Safety information for using the nurse
call
WARNING
Risk of nurse call failure
Carina can be integrated into a distributed
alarm system by means of the nurse call inter-
face. According to IEC 60601-1-8, this distrib-
uted alarm system is not suitable for secure
transmission of alarms. Thus data transfer by
means of the nurse call is not a substitute for
regular checking of the notifications on the
device screen.
All display devices in this distributed alarm
system must be provided with a warning
which indicates that secure receipt of alarm
signals cannot be ensured.
CAUTION
Risk of nurse call failure
A connection failure between the device and the
central hospital alarm system may interrupt the
transmission of information.
Regularly check the information on the screen of
the device.
CAUTION
Risk due to limited patient monitoring
The nurse call does not forward all alarm mes-
sages. Do not use the nurse call as the sole
source of alarm information.
Regularly check the information on the screen of
the device. Check alarms on the device directly.

CAUTION
Have the nurse call system connected by service
personnel only.

CAUTION
Risk of electric shock
If a faulty device without safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) is connected to the medical device, there
is a risk of electric shock from the housing of the
medical device.
Only connect devices with safety extra-low volt-
age (SELV) to the connections for the serial port
and the nurse call.
Use only the nurse call cable 5704906 from Dräger.
Observe corresponding instructions for use.
Have the nurse call cable connected to the line
of the central hospital alarm system by service
personnel.
