Warning
Before using the Nurse Call system, ensure that its connections are secure and it operates
properly. For more information, contact Covidien.
To connect the ventilator to a Nurse Call device, contact Covidien to check the ventilator's
compatibility with the Nurse Call device and order a suitable connection cable.
Do not use Nurse Call devices that operate based on the closure of an electrical circuit, because
the devices often do not take into account possible cable disconnection or a total loss of power.
Ensure that the Nurse Call device is always connected to the ventilator.
