22.4 Nurse Call
The patient monitor provides a nurse call connector to output nurse call signal when a
userdefined alarm occurs. To obtain nurse call signal, use the nurse call cable ( PN:
009-003116-00 ) we supply to connect the hospital nurse call system to the nurse call
connector of the monitor and then follow this procedure:
1. Select [ Main Menu ][ Maintenance >> ][ User Maintenance >> ]enter the
required password.
2. Select [
Others >>
] to access the [
Others
] menu.
3. Select [ Nurse Call Setup >> ] to change the nurse call settings as follows:
„
Select [
Signal Type
] and toggle between [
Pulse
] and [
Continuous
].
‹
[ Pulse ]: the nurse call signals are pulse signals and each pulse lasts 1 second. When
multiple alarms occur simultaneously, only one pulse signal is outputted. If an
alarm occurs but the previous one is not cleared yet, a new pulse signal will also be
outputted.
‹
[
Continuous
]: the nurse call signal lasts until the alarm ends, i.e. the duration of a
nurse call signal equals to that of the alarm condition.
„
Select [
Contact Type
] and toggle between [
Normally Open
] and [
Normally Closed
].
‹
[ Normally Open ]: select if your hospital’s nurse call relay contact is normally
open.
‹
[ Normally Closed ]: select if your hospital’s nurse call relay contact is normally
closed.
„
Select [ Alm Lev ] and set the alarm level for nurse call-triggering alarms.
„
Select [ Alarm Cat .] and then select the category to which the nurse call-triggering
alarms belong.
Alarm conditions are indicated to nurses only when:
„
The nurse call system is enabled,
„
An alarm that meets your preset requirements occurs, and
„
The monitor is not in the alarm paused or reset status.
WARNING
z
To obtain the nurse call signal, use the nurse call cable ( PN: 009-003116-00 ) we
supply. Otherwise the nurse call function will not work and the monitor may be
damaged.
z
Do not rely exclusively on the nurse call system for alarm notification. Remember
that the most reliable alarm notification combines audible and visual alarm
indications with the patient’s clinical condition.
