Passport 12/Passport 8 23-3
23.5 Nurse Call
The monitor provides a nurse call connector to output nurse call signal when a user-defined 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 then select [Pulse] or [Continuous].
[Pulse]: the nurse call signal is a pulse signal and each pulse lasts one second. When multiple alarms occur
simultaneously, only one pulse signal is output. If an alarm occurs but the previous one is not cleared, a new
pulse signal will also be output.
[Continuous]: the nurse call signal lasts until the alarm ends, i.e. the duration of a nurse call signal is equal to
that of the alarm condition.
Select [Contact Type] and then select [Normally Open] or [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 silence status.
WARNING
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.
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.
NOTE
If no setting is selected from [Alm Lev] or [Alarm Cat.], no nurse call signal will be triggered whatever alarms
occur.
