ECS for laguages other than EnglishDear all
Have any of the ECS services (or suppliers) installed kit for people who required instruction in languages other than English? I'd be interested in how this was handled.

Single Switch Attention CallerHi, I assessed a lady with 5 year progressed MND yesterday who has that 10%
association of Dementia with MND. All that she wants and is possibly capable of
is a single switch attention calling device from bed. She cannot speak, husband
is in a separate room and hard of hearing. She has limited dexterity and strength
so a buddy button would be a good starting point, but may need to have an
alternative easier to press switch in the future. A Mini3 would seem an expensive solution. A wireless doorbell is too hard to press. Connevans Pager is a bit of a complex system. What would people’s current way of solving this be? Many thanks, Neil Gregory Principal Bio-Engineer WeSTMARC - West of Southern Email: neil.gregory@...

Re: Single Switch Attention CallerHi We have used wireless doorbells that can be used with a

Re: Single Switch Attention CallerHi Neil,
If you are maintain this yourselves, then I would have thought that, given that you will be able to re-use this, that the balance total-cost-of-ownership/reliability/low battery warning would be better with a switch accessible pager (Mini3/Possum Pager/Trex)? I have been impressed with the Trex pagers in terms of range, batteries etc, though I am not so impressed with the price and the slightly bodgy solution for switch access... Cheers.

Re: Single Switch Attention CallerHi Neil
There are some 'wireless doorbell' systems out there that have been adapted for switch input. Here is one: http://www.qedonline.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=90&products_id=484 . They don't appear to be very robust and the switch transmitter lacks a low battery warning. So I would be a bit cautious when setting these up. I have however, used these quite successfully with a number of similiar clients recently with various switches. It is a shame that Possum don't provide those modified pendant with pager sets anymore.

Re: Single Switch Attention CallerHi All
You can use a Possum Pager with a radio transmitter which you can plug a switch into. I have used these with success. I have also used the adapted doorbell with success. I tend to suggest that people do a test each day to ensure the switch is accessible and that everything is working for an attention calling system to reduce risk of batteries running out etc. Possum requirements: HC401 - Pager2 code 034-436 £233 each HC402 - Triple Radio Transmitters code 034-614 £218 each HC501C - Charger code 034-541 £61 each Obviously more expensive than doorbell.
