Anyone know how to monitor the wireless hospital nurse call phones that are used in retail systems also.

Around here I can receive them from 15 miles away with a stock antenna. They have a VHF frequency. I've listened on occasion but it's never too exciting. "Bed roll over, room 214." "Anyone wanna work an extra shift tonight?"

Oh, and welcome to RadioReference.

The phones we use (I am an RN) at our facility are spread spectrum digital. This system has to be secure due to the sensitive nature of the information that is passed along over the phone. Think HIPPA.

Scripps hospital in California uses these :)
I loved saying "Goodbye" and "Beam me up Scotty" on the device :D

Aren’t these badges like the communicators worn in the sci-fi series “Star Trek”?
Yes, and Vocera badges will respond with transporter sound effects when given the voice
command: “Beam me up” or “Beam me up, Scotty.” Sorry, transporter beams are not
available at this time.

Memorial also uses the Vocera system, a communications device that uses voice-recognition capability and operates via a hospital's wireless network. The device clips to a clinician's jacket or lab coat, allowing a nurse or physician to quickly communicate. Two Memorial hospitals use the system, with a third to implement it this year.

Many of them operate illegally on FRS/GMRS Frequencies. :mad:

Found a few in the Metro Boston Area.


If they're on frs/gmrs then it's probably not the vocera system.

Most of the one's I have seen and worked on in the Greater Boston area are Ciscor Systems

Nurse Call Systems - CISCOR

They operate on a regular assigned UHF or VHF Frequency assigned to the facility

There are SO MANY different types out there that it's impossible to tell you a definitive answer without providing specific models of equipment (the most helpful information would be the FCC Type Acceptance number). All of the answers are right. And, one more that "might" be it: DECT. Have you asked someone in Biomed?
