Biomedicum visit system
When your visitor arrives
The visitor registers in the terminal.
The system will call you from the number 80133 (consider adding the number to your contact list in your mobile for future occasions/visits), with the following message: "XXX väntar på dig i receptionen, var god tryck 1 för att bekräfta eller 2 för att tala med gästen!" ("XXX is waiting for you at the reception, please press 1 to confirm or 2 to speak to the guest!").
Please note that the messages are in Swedish and can unfortunately not be changed into any other language.
There are two options:
- If you want to confirm the visitor, press 1 and hang up. The visitor is then confirmed and a visitor badge is printed. The visit is logged into the system and you can come and meet your visitor at the reception, floor 3. 2. You can talk to your visitor by pressing
- You will then hear a new instruction: "Ni kan nu tala med gästen. Efter avslutat samtal var god tryck 1 om gästen skall registreras". (“You can now talk to your guest. Once you hang up, press 1 and your guest will be registered in the system”.
You are responsible for your guests and for answering the phone whenever you are expecting a visitor.
Pre-registration of guests
If you are expecting a group of visitors, you can pre-register your guests in advance via the Check-In function.
- Log in with your KI-ID
- Fill in the name and date/time of your visitors
When your visitor leaves
When your meeting is over, you can either follow your visitor back to the reception, or the visitor can let himself/herself out using the QR-code to open a speedgate. The guest will need to scan their visitor's badge to check out of the system, and return the plastic pocket at the reception desk.
The visit system is equipped with a button you can use if you need to call the security guard on duty. This could be useful if you are in the building during evenings or week-ends and the security guard is on a round.
