REP
The Rad-8 Compact pulse oximeter is designed to minimize the possibility of hazards from
errors in the software program by following sound engineering design processes, risk analysis
and software validation.
■
Explosion hazard. Do not use the pulse oximeter in the presence of flammable anes-
thetics or other flammable substance in combination with air, oxygen-enriched environ-
ments, or nitrous oxide.
■
High intensity extreme lights (such as pulsating strobe lights) directed on the sensor,
may not allow the pulse oximeter to obtain vital sign readings.
■
The pulse oximeter is NOT intended for use as an apnea monitor.
■
A pulse oximeter should be considered an early warning device. As a trend towards
patient hypoxemia is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by laboratory
instruments to completely understand the patient’s condition.
■
The pulse oximeter is to be operated by qualified personnel only. This manual, acces-
sory directions for use, all precautionary information, and specifications should be
read and understood before use.
■
Electric shock hazard. Do not open the pulse oximeter cover except to replace the
battery of the unit. Only a qualified operator may perform maintenance procedures
specifically described in this manual. Refer servicing to Masimo for repair of this
equipment.
■
Only a qualified operator may perform maintenance procedures specifically described
in this manual. Refer servicing to Masimo for repair of this equipment.
■
As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility
of patient entanglement or strangulation.
■
Do not place the pulse oximeter or accessories in any position that might cause it to
fall on the patient. Do not lift the pulse oximeter by the patient cable.
■
Interfering Substances: Carboxyhemoglobin and Methemoglobin may erroneously
increase readings. The level of increase is approximately equal to the amount of car-
boxyhemoglobin present. Dyes, or any substance containing dyes, that change usual
blood pigmentation may cause erroneous readings.
■
Severe anemia may cause erroneous SpO2 readings.
■
Do not use the pulse oximeter or oximetry sensors during magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) scanning. Induced current could potentially cause burns. The pulse
oximeter may affect the MRI image, and the MRI unit may affect the accuracy of the
oximetry measurements.
■
If using pulse oximetry during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the irradiation
field. If sensor is exposed to the irradiation, the reading might be inaccurate or the unit
might read zero for the duration of the active irradiation period.
■
Always remove the sensor from the patient and completely disconnect the patient
from the pulse oximeter before bathing the patient.
■
Do not place the pulse oximeter where the controls can be changed by the patient.
■
Do not place the pulse oximeter face against a surface. This will cause the alarm to
be muffled.

■
Do not place the pulse oximeter on electrical equipment that may affect the pulse
oximeter, preventing it from working properly.
■
Do not expose the pulse oximeter to excessive moisture such as direct exposure to
rain. Excessive moisture can cause the pulse oximeter to perform inaccurately or fail.
■
Do not place containers containing liquids on or near the pulse oximeter. Liquids
spilled on the pulse oximeter may cause it to perform inaccurately or fail.
■
Failure of Operation - If the pulse oximeter fails any part of the setup procedures remove the
pulse oximeter from operation until qualified service personnel have corrected the situation.
■
Patient Safety - If a sensor or cable is damaged in any way, discontinue use
immediately.
■
Disposal of product - Comply with local laws in the disposal of the unit and/or its
accessories.
■
The pulse oximeter can be used during defibrillation, but the readings may be inac-
curate for up to 20 seconds.
■
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical
devices to the EN 60601-1-2: 2002, Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical
medical installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to other devices, which can be determined by turning the equip-
ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
■ Reorient or relocate the receiving device.
■ Increase the separation between the equipment.
■ Consult the manufacturer for help.
■
A functional tester cannot be utilized to assess the accuracy of the pulse oximeter or
any sensors.

