How would you translate "Nurse Call light"

I am translating a patient safety brochure for a hospital into Spanish, I speak it pretty fluently, but this one has me stumped.

How would you guys translate "(please turn on the) Nurse Call Light"

It refers to the button in a patient's room that alerts the nurses when they are needed in a room.

Everything I come up with sounds quite ugly. I'm trying to translate the idea of the object rather than the exact words but no luck so far!

Estoy traduciendo al español un folleto sobre seguridad del paciente para un hospital. ¡Hablo español con relativa fluidez, pero esto me deja perplejo!

¿Cómo traducirían ustedes "(Favor de encender la) Nurse Call Light? raspberry

Refiere al botón en la habitación del paciente que alerte a las enfermeras cuando se necesiten en la habitación.

¡Cada cosa que pruebo suena muy fea! Trato de traducir la idea del objeto en vez de las palabras exactas, pero no tengo suerte hasta el momento!

See this definition:

Do we have any members who's mother tongue is Spanish and can confirm (or reject) this possibility? If so, please add a reply in the "Add Comments" area of this answer.
