national standards, and the instrument is used in accordance with the instructions for use.
Note: This device is not intended for home use.
WARNING: This device is not intended for treatment.
If there is doubt as to fetal well-being after using the unit, further investigations should be
undertaken immediately using alternative techniques.
The accuracy of FHR is controlled by the equipment and can not be adjusted by user.
If the FHR result is distrustful, please use other method such as stethoscope to verify
or contact the local distributor or manufacture to get help.

1 Safety Guidance
1.1 Introduction For the Safe Operation
The CMS800G Ultrasonic Fetal Doppler Monitor (Monitor) is Class I equipment and
designed to comply with IEC 60601-1.
Switching within 1 minute, at ambient temperatures between 5℃ and 40℃ . Ambient
temperatures that exceed these limits could affect the accuracy of the instrument and cause
damage to the modules and circuits. Allow at least 2 inches (5cm) clearance around the
instrument for proper air circulation.
The user must check the equipment, cables and transducers do not have visible evidence of
damage that may affect patient safety or monitoring capability before use. The recommended
inspection interval is once per week or less. If damage is evidence, replacement is
recommended before use.
The user must be serviced only by authorized and qualified personnel, The manufacturer can
not accept responsibility for safety compliance, reliability and performance if modifications
or repairs are carried out by unauthorized personnel. Identical replacement parts must be
used.
Perform period safety testing to insure proper patient safety. This should include leakage
current measurement and insulation testing. The recommended testing interval is once per
year.
The protection categories against electric shock of the patient connections are:
①FHR1 ②FHR2 ③TOCO MARK④
This symbol indicates that the instrument is IEC 60601-1 Type B equipment. Type B protection
means that these patient connections will comply with permitted leakage currents, dielectric
strengths and protective earthing limits of IEC 60601-1.
The monitor described in this user manual is not protected against:
A)The effect of defibrillator shocks
B)The effects of defibrillator discharge
C)The interference of high frequency currents
D)The interference of electrosurgery equipment
E)The interference of mobile phone
1.2 Ultrasound Safety Guide
Fetal Use
The Monitor is designed for continuous fetal heart rate monitoring during pregnancy and
labor . Clinical interpretation of fetal heart rate patterns can diagnose fetal and/or maternal
problems and complications.
Instructions for Use in Minimizing Patient Exposure
The acoustic output of the Monitor is internally controlled and can not be varied by the
operator in the course of the examination. The duration of exposure is, however, fully under
the control of the operator. Mastery of the examination techniques described in the User
Manual will facilitate obtaining the maximum amount of diagnostic information with the
minimum amount of exposure.
1.3 Safety Precautions
WARNING and CAUTION messages must be observed. To avoid the possibility of injury,
observe the following precautions during the operation of the instrument.
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD-Do not use the in a flammable atmosphere where
concentrations of flammable anesthetics or other materials may occur.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD-the power receptacle must be a three-wire grounded
outlet. A hospital grade outlet is required. Never adapt the three-prong
plug from the monitor to fit a two-slot outlet. If the outlet has only two
slots, make sure that it is replaced with a three-slot grounded outlet before
attempting to operate the monitor.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD-Do not attempt to connect or disconnect a power cord
with wet hands. Make certain that your hands are clean and dry before
touching a power cord.
WARNING: The monitor should be installed by an authorized and qualified service
engineer.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD-Do not remove the top panel covers during operation or
while power is connected.
WARNING: Only connect the device to Contec supplied or recommended accessories, to
avoid the injury of the doctors and patient.
WARNING: Do not switch on device power until all cables have been properly connected
and verified.
WARNING: Don’t touch signal input or output connector and the patient simultaneously.
WARNING: Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be
certified according to the respective IEC standards (e.g. IEC 950 for data
processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore
all configurations shall comply with the valid version of the system standard
IEC 60601-1-1. Everybody who connects additional equipment to the signal
input connector or signal output connector configures a medical system, and is
therefore responsible that the system complies with the requirements of the
valid version of the system standard IEC 60601-1-1. If in doubt, consult our
technical service department or your local distributor.
CAUTION: The device is designed for continuous and is “ordinary” (i.e. not drip or
splash-proof).
CAUTION: Keep the environment clean. Avoid vibration. Keep it far from corrosive
medicine, dust area, high-temperature and humid environment.
CAUTION: Do not operate the unit if it is damp or wet because of condensation or spills.
Avoid using the equipment immediately after moving it from a cold
environment to a warm, humid location.
CAUTION: Do not immerse transducers in liquid. When using solutions, use sterile wipes
to avoid pouring fluids directly on the transducers.