FUNCTIONAL VS. FRACTIONAL SATURATION
The Rad-8 is calibrated to measure and display functional saturation which is the amount of
oxygenated hemoglobin expressed as a percentage of the hemoglobin that can transport
oxygen. The Rad-8 does not measure fractional saturation which is oxygenated hemo-
globin expressed as a percentage of all measured hemoglobin. This includes measured
dysfunctional hemoglobin such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin. To convert
fractional saturation to functional saturation, the fractional saturation measurements must
be converted according to:
Functional saturation =
Fractional saturation
x 100
100 - (% carboxyhemoglobin + % methemoglobin)
MEASURED VS. CALCULATED SATURATION
Oxygen saturation measurements obtained from a pulse oximeter are commonly com-
pared to saturations calculated from the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) obtained from
an arterial blood gas sample. When comparing the two measurements and interpreting
values, caution should be used, as the calculated value obtained from the blood gas
sample may differ from the SpO2 measurement of the pulse oximeter. Different results are
usually obtained from the blood gas sample if the calculated saturation is not appropriately
corrected for the effects of variables that shift the relationship between PO2 and satura-
tion, such as: pH, temperature, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), 2,3-DPG,
and fetal hemoglobin. Also, as blood gas samples are usually taken over a period of 20
seconds (the time it takes to draw blood) a meaningful comparison can only be achieved if
the core oxygen saturation of the patient is stable and not changing over the period of time
that the blood gas sample is taken.
MASIMO SET SIGNAL EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGY
Masimo Signal Extraction Technology’s signal processing differs from conventional pulse
oximeters. Conventional pulse oximeters assume that arterial blood is the only blood mov-
ing (pulsating) in the measurement site. During patient motion, however, the non-arterial
blood also moves, causing conventional pulse oximeters to read low values, because they
cannot distinguish between the arterial and venous blood movement (sometimes referred
to as noise). Masimo SET pulse oximetry utilizes parallel engines and adaptive digital
filtering. Adaptive filters are powerful because they are able to adapt to the varying physi-
ologic signals and/or noise and separate them by looking at the whole signal and breaking
it down to its fundamental components. The Masimo SET signal processing algorithm,
Discrete Saturation Transform
® (DST)
®, reliably identifies the noise, isolates it and, using
adaptive filters, cancels it. It then reports the true arterial oxygen saturation for display on
the monitor.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Pulse oximetry is a continuous and non-invasive method of measuring the level of arterial
oxygen saturation in blood. The measurement is taken by placing a sensor on a patient,
usually on the fingertip for adults, and the hand or foot for neonates. The sensor connects
to the pulse oximetry instrument directly or with a patient cable. The sensor collects signal
data from the patient and sends it to the instrument. The instrument displays the calculated
data in two ways:
1.
As a percent value for arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and
2.
As a pulse rate (PR).
The following figure shows the general monitoring setup.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Pulse oximetry is governed by the following principles:
1.
Oxyhemoglobin (oxygenated blood) and deoxyhemoglobin (non-oxygenated blood)
differ in their absorption of red and infrared light (spectrophotometry).
2.
The amount of arterial blood in tissue changes with your pulse (photoplethysogra-
phy). Therefore, the amount of light absorbed by the varying quantities of arterial
blood changes as well.
The Rad-8 pulse oximeter uses a two-wavelength pulsatile system to distinguish between
oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. Signal data is obtained by passing red (rd) (660 nm
wavelength) and infrared (ir) (905 nm wavelength) light through a capillary bed (for example
a fingertip, a hand or a foot) and measuring changes in light absorption during the pulsatile
cycle. This information may be useful to clinicians. The radiant power of the light is rated
at 0.79mW (max.). See figure below. The Rad-8 utilizes a sensor with red and infrared
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that pass light through the site to a photodiode (photodetec-
tor). The photodetector receives the light, converts it into an electronic signal and sends it
to the Rad-8 for calculation.
Once the Rad-8 receives the signal from the sensor, it utilizes Masimo SET signal extrac-
tion technology for calculation of the patient’s functional oxygen saturation and pulse rate.
The maximum of the skin surface temperature is measured at an ambient temperature of
less than 106º F (41º C).This is verified by Masimo sensor skin temperature test proce-
dures.

