
required is close to zero. Improve your operational<br />
reliability thanks to LED modules: with their outstanding<br />
failure safety, not a single patient call will go unnoticed. Cost<br />
effectiveness, comfort and safety in a perfect combination –<br />
so typically <strong>Tunstall</strong>.<br />

The demands on equipment in patients’ rooms are becoming<br />
ever more exacting, more personal and more important. On<br />
patients' wish-lists, TV as well as access to multimedia and<br />
Internet applications are becoming increasingly popular. This<br />
aspect is growing more and more popular not least due to<br />
the increased trend towards the creation of VIP wards.<br />
In conjunction with selected and certified partners, we offer<br />
a broad bandwidth of equipment and solutions. Coordinated<br />
interfaces ensure smooth communication and guarantee a<br />
high degree of flexibility when it comes to choosing equipment<br />
and system solutions.
Available anytime, anywhere.<br />
Even with the standard version of flamenco ® , there are a<br />
range of speech-based communication options available.<br />
Whether it be conversations with patients, in the central<br />
console or via an auxiliary console: simple handling and<br />
excellent speech quality make life much easier in many<br />
ways for staff.<br />
Depending on organisational requirements, it is possible to<br />
implement a mobile communication option. flamenco ® is<br />
equipped with various interfaces for this, allowing the connection<br />
of modern telephone systems. From a simple ESPA<br />
data interface to link-ups via VoIP with the SIP protocol,<br />
virtually everything is possible. The functions range from the<br />
simple display of a call message in the display to a console<br />
with speech connection to the patient and subsequent call<br />

Training courses of the highest calibre.<br />
Call systems comply with the strict DIN VDE 0834 safety<br />
standard and undergo regular maintenance. As a result of<br />
today’s demands on organisation and process optimisation,<br />
systems have been developed that are pretty comprehensive,<br />
including everything from simple contact switches and links<br />
to telecommunications systems to the integration of systems<br />
into IT networks. These complex solutions require specialist<br />
knowledge, experience and not least a strong sense of<br />
responsibility from specially trained personnel.<br />
Problems can often be avoided by taking simple steps, such<br />
as by carrying out the prescribed inspections and maintenance<br />
checks. Consequently, we offer you technical training<br />
courses and seminars, delivered at our training centre by<br />
experienced systems engineers, for our various systems and<br />
product generations. Technical personnel in hospitals and<br />
staff from installation companies can therefore be trained<br />
to make them experts in call systems, providing suitable<br />
contacts on site who can intervene rapidly on site and, if<br />
a problem arises, take the correct action as defined by<br />
standards and technical practices.<br />
Practical experience for practical<br />
situations:<br />
flamenco ® training courses<br />
• In-depth information on the design,<br />
installation and operation of our systems<br />
• Training courses on configuring and<br />

Telecare and Telehealth from<br />
the innovation leader.<br />
<strong>Tunstall</strong> is not just the global innovation leader in the<br />
field of hospital communications. When a company<br />
does as much for security and safety as we do, it’s<br />
only natural that we should expand into other areas<br />
too: when it comes to home emergency calls, service<br />
calls, communication for the elderly and telehealth,<br />
nobody surpasses us. Innovative, contemporary<br />
systems equipped with all conceivable features that<br />
deliver unfailing reliability ensure that patients, their<br />
relatives and carers feel completely reassured.<br />
With <strong>Tunstall</strong> Telecare solutions, a simple press of the call<br />
trigger button on the home emergency call system sets up<br />
a speech connection to the emergency call switchboard,<br />
from where help can be organised.<br />
For patients with long-term conditions, <strong>Tunstall</strong> Telehealth<br />
solutions make life easier and allow them to stay safely in<br />
their familiar, home environment. Intelligent and individually<br />
configured monitors collect vital data, automatically sending it<br />
to a monitoring centre. Each patient is monitored continually<br />
there and treatment is initiated immediately should there<br />
be a critical change in their readings.<br />

Mitte too, from a single switchboard at the Virchow campus.<br />
As a result, the calls from 2 buildings and 1,600 beds are<br />
now coordinated and organised via a single switchboard.<br />
Südharz Hospital, Nordhausen, Germany:<br />
The nursecall system in the Südharz hospital is the heart of<br />
the entire hospital’s communication and organisation system.<br />
From a central point, the ComCenter, trained nurses handle<br />
all patient calls. With each call, all of the patient’s key information<br />
is displayed directly on the monitor. This saves time –<br />
time that the nursing staff can dedicate to the patient. Each<br />
year, around 44,000 kilometres of walking are also saved. The<br />
hospital moreover uses many other options offered by the<br />
flamenco ® ComCenter: to provide greater clarity, MRSA/ORSA<br />
rooms are marked in red, in order to enable these rooms to<br />
be identified at a glance and exclude them from certain procedures<br />
for organisational reasons. flamenco ® ’s flexibility is also<br />
harnessed by allowing ward limits to be virtually redrawn, allowing<br />
multi-use rooms to be put together for area-based care.<br />
Johannes Wesling Hospital, Minden, Germany:<br />
When a new hospital was built, the first in North Rhine-<br />
Westphalia in 20 years, public interest was as great as<br />
the competition among the suppliers. <strong>Tunstall</strong>, however,<br />
impressed right across the board with its flamenco ®<br />
nursecall system. Since February 2008, the 28 wards<br />
of the around 1,000-bed hospital have been managed<br />
in a local organisational structure. Thanks to<br />
the intelligent connection of the nursecall system to<br />
the WLAN telephone system, constant availability is<br />
guaranteed in all locations.<br />
