Effortless Wireless Bed Connectivity. No Cords. No Compromises.
How It Works
BlueJack replaces your traditional bed cables with a wireless adapter that transmits bed status data directly to your nurse call system. It’s designed for durability, instant reconnection, and seamless integration – no more broken cords or risky downtime.
- Eliminates broken cords and daily disconnects, giving nurses a safer, smoother workflow without constant troubleshooting.
- Connects any bed to any nurse call system, enabling wireless flexibility without replacing existing infrastructure.
- Transmits critical life-safety alerts wirelessly and reliably, even if the bed isn’t plugged in. For hospitals that require additional signals, BlueJack can be used in parallel with a 37-pin cable to maintain full coverage.
BlueJack Features
Universal Compatibility
Connect any bed to any nurse call system — no infrastructure replacement needed.
Automated Safety
Wireless pairing ensures fall alarms and safety alerts always get through, without staff having to lift a finger.
Informed Care Team
Display real-time bed status and alerts via HallMonitor™, staff phones, or central dashboards.
Which statuses does BlueJack transmit?
Bed exit alarm, emergency call button, and whether or not the bed itself is connected.
Are batteries required?
No – the BlueJack bed unit receives power directly from the bed’s power connection.
Can a 37-pin cable be used in parallel to BlueJack?
Yes – a 37-pin cable can be optionally connected through BlueJack to transmit full wired data.
Which beds & nurse call systems does BlueJack support?
BlueJack is compatible with most beds (HillRom, Stryker, Umano, Linet) and most nurse call systems (Responder 4 & 5, HillRom, Westcom, Jeron, and others).
How does the wireless connection work?
BlueJack uses a line-of-sight infrared ping similar to a TV remote to establish location and trigger pairing between the wall and the bed unit – after which it forms a direct bluetooth connection to transmit the data – fully hands free & automatic.
What happens if it is a double room?
BlueJack will auto-pair to the first unpaired wall receiver it detects. If unintentionally cross-connected, press the button on the wall unit to unpair and the bed unit will re-pair to the aligned wall unit.