2. Connect a patient cable or a direct connect sensor to the Patient Cable Connector
of the Rad-8 pulse oximeter. Make sure it is a firm connection and the cable is not
twisted, sliced or frayed.
3.
If utilizing a patient cable, select a sensor that is compatible with the oximeter and
the patient before connecting it to the patient cable. See Section 8, Sensors and
Patient Cables. If using a reusable sensor, make sure it opens and closes smooth-
ly. Remove any substances that may interfere with the transmission of light between
the sensor’s light source and photodetector.
4. Refer to the Directions for Use of the sensor before attaching the sensor to the
patient. If using a single patient adhesive or disposable sensor, check that the emit-
ter (red light) and the photodetector are properly aligned.
5. With a single patient adhesive or disposable sensor, connect the sensor to the
patient cable with the logos lining up; make sure it is a firm connection.
6.
Press the Power button to turn the oximeter on.
7.
Verify all front-panel indicators momentarily illuminate and a tone is heard.
8. Verify the front-panel display is free of alarm and system failure messages (see
Section 5, Alarms and Messages).
9.
Verify the display shows the following:
■
Mode setting: Standard (Std) or Sleep (SLP) or Home (Hnn)
■
SpO2 Low Alarm Limit and SpO2 High Alarm Limit,
■
Pulse Rate Low Alarm Limit and Pulse Rate High Alarm Limit,
■
Averaging Time.
10. On the display, verify the readings for SpO2 and pulse rate.
NOTE: “- - -” will flash on the numeric display until the SpO2 and pulse rate readings
have stabilized (approximately 10 seconds).
■
IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE PROTECTIVE EARTH CON-
DUCTOR ARRANGEMENT, OPERATE THE OXIMETER ON INTERNAL BATTERY POWER
UNTIL THE AC POWER SUPPLY PROTECTIVE CONDUCTOR IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL.
■
TO ENSURE PATIENT ELECTRICAL ISOLATION, CONNECT ONLY TO OTHER
EQUIPMENT WITH ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED CIRCUITS.
■
DO NOT CONNECT TO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET CONTROLLED BY A WALL SWITCH OR
DIMMER.

NUMERIC DISPLAY - PULSE RATE
The Pulse Rate displayed on the Rad-8 may differ slightly from the heart rate displayed
on ECG monitors due to differences in averaging times. There may also be a discrepancy
between cardiac electrical activity and peripheral arterial pulsation. Significant differences
may indicate a problem with the signal quality due to physiological changes in the patient
or one of the instruments or application of the sensor or patient cable. The pulsations
from intra-aortic balloon support can be additive to the pulse rate displayed on the pulse
oximeter.
S u c c e s s f u l S p O 2 m o n i t o r i n g
The following general points will aid in ensuring oximetry monitoring success.
■
Place the sensor on a site that is not too thick, has sufficient perfusion and provides
proper alignment of the LED’s and photodetector.
■
Place the sensor on a site that has unrestricted blood flow.
■
Do not select a site near potential electrical interference (electrosurgical unit, for
example).
■
Read the sensor Directions for Use for proper sensor application.
NUMERIC DISPLAY - SpO2
Stability of the SpO2 readings may be a good indicator of signal validity. Although stability
is a relative term, experience will provide a good feeling for changes that are artifactual or
physiological and the speed, timing, and behavior of each. The stability of the readings
over time is affected by the averaging mode being used. The longer the averaging time,
the more stable the readings tend to become. This is due to a dampened response as
the signal is averaged over a longer period of time than during shorter averaging times.
However, longer averaging times delay the response of the oximeter and reduce the mea-
sured variations of SpO2 and PR.
MASIMO SENSORS
Before use, carefully read the LNOP, LNOPv and LNCS sensor Directions for Use.
Use only Masimo oximetry sensors for SpO2 measurements.
Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of an LNOP, LNOPv or
LNCS sensor, for example by wrapping the sensor too tightly. Inspect the sensor site as
directed in the sensor Directions for Use to ensure skin integrity and correct positioning
and adhesion of the sensor.
CAUTIONS

