Welch Allyn Vital Signs Monitor 300 Series

To connect the monitor to a Nurse Call system, you must have a cable (Welch Allyn part
number 008-0634-XX or equivalent) that has been adapted to your Nurse Call system. This
cable can be built or customized by a biomedical engineering department or other
appropriate technical resource, using the specification described on

“Nurse call”

on

page 73.

WARNING Although the Nurse Call option enables remote notification of an
alarm condition, it is not intended to replace appropriate bedside patient
surveillance by trained clinicians.

Note

When a patient alarm occurs, pressing

silences the monitor alarm tone and

the Nurse Call alarm for 90 seconds, but does not suspend the visual alarm
indicator on the monitor.
