Simple to use in the right setting.

No software, wiring, central monitoring, or IT integration is required.

CallBall supports communication. It does not replace nurse call systems, monitoring, rounding, observation, or safety protocols.

Where Call Ball Fits

Emergency Department Hallways

A visual way for appropriate patients on hallway stretchers to request assistance.

Overflow and Open-Bay Care

Communication support in temporary or shared care spaces without traditional call access.

Waiting and Transport Holding

A way for appropriate patients awaiting care, imaging, procedures, or transport to signal for assistance within staff sight lines.

Chairs and Wheelchairs

CallBall can be positioned near seated patients where its light remains visible to staff.

Placement matters

The care team determines whether CallBall fits the patient and setting. Patients must be able to understand and activate the device, and staff must have a clear view of the illuminated alert.
