Huntleigh Healthcare Ltd Sonicaid FM800 series fetal monitors are indicated for use in
monitoring fetal and maternal vital signs during the intrapartum and antepartum periods.
Sonicaid FM820 provides comprehensive fetal monitoring facilities, offering twin
ultrasound fetal heart rate, separate fetal and maternal ECG channels, external and
internal uterine activity monitoring and maternally sensed fetal movements.
Sonicaid FM830 provides additional maternal monitoring with facilities for simultaneous
monitoring of maternal pulse oximetry, blood pressure and temperature without the need
for additional stand-alone devices.
Notes
US Federal Law restricts this device to sale on or by the order of a physician.
Sonicaid Care analysis and Sonicaid Trend analysis are not approved for sale in the USA
and Canada.
Warning: do not use the maternal oxi metry sensors during magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) scan ning. Induced current could cause bur ns .
The oximeter may affect the MRI image, and the MRI unit may affect the
accuracy of oximetry measurements.
8
Sonicaid FM800 Series Reference Manual
System Installation
These requirements must be met when you connect an FM800 fetal monitor to any of the
following pieces of equipment:
● a central review and archiving system
● a PC
● a VGA monitor:
1 Non-medical equipment must comply with the relevant IEC or ISO safety standard.
For Information Technology equipment, this standard is IEC950/EN60950.
2 Medical equipment must comply with IEC601-1/EN60601-1.
3 The configured system must comply with the system standard IEC601-1-1/EN60601-1-1.
4 If non-medical equipment (eg the PC or printer) with enclosure leakage currents greater
than those allowed by IEC601-1/EN60601-1 is to be used in the patient environment
(within 1.5m of the patient), you must bring the enclosure leakage currents within the
limits laid down by IEC601-1/EN60601-1. This may be done by using an isolating
transformer such as the one supplied by Huntleigh Healthcare
Ltd.
5 Anybody who connects additional equipment to signal input or signal output parts of
the system is configuring a medical system, and is therefore responsible for ensuring
that the system complies with IEC601-1-1/EN60601-1-1. If you are
in any doubt whether your system does comply, consult the technical service
department of your local Huntleigh Healthcare Ltd representative.
The connection of extra equipment to the patient or FM800 could lead to the summation
of leakage currents. In such circumstances the user must ensure that
safe leakage currents are not exceeded.
Calibration
The NBP module should be calibrated every 12 months. See Section 14.5. Apart from
this, there is no special procedure for calibrating FM800.
9
Sonicaid FM800 Series Reference Manual
Multiple Portable Socket Outlets
(including isolation transformers)
Note: an isolation transformer is a particular kind of multiple socket outlet.
It is not recommended to power a medical system from a multiple portable socket
outlet which is not supplied from an isolation transformer (IEC601-1-1/EN60601-1-1
Amendment 1).
If such an outlet is in use, it should comply with the requirements of Annexe EEE.2 of
IEC601-1-1/EN60601-1-1 Amendment 1.
WARNINGS
1 Do not exceed the power rating for the multiple portable socket o utlet.
2 Do not place multiple portable so ck et -outlets on the floor. This is to
protect against mechanical damage and the ingress of liquids.
3 Multiple portable socket-outlets supplied with the system must not
be used for powering equipment which does not form part of the
system. This is to prevent increased leakage currents, and overload
of the multiple portable socket outlet.
4 If the system has been specified for use with an isolation transformer,
do not connect any non-medical electrica l equipment which forms part
of the system directly to the wall outlet. This is to prevent excessive
leakage currents.
5 Non-medical electrical equipment situated in the patient environment
(within 1.5 metres of the patie nt) must be powered via an isolati on
transformer, to limit leakage current.
For more information on the connection and use of isolation transformers, consult the
user manual for the medical system you have purchased.

Sonicaid FM800 Series Reference Manual
Electromagnetic compatibility
Make sure the environment in which FM800 is installed is not subject to strong sources of
electromagnetic interference (eg radio transmitters, mobile phones).
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy. If not installed and used
properly, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, it may cause or be
subject to interference. Type-tested in a fully configured system, it has been found to
comply with IEC601-1-2/EN60601-1-2, the standard intended to provide reasonable
protection against such interference. Whether the equipment causes interference may be
determined by turning the equipment off and on. If it does cause or is affected by
interference, one or more of the following measures may correct the interference:
● Reorienting the equipment
● Relocating the equipment with respect to the source of interference
● Moving the equipment away from the device with which it is interfering
● Plugging the equipment into a different outlet so that the devices are on different
branch circuits
Adding accessories or components to a system, or modifying a medical device or system,
may degrade the immunity performance. Consult qualified personnel before making
changes to the system configuration.

Sonicaid FM800 Series Reference Manual
2.2 FM800 main screen
When FM800 is monitoring, fetal parameters are displayed down the left-hand side of the
display, maternal parameters down the right-hand side. Each parameter is always
displayed in the same position on the display. See diagram below.
Buttons are not active until a transducer is connected. A triangular pointer indicates that a
button is active.
For example:
Pressing a button takes you into a setup screen for that parameter. This setup screen
allows you to set alarms and thresholds.
The setup button in the main screen is for general setup procedures (setting the time and
date, altering the default thresholds, and so on).
Stop beep or make it quieter
FM800 beeps when you press a button or key. The loudness of the beep depends on the
loudness of the fetal or maternal alarm, whichever is louder. So to make FM800 beep
more quietly or loudly, change the volume of the fetal and/or maternal alarms. See
Section 8.2.
To stop FM800 beeping when you press a button or key:

2.3 Software control buttons
When you switch FM800 on, the SETUP button is active. Other buttons are inactive.
When you connect any transducer (apart from NBP), the button for that parameter
becomes active, and the parameter name is displayed.
For example, when you connect Ultrasound 1, the display shows:
When the FM800 detects the fetal heart rate, it displays the rate and a confidence
indicator (the heart symbol). See Section 5.4.
25
Sonicaid FM800 Series Reference Manual
2.4 Audio controls
FM800 can give you an audio signal for one channel at a time (Ultrasound, FECG or
MECG). The default channel is ULT1 (1.5MHz Ultrasound). So if you switch on FM800
with transducers connected for all the audio channels, and then select audio, you will get
an audio signal for ULT1. If you are in any doubt, the FM800 display shows you which
channel currently has the audio signal.
For audio, see also Sections 5.2 and 6.3.
Note : in FM800s with firmware version 1.4.0 or later, if you connect an audio-capable
transducer when audio is already turned on, the audio signal automatically switches to this
most recently connected transducer.
The audio controls on FM800 allow you to:
● change the audio volume
● change the audio channel
Volume control
To change the audio volume, press Audio Volume Up or Audio Volume Down.
