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.
Another two options, [Alm Lev] and [Alarm Cat.], must be set in configuration mode. [Alm
Lev] defines the alarm level for nurse call-triggering alarms, and [Alarm Cat.] defines the
category within which the nurse call-triggering alarms fall.
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 silence status.
NOTE
z If no setting is selected from [Alm Lev] or [Alarm Cat.], no nurse call signal will be
triggered whatever alarms occur.
WARNING
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.
