Indigocare

Essec Group, the mother company of IndigoCare International, has been a system integrator of nurse call, notification systems and telecom since 1977. Its first own development in 1998 was the Netrix Notification gateway, integrating all nurse call and alarm systems towards paging-, mobile-, and dect-handsets. Netrix is in todays version one of the most flexible notification systems available on the market. IndigoCare has always moved ahead in new applications to improve staff efficiency.

In 2005, no nurse call manufacturer was moving ahead in new applications so we decided to create our own nurse call system: iCall, a complete healthcare communication solution based on the open IP-standard and fit to use on old nurse call cabling infrastructure, according to the German VDE standard. With a specific EU range for the EMEA region as well as a UL range for the Americas. The first system being installed in 2007. We were able to start from scratch: no history of old product ranges or old components. With a lot of IP experience coming from the world of Ethernet we developed a complete new approach in nurse call with a distributed architecture based on pure IP. Therefore, we are literally the inventors of Full IP nursecall.

iCall suits every environment

iCall is the first nurse call system in the world based on the open IP-standard.

Its distributed architecture ensures the highest degree of flexibility without any limitation. Because of its flexible topology iCall can be implemented in new constructions or renovations, using existing cable infrastructure. All types of call units can be combined into a single system: Wired or wireless, monitored or standard. Any existing call system can be extended with iCall. Furthermore, any type of alarm system, fire alarm installation and communication system can be fully integrated.