LOW PERFUSION
The Rad-8 indicates perfusion on a 10-bar LED indicator. The lower two segments of the
bar will turn red when the amplitude of the arterial pulsations is very low (low perfusion).
It has been suggested that at extremely low perfusion levels, pulse oximeters can measure
peripheral saturation, which may differ from central arterial saturation1. This “localized
hypoxemia” may result from the metabolic demands of other tissues extracting oxygen
proximal to the monitoring site under conditions of sustained peripheral hypoperfusion.
(This may occur even with a pulse rate that correlates with the ECG heart rate.)
CAUTION: IF THE LOW PERFUSION INDICATION IS FREQUENTLY DISPLAYED, FIND
A BETTER-PERFUSED MONITORING SITE. IN THE INTERIM, ASSESS THE PATIENT
AND, IF INDICATED, VERIFY OXYGENATION STATUS THROUGH OTHER MEANS.

Vasoconstriction. Anesthesiology 1990; 73:532-537
ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN
If the SpO2 readings show significant differences, do the following:
■
Make sure the emitter and photodetector are aligned directly opposite each other.
■
Select a site where the distance between the emitter and photodetector is mini-
mized.
■
Wipe the sensor site with a 70% isopropyl alcohol pad or rubefacient cream (10-
30% methyl salicylate and 2-10% menthol) for 20-30 seconds. Strong vasodilator
creams, such as nitroglycerin paste, are not recommended.
■
If possible, remove electrical noise sources such as electrosurgical units or other
electrical/electronic equipment.
■
If artificial nails or excessive fingernail polish are present, select another site or
remove the polish/artificial nails.
■
If possible, ensure that the sensor is placed in a location with low ambient light.
Although the Rad-8 pulse oximeter integrated with Masimo SET technology has
significant immunity to ambient light, excessive ambient light may cause readings to
be incorrect.
CAUTION: IF ANY MEASUREMENT SEEMS QUESTIONABLE, FIRST CHECK THE
PATIENT’S VITAL SIGNS BY ALTERNATE MEANS AND THEN CHECK THE PULSE
OXIMETER FOR PROPER FUNCTIONING.
SIGNAL IQ AND PULSE BAR
The Rad-8 display provides a visual indicator of the plethysmogram signal quality and
an alert when the displayed SpO2 values are not based on adequate signal quality. The
signal quality indicator displayed on the Rad-8 is called the Signal IQ. The Signal IQ can
be used to identify the occurrence of a patient’s pulse and the associated signal quality of
the measurement.
The Signal IQ is shown as a “bouncing bar” indicator, where the peak of the bar coincides
with the peak of an arterial pulsation. Even with a plethysmographic waveform obscured by
artifact, the Rad-8 locates the arterial pulsation. The pulse tone (when enabled) coincides
with the peak of the Signal IQ bar. As saturation increases or decreases, the pulse tone will
ascend or descend accordingly, for each 1% change in saturation.
The height of the Signal IQ bar indicates the quality of the measured signal. A high verti-
cal bar indicates that the SpO2 measurement is based on a good quality signal. A small
vertical bar indicates that the SpO2 measurement is based on data with low signal quality.
When the signal quality is very low the accuracy of the SpO2 measurement may be com-
promised. A “Low Signal IQ” is indicated by a bar height of two bars or less and the bars
turn red. When this occurs, proceed with caution and do the following:
■
Assess the patient.
■
Check the sensor and ensure proper sensor application. The sensor must be well
secured to the site for the Rad-8 to maintain accurate readings. Also, misalignment
of the sensor’s emitter and detector can result in smaller signals.
■
Determine if an extreme change in the patient’s physiology and blood flow at the
monitoring site occurred, (e.g. an inflated blood pressure cuff, a squeezing motion,
sampling of an arterial blood specimen from the hand containing the pulse oximetry
sensor, severe hypotension, peripheral vasoconstriction in response to hypothermia,
medications, or a spell of Raynaud’s syndrome.)
■
With neonates or infants, check that the peripheral blood flow to the sensor site is
not interrupted. Interruption, for example, as may occur while lifting or crossing their
legs, during a diaper change.
After performing the above, if the “Low Signal IQ” indication occurs frequently or continu-
ously, obtaining an arterial blood specimen for CO-Oximetry analysis may be considered
to verify the oxygen saturation value.

