UL 1637 Ed. 5-2017

Standard for Home Health Care Signaling Equipment - Published Date: July 21, 2022

These requirements cover the individual units that comprise a home health care system intended for use in ordinary indoor residential locations. These requirements also cover a complete home health care system in which a signal initiating device (both routine monitoring and medical emergency signals) may be connected directly or indirectly to receiving equipment at a residence or to continuously monitored receiving equipment at a central supervising station. The system is arranged so that a predetermined change in the status of the signal initiating circuits or devices automatically causes transmission of a signal over a communication channel to receiving equipment at a residence, to a central supervising station, or to a private telephone number. The components of the home health care system may include signal initiating devices, control units, transmitters, and digital communicators, all located at the residence, and the receiving, processing, and displaying equipment located at the central supervising station.
