Roomstat Systems can be used for multiple purposes such as a room status, staff locator, silent paging or emergency call system. At Crest we custom-design them to meet your exact requirements. There are many configurations available.
The Roomstat electrically-operated signaling station consists of switches mounted on a standard electrical box and trimmed with a wall plate for a clean look. Buttons illuminate upon actuation, along with corresponding buttons on the Master Control Panel and lamps in corridor pilots. Master control panels have a flush mount design.
Roomstat Systems are easy to install, so they can be put into use immediately. Switch schematics and wiring diagram examples are available. Choose from standard, 3-way or 4-way switching.
Crest Healthcare Supply is one of very few suppliers that offer these custom solutions. Contact Crest today to configure a Roomstat system to fit your facility. The Crest Technical Support team will help you determine the system setup and components that you’ll need.

How often does your staff hear this from your residents? With most momentary call cords the resident receives little or no assurance that they used the device correctly until the help they summoned actually walks through their door. Crest’s new DuraCall Call Cords with Call Activation Indicator feature two red LEDs inside the pendant that light up when the button is pressed to reassure residents that they’ve used it effectively. In addition to this visual feedback, all DuraCall Call Cords also offer a tactile “click” when the button is pushed.
Crest Healthcare Supply is excited to announce that DuraCall™ Call Cords with Call Activation Indicator™ are now available for most ¼” phone plug nurse call systems in 7 and 10 ft styles. The product features two red LEDs inside the pendant that light up when the button is depressed.
DuraCall Call Cords are durable, water resistant and built to outlast and out-perform other call cords. They have been driven over, dunked in water and dropped during our product testing to ensure longer life and less maintenance. DuraCall Call Cords are easy to hold and feature a raised red button for high visibility and easy activation by any user.
DuraCall Call Cords are guaranteed in stock or ground shipping is free. Call Crest at 1-800-328-8908 for more information on the new Call Activation Indicator feature.
