Nurse call
The monitor can be connected to a Nurse Call system through a cable that connects to
the Nurse Call connector.
When the Nurse Call cable is connected and Nurse Call is enabled, the monitor notifies
the Nurse Call system when an alarm that exceeds the preset threshold occurs. Nurse
Call notification persists until one of the following occurs on the monitor:
•
The alarm clears.
• You reset (pause or turn off) the alarm tone.
For paused alarms, Nurse Call notification returns after the pause interval if the condition
that caused the alarm persists.
Nurse Call thresholds are set in the Advanced Settings.
To connect the monitor to a Nurse Call system, you must have a cable that has been
adapted to your Nurse Call system (REF 6000-NC), rated 50V DC maximum at 500mA
(DC or ACRMS). For ordering information, see Approved Accessories in the Appendix.
WARNING
The monitor is the primary alarming source for the patient, and
any external system (such as a Nurse Call or software system) is a backup
alarm source. The external system is only as reliable as its components
(e.g., wiring, hardware, light bulbs, connections) and can be relied on only
as a backup alarming device.
