A fire in a hospital is one of the worst thing that could happen. Therefore, the evacuation of patients and staff is of utmost importance, which is a great challenge, considering the immobility of most patients. The main goals of such an evacuation are:

• Enable a smooth evacuation
• Prevent panic
• Prevent smoke poisoning

The effectiveness of clear, unambiguous communication in a crisis scenario is impressively demonstrated in the case of fire. An electro acoustic or voice-controlled alarm and evacuation system using loudspeakers and phones, which is triggered by the fire alarm system, is the best solution for everyone in any situation like this. Unmistakable fire alarm signals, via loudspeakers and phones (rather than horns or bells), with their explicit instructions and reassuring rules for conduct, help to avoid outbreaks of panic and the ensuing chaos. Another critical feature common to all our alarm and evacuation systems is the fact that the technology behind them, without exception, represents the state of the art. A range of advanced components must meet the most exacting requirements in terms of reliability, safety and flexibility. And in order to cover any contingency, our systems function equally well on standby power supplies. Last but not least, loudspeakers, amplifiers, language storage devices, control processors and cabling all have built-in redundancy.
