22.3 Nurse Call
The patient monitor also provides nurse call signals to a nurse call system connected to the
monitor via the Auxiliary Output Connector. To obtain nurse call signals, connect a nurse call
system to 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 [Auxiliary Output] and then select [Nurse Call].
4. Select [Nurse Call Setup] to change the nurse call settings as follows:
îš„ Select [Signal Type] and toggle between [Pulse] and [Continuous].
îš‹ [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.
îš‹ [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.
îš„ 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.
îš„ Select [Alm Lev] and set the alarm level for nurse call-triggering alarms.
îš„ Select [Alarm Cat.] and then select the category to which the nurse call-triggering
alarms belong.
Alarm conditions are indicated to nurses only when:
îš„ The nurse call system is enabled,
îš„ An alarm that meets your preset requirements occurs, and
îš„ The monitor is not in the alarm paused or silence status.
