Ackermann Addressable Corridor Light - Model 72591D

Why Upgrade? From Simple Blinking to Intelligent Signaling

In high-stakes healthcare environments, a simple flashing light is insufficient. The Ackermann Addressable Corridor Light, Model 72591D, transforms generic visual alerts into intelligent, prioritized signals. As a core component of the Systevo IP Nurse Call System, the 72591D is designed not just to flash, but to communicate the location and priority of a patient’s call visually along hospital corridors.

This upgrade from basic illumination to smart signaling ensures that nursing staff can instantly assess the severity and source of an alarm without needing to consult a central display, drastically improving response flow and reducing critical time delays.

Direct Impact on Operations: Intelligent Signal Differentiation

The primary function of the 72591D is to act as a visual queue manager, directing staff efficiently and minimizing alert confusion.

1. Prioritization via Color Coding

The unit is typically equipped with multi-colored LEDs (often red, yellow, and green/white) capable of displaying different illumination states (solid, flashing slowly, flashing rapidly).

• Red (Emergency/Urgent Call): Indicates the highest level of urgency (e.g., Cardiac Arrest, Emergency Call from a Pull Cord). Staff recognize this color instantly as a critical, immediate response required.

• Yellow/Orange (Standard/Toilet Call): Indicates a standard patient request or a call from a medium-risk area like a bathroom. This guides staff based on non-life-threatening priority.

• Green/White (Staff Presence/Service): May indicate the nurse has entered the room, or signal a service request (e.g., cleaning, medication delivery).

2. Pinpoint Location and Signal Integrity

The Addressable (72591D) nature of the light is its most vital feature for operational efficiency.

• Room-Specific Identity: Each 72591D unit possesses a unique digital address on the Systevo Data Bus (DBUS), confirming the exact room initiating the alarm. This eliminates confusion when multiple alarms occur simultaneously in adjacent rooms.

• VDE 0834 Compliance: The light's signaling behavior (color, flash rate, and sound - if equipped) is configured to meet the mandatory VDE 0834 standard, ensuring that visual indicators are universally understood and reliable across the facility.

Architectural Fit: Installation and Integration

The 72591D is engineered for robust integration and easy maintenance in high-traffic clinical areas.

• Simple Bus Integration: The unit connects directly to the Nurse Call Data Bus (DBUS), simplifying wiring and reducing installation time compared to legacy systems requiring individual wiring for each color and function.

• High Visibility Design: Designed with a wide, durable casing and powerful LEDs to ensure the signal is clearly visible from a distance down the corridor, even in brightly lit environments.

• Flexible Mounting: Suitable for easy mounting above patient room doors, providing the universal standard location for visual call alerts.
