To protect hospital personnel and the patient, the cabinet must be grounded. Accordingly, the Monitor is equipped with a 3-wire power cable that grounds it to the power line ground when plugged into an appropriate 3-wire receptacle. Do not use a 3-wire to 2-wire adapter with the Monitor.

Position the patient cable so that it does not come into contact with any other electrical equipment. The cable connecting the patient to the Monitor must be free of electrolyte.

Make sure that the Monitor is free from condensation during operation. This can form when equipment is moved from one building to another, and is exposed to moisture and differences in temperature.

Warning

There is a possible explosion hazard if the Monitor is used in the presence of flammable anesthetics. Always disconnect the Monitor from the power supply before removing the top cover. If servicing requires that the power be on while the cover is removed, proceed with extreme caution. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.

Patient Safety

The Monitor should only be used by, or under the direct supervision of, a licensed physician or other health care practitioner who is trained in the use of fetal heart rate monitors and in the interpretation of fetal heart rate traces.
