The nursing history corresponding to the calling signal output (S22) and received by the master CPU 38 is recorded in the nursing history recording database 35 (S23).

  Subsequently, base unit CPU 38 checks whether the call signal is an option call signal or a normal call signal (S24). If the call signal is a normal call signal, the call sound corresponding to the call signal is read from the call sound setting table 34 and generated by the call speaker 33 (S25), and then the process proceeds to call processing (S26). On the other hand, when the option call signal is confirmed, a restoration command is output (S27), the calling speaker 33 is stopped (S28), and at the same time, the restoration command is issued so that no calling confirmation sound is generated in the nurse call slave unit 11. Is transmitted to the nurse call slave unit 11.

  Then, the slave CPU 28 confirms whether or not a recovery command has been received (S29). If the slave command is received, the slave speaker 19 is stopped (S30), and the series of processing ends. Therefore, according to the nurse call system of the third embodiment, the push buttons 20 and 21 are provided on the nurse call slave unit 11, and the restoration instruction is added to the program of the nurse call master unit 31, whereby the existing call / response system is provided.
