And a nurse call system capable of transmitting data to a nurse or the like in a hospital.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a nurse call system shown in the system configuration diagram of FIG. 2 has been proposed as this kind of nurse call system.

The nurse call system shown in FIG. 1 can be installed for each bed in the sickrooms a, b,... For measuring biological information such as blood pressure, body temperature, pulse, etc. of the patient in the sickbed. A plurality of biological information measuring devices having the function of
.. Each of four sickrooms a, b,...
1a to 504a, 501b to 504b,.
504a, 501b to 504b,... A biological information set display device 51 for individually receiving and displaying various data (data signals) from the respective biological information measuring devices.
0 is provided.

In the nurse call system configured as described above, one biological information measuring device 501a to 504a, 5 is provided for each bed in the sickrooms a, b,.
01b to 504b,... Can measure the biological information such as the blood pressure, the body temperature, and the pulse of the patient in each bed, and display the data and the waveform as the measured biological information result. A data signal obtained by appropriately processing the biological information result (hereinafter, referred to as an information result data signal)
With a medical telemeter (not described in detail) with respect to the biological information aggregate display device 510 installed in the nurse station.
Can be used to wirelessly transmit data, while the biological information measuring devices 501a to 504a and 501b to
If the biological information result measured in 504b,... Is an abnormal value, a data signal (hereinafter, referred to as an alarm data signal) obtained by appropriately processing the biological information result together with the abnormal value alarm information, Data can be wirelessly transmitted to the biological information aggregate display device 510 using a medical telemeter.

[0005] In the living body information collecting and displaying device 510 installed in the nurse station, one living body information measuring device 5 is installed for each bed in the sickrooms a, b, ....

I was reporting to a nurse.

[0006]

However, in the conventional nurse call system, the biological information measuring device 50 is used.
The biological information results and abnormal value alarm information of patients on each bed in the hospital rooms a, b,... Measured in 1a to 504a, 501b to 504b,. Since data is transmitted wirelessly using the medical telemeter only to the information set display device 510, when a nurse is not present at the nurse station, it is not possible to report biological information results and abnormal value alarm information, and promptly. There was a difficulty that it was difficult to take appropriate measures.

Further, biological information measuring devices 501a to 504
a, 501b to 504b, ... there is a limit to the transmission distance of wireless data transmission using a medical telemeter,
Even when the wireless data signals are transmitted from the plurality of biological information measuring devices at the same time, the biological information
However, there was a problem that the reception and signal processing could not be performed normally.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and has been made in a hospital room through a wired transmission which forms a digital communication network which is previously integrated with the radio communication network of the nurse call system. Nurses who can notify nurses in hospitals by transmitting data on the results of biological information of patients on each bed and abnormal value warning information when the measured biological information results are abnormal values. The purpose is to provide a call system.

[0009]

In order to achieve this object, a nurse call system according to the present invention can be installed for each bed in a sickroom.
A biological information measuring device having a function for measuring biological information such as a body temperature and a pulse, a nurse call slave device having a base unit, a hand ringing calling function and a calling function, and one at a doorway of a sickroom and the like. The biological information measuring device is connected via a nurse call slave unit, and a corridor light having a display unit such as a lamp, and is installed in a nurse station and is connected via a main line from the corridor light via a controller,
A board master unit having a handset / handover ring calling function and a call function, a biological information aggregate display device having a display unit for displaying data of a plurality of biological information measuring devices,
PB with handover exchange switching function in controller
X, a nurse call system connected via a hand dinner base station having a hand transmitting / receiving function and a hand dinner having a display unit, wherein the nurse call system is measured by a biological information measuring device. The biological information result and the abnormal value alarm information are transmitted to the corridor light, the biological information collective display device, and the hand dinner, respectively. By using the display unit of the device and the display unit of the hand dinner to display data and waveforms as a result of biological information, and also to notify abnormal value alarm information by sound and text, data transmission using the main line can be performed. And it is a feature to notify the nurse.

[0010] According to such a nurse call system, the results of the patient's biological information and abnormal value alarm information of each bed measured by the biological information measuring device in the sickroom are previously merged with the radio communication network of the nurse call system. Data can be transmitted to a corridor lamp, a biometric information display device, and a handi- ness via a wired transmission forming a digital communication network.

Thus, the corridor lamp can notify a nurse, a doctor or the like near the entrance to the sickroom using visual notification means of the abnormal value alarm information.
