Modification of the existing Responder 5 nurse call system BACKGROUND After deployment of new Stryker beds, VA San Diego experienced persistent problems with the Responder 5 nurse call system. Whenever the Responder 5 nurse call system malfunctioned in these rooms, patients would have to be redistributed to other rooms, as patients could not alert clinical staff when they needed assistance. The malfunctions primarily happened in 4-patient rooms, which meant that 4 beds were no longer available for patient use until the Responder 5 nurse call system was brought back online. This issue was occurring multiple times a day, essentially forcing these rooms to be closed for patient use. It was determined that the new beds were drawing additional power from the Responder 5 nurse call system, which was causing the malfunctioning. The long-term fix to this issue is to install an additional domeless controller in each of the affected patient rooms, which will split the power draw of 4 beds across 2 controllers (a dome light and a domeless controller), instead of 1. SCOPE OF WORK Vendor will provide services to upgrade the existing Responder 5 nurse call system installation. Vendor will add domeless controllers to the following 4 patient bedrooms: 3rd Floor/ Rooms: 3360, 3369, 3355, 3345. 5th Floor/ Rooms: 5244, 5235, 5226, 5217. This will allow to split nurse call system to be utilized as two beds per controller instead of 4 beds for a single controller. This will help prevent the nurse call system for overloading. The Vendor shall provide all labor, supervision, materials, parts, and transportation required to maintain and repair Nurse call system.
