Where each walk sits in the schedule
01quarterly
Nurse call system quarterly maintenance checklist
Every quarter, walked room by room. Calls that never annunciate are usually found only when someone actually presses the button.
Run by: The maintenance or low-voltage tech on the quarterly round; the field observes and documents, the licensed integrator tests and documents.
02annual
Nurse call system annual maintenance checklist
Once a year, scheduled around occupancy so every station can be taken out of service briefly and tested.
Run by: The licensed integrator on the annual service; the field observes and documents, the integrator tests and documents.
What most often fails on a nurse call system
- A pull-cord or bath station calls but the corridor dome light and master station never annunciate, so nobody responds.
- A pull cord is missing or tucked out of reach, so the station it serves cannot be reached from the fixture it protects.
- The system runs on utility power with a dead backup, and the failure is invisible until a power blip drops the whole system.
- Stations spot-checked instead of tested one by one, so a mis-addressed room annunciates as the wrong location and stays that way.
- Backup power confirmed only by its indicator light and never load-tested, so it collapses the first time it actually carries the system.
