Warnings and Cautions
• The nurse call feature should not be used as the primary
source of alarm notification. The audible and visual
alarms of the Alaris
®
System, used in conjunction with
clinical signs and symptoms, are the primary sources
providing notification that an alarm condition exists.
• Before each use , ensure the nurse call cable is fully
inserted into the jack, and test the operation of the nurse
call system by causing an alarm and verifying proper nurse
call operation.
WARNINGS
• To assure compliance with Electromagnetic
Compatibility Standards (
IEC 60601-1-2
), the nurse call
option must only be used with a properly configured
hospital interface cable assembly. The approved hospital
nurse call interface cable consists of an
MCM
Electronics
24–660
cable with an attached Fair-Rite Suppressor Core
Assembly,
P/N 0443167251
. The Fair-Rite part is included
with the Nurse Call Accessory. Refer to the cable
assembly instructions, included with the Nurse Call
Accessory, for additional information.
• When moving the PC Unit , ensure the nurse call cable is
disconnected from the nurse call jack on the PC Unit and
the fluid seal covers the jack opening.
• Carefully route cabling to reduce the possibility of
entanglement that could result in a tripping hazard.
