Proper Temperature Probe Positioning
Oral Temperature Taking
Insert the probe tip under the tongue on one side or the other. Ask
the patient to close their mouth. Hold the probe in place until there
is a long beep and the temperature reading is displayed.
Axillary Temperature Taking
With the patient's arm uplifted, place the probe tip into the patient's
armpit, directly on the skin. Ask the patient to lower their arm and
hold still. Hold the probe perpendicular to the arm until there is a
long beep and the temperature reading is displayed.

5.5 Nurse Call
The Nurse Call function will send a signal to the nurse call system
when a patient's vital signs exceed a pre-set alarm limit. To activate
this function, the monitor must be connected to the hospital's nur-
se call system. Please use the provided the nurse-call connection
cable.
The Nurse Call function will only operate under these concurrent
conditions:

6. Alarms
Alarms are prompts given by the monitor for medical personnel
through visual, audible and other means when either a vital sign
appears to be abnormal or a technical problem occurs.

6.1 Alarm Categories
The monitor's alarms can be classified into three categories: physi-
ologic alarms, technical alarms and prompt messages.
Lower
alarm
Physiologic alarms: Physiologic alarms are triggered by a monito-
limit
red parameter value (i.e., the DIA blood pressure value) that violates
set alarm limits. Physiologic alarm messages are displayed in the
Mode
physiologic alarm area.
Technical alarms: Technical alarms are triggered by a device mal-
function due to improper operation or system problems. The pro-
blems may result in system abnormal operation. Technical alarm
messages are displayed in the technical alarm area.
Prompt messages: As a matter of fact, prompt messages are not
alarm messages. Apart from the physiological and technical alarm
messages, the monitor will show some message to indicate the sys-
tem status.
For any countries where no legal regulations exist for monito-
ring instruments, it is recommended to examine the accuracy
of measuring instruments in 2-year intervals
If the temperature exceeds the measurement range, the
alarm will be activated. Check whether the temperature probe
is placed on the patient's appropriate site.
Damaged or outdated probes should be repaired or replaced
immediately.

[ALARM] > [Nurse Call threshold] to set the alarm level at
which the nurse will be called (i.e., low, middle or high).
Select [SETTINGS] > [ADVANCED] > [GENERAL] >

[Normally close] or [Normally open].
Select[SETTINGS] > [ADVANCED] > [GENERAL] >
[ALARM] > [Nurse Call trigger mode] to set the trigger
mode to be [continual] or [1s pause].
Warning: The Nurse Call function should not be used as
the primary means of patient monitoring. The care team
should evaluate alarms in combination with observations
of the patient's symptoms and overall physiological con-
dition.
Note:
• The monitor generates all audible and visual alarms
through a speaker, LED lights and the display. When
the monitor powers on, the alarm LEDs will light once
and the speaker will beep, which indicates that the
alarm system is working properly.
• Alarm settings are saved in real time, and then stored
in the memory of the device. After a loss of power,
the last stored settings will be shown after restarting
the monitor.
Warning: Do not set the alarm limits to extreme values
that can render the alarm system useless. Vital signs
alarm limits are pre-set by the manufacturer, but be sure
to choose clinically appropriate limits for the patient. Only
when the selected patient type is different from the last
one, the alarm limits will return to factory defaults.
