Similarly, if you're an actor on stage at a theatre and you spot a fire,you have to say something like 'duplicitous chips' or some other phrase that wouldnt commonly be heard in your lines, so as to alert others backstage but not necessarily alarm the audience, should it be something controllable that they need not know about. | But it's not for in the wards. It's for in the lab blocks where there are no patients. The patients get a standard fire alarm.