INTRODUCTION
The Rad-8 can store up to 72 hours of SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index trend data
captured at 2 second intervals. The trend data can then be transferred to a PC for evalu-
ation.
A serial cable is required to connect the Rad-8 to a PC. Patient monitoring is not possible
while trend memory is being transferred to a PC.
Trend data is stored in non-volatile memory, so it is not erased when the unit is shut off.
A trend data download is initiated using the TrendCom utility which downloads the trend
data and saves it to an ASCII text (.out) file with an output delimeter option.
TRENDCOM UTILITY INSTALLATION
Copy the TrendCom utility from the TrendCom CD onto a PC running MS-Windows.
TRENDCOM UTILITY OPERATION
1.
Turn Rad-8 off if not already off.
2.
Connect serial cable to Rad-8 and other end to a com port on the PC.
3.
Turn the Rad-8 on.
4.
Start the TrendCom utility on the PC.
5.
Select Rad-8 from the first pull-down menu.
6.
Select the appropriate com port number from the second pull-down menu, if neces-
sary.
7.
Select the Output Delimeter Option (Tab, Comma or Space).
8.
Select the RETRIEVE TREND button on the TrendCom utility. Select the desired
location and assign a file name for the trend file. Select SAVE.
9.
The Rad-8 will display “dat out” while trend data is being transferred. A progress
bar will advance to indicate the status of the download. Larger trend files will take
longer to download. Transfer time is approximately 20 seconds per hour of trend
data.
NOTE: During download of trend in formation, all normal Rad-8 functions are unavailable
and the keypad is locked, except for the power button.

displayed along with a 10 second display of parameters. To turn the unit off the power key
must be depressed and held for 3 seconds. The Mode Enter and Next key held simultane-
ously for 3 second will put it back into the special menu to select a different mode.
SLEEP MODE OPERATION
The Rad-8 can be placed into the Sleep Mode to allow the unit to capture normal and
abnormal patient data without triggering the alarms. This mode will blank out the unit
display with the exception of the Battery Level Indicator and the Alarm Silenced Indicator
and disable the alarms even after a power cycle. However, any single key press will bring
the display back for 10 seconds. Upon power up, the SLP mode will be displayed along
with a 10 second display of parameter settings. The Mode Enter and Next key held simul-
taneously for 3 seconds (select next (STD), Mode Enter) will put it back into the special

Serial interface specifications
The digital interface for serial communication is based on the standard RS-232 protocol.
The Rad-8 pulse oximeter by default always outputs ASCII2 text data through the serial
port, unless the user selects a different output mode in the Output menu. To interface with
the Rad-8 and receive serial text data, simply connect a serial interface cable to the serial
output connector located on the back of the Rad-8.
NOTE: Trend data packets are collected at 2 second intervals. Each data packet contains:
the date, time, SpO2, pulse rate, perfusion index and alarm and exception values (in ASCII
format).

1 Masimo SET technology with LNOP Adt/ Neo sensors has been validated for no motion accuracy in human blood studies on healthy
adult male and female volunteers with light to dark skin pigmentation in induced hypoxia studies in the range of 70-100% SpO2 against
a laboratory co-oximeter and ECG monitor. This variation equals plus or minus one standard deviation which encompasses 68% of
the population. The saturation accuracy of the neonatal sensors were validated on adult male and female volunteers with light to dark
skin pigmentation and 1% was added to account for the properties of fetal hemoglobin.
2 Masimo SET technology with LNOP Adt sensors has been validated for motion accuracy in human blood studies on healthy adult male
and female volunteers with light to dark skin pigmentation in induced hypoxia studies while performing rubbing and tapping motions, at
2 to 4 Hz at an amplitude of 1 to 2 cm and a non-repetitive motion between 1 to 4Hz at an amplitude of 2 to 3 cm in induced hypoxia
studies in the range of 70-100% SpO2 against a laboratory CO-oximeter and ECG monitor. This variation equals plus or minus one
standard deviation which encompasses 68% of the population. The saturation accuracy of the neonatal sensors were validated on adult
male and female volunteers with light to dark skin pigmentation and 1% was added to account for the properties of fetal hemoglobin.
3 Masimo SET technology has been validated for low perfusion accuracy in bench top testing against a Biotek Index 2 simulator and
Masimo’s simulator with signal strengths of greater than 0.02% and a % transmission of greater than 5% for saturations ranging from
70 to 100%. This variation equals plus or minus one standard deviation which encompasses 68% of the population.
4 This represents approximate run time at lowest indicator brightness and pulse tone turned off using a fully charged battery.
5 With FastSat the averaging time is dependent on the input signal. For the 2 and 4 second settings the averaging time may range from
2-4 and 4-6 seconds, respectively.

