5.4.1 Nurse Call Interface
 WARNING:
Do not use the nurse call feature as the primary source of alarm notification.
The audible and visual alarms of the monitoring system, used in conjunction
with clinical signs and symptoms, are the primary sources for notifying
medical personnel that an alarm condition exists.
 WARNING:
The nurse call feature does not function with Alarm Audio Paused.
 Caution:
Test the nurse call function prior to use, especially when setting up the
monitoring system in a new location. One way to test the nurse call function
is to create an alarm condition (for example, sensor disconnect) and verify the
nurse call system properly activates.
 Note:
Communication (Nurse Call Interface) is limited to inside a single institution.
The nurse call feature of the monitoring system works in conjunction with the
nurse call system of the institution when the monitoring system sounds an
audible alarm. It is operational regardless of whether the monitoring system
uses AC power or battery power, as long as a proper connection between the
nurse call port and the host system exists.