This section covers the use and cleaning of Masimo SET sensors and Masimo SET
patient cables.
M a s i m o S p O 2 s e n s o r s
Before use of any sensor or cable, carefully read the sensor or cable Directions for
Use.
Use only Masimo oximetry sensors and cables for SpO2 measurements. Other oxygen
transducers or sensors may cause improper Rad-8 pulse oximeter performance.
Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of a Masimo sensor, for
example by wrapping the sensor too tightly. Inspect the sensor site as directed in the
sensor Directions for Use to ensure skin integrity and correct positioning and adhesion
of the sensor.
CAUTIONS:
■
DO NOT USE DAMAGED SENSORS. DO NOT USE A SENSOR WITH EXPOSED
OPTICAL OR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. DO NOT IMMERSE THE SENSOR
IN WATER, SOLVENTS, OR CLEANING SOLUTIONS (THE SENSORS AND CON-
NECTORS ARE NOT WATERPROOF). DO NOT STERILIZE BY IRRADIATION,
STEAM, OR ETHYLENE OXIDE. SEE THE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS IN THE
DIRECTIONS FOR USE FOR REUSABLE MASIMO SENSORS.
■
DO NOT USE DAMAGED PATIENT CABLES. DO NOT IMMERSE THE PATIENT
CABLES IN WATER, SOLVENTS, OR CLEANING SOLUTIONS (THE PATIENT
CABLE CONNECTORS ARE NOT WATERPROOF). DO NOT STERILIZE BY IRRA-
DIATION, STEAM, OR ETHYLENE OXIDE.
■
ALL SENSORS AND CABLES ARE DESIGNED FOR USE WITH SPECIFIC MONI-
TORS. VERIFY THE COMPATIBILIY OF THE MONITOR, CABLE AND SENSOR
BEFORE USE, OTHERWISE PATIENT INJURY CAN RESULT.
■ DO NOT USE ADDITIONAL TAPE TO WRAP SENSOR.
SELECTING A MASIMO SET SENSOR
When selecting a sensor, consider, the patient’s weight, the adequacy of perfusion, the
available sensor sites, and the duration of monitoring. For more information refer to the
following table or contact your Sales Representative. Use only Masimo SET sensors and
sensor cables. Select an appropriate sensor, apply it as directed, and observe all warn-
ings and cautions presented in the directions for use accompanying the sensor.
High ambient light sources such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon light
source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight
can interfere with the performance of an SpO2 sensor. To prevent interference from
ambient light, ensure that the sensor is properly applied, and cover the sensor site with
opaque material, if required. Failure to take this precaution in high ambient light condi-
tions may result in inaccurate measurements.
SERIAL PRINTER SETUP
To print the SpO2 and pulse rate data in ASCII1 format on a serial printer, simply connect
the laser printer to the serial port and set output mode to ASCII1. Once serial communi-
cation is established, the Rad-8 automatically will start printing the ASCII1 text data.
WARNING: ALL EXTERNAL DEVICE CONNECTIONS TO THE RS-232 SERIAL
PORT MUST BE IEC-60950 COMPLIANT.
Nurse call specifications
The nurse call features are accessible via the 1/4” round female connector on the back
of the unit.
NURSE CALL
The nurse call feature on the Rad-8 pulse oximeter is based on the relay closing or open-
ing depending on alarm, Low Signal IQ events or both. In addition the nurse call polarity
can be inverted to accommodate various nurse call stations requirements.
