Safety

Read this information before setting up, using or servicing your Series 50 T Telemetry System.

FCC WARNING This equipment generates, uses and radiates radio-frequency energy, and

if it is not installed and used in accordance with this manual, may cause interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference, in which case the users, at their own expense, must take whatever measures may be required to correct the interference.

This symbol indicates that you should consult the Ins tructions For Use, and particularly any warning messages.

Equipotential Terminal

This symbol identifies terminals which are connected together, bringing various equipment or parts of a system to the same potential. This is not necessarily earth potential. The value of potentials of earth may be indicated adjacent to the symbol.

Prot ective Earth Terminal

This symbol identifies the terminal for connection to an external protective earth system.

Battery

This symbol identifies the transmitter battery holder. It takes three 1.5 V batteries (AA size, LR6 type).

Three types of battery can be used in the transmitter:

• Alkaline

• NiCd (rechargeable)

• NiMH (rechargeable).

Caution Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the Transmitter for a long period of time, to avoid damage from leakage.

Patient Safety

Environment

The Telemetry System should only be used by, or under the direct supervision of, a licensed physician or other health care parctitioner who is trained in the use of fetal heart rate monitors and in th e interpretation of fetal heart rate traces. US federal law restricts this device to sale by, or on the order of, a physician.

The Telemetry Receiver is a Protection Class 1, Type B instrument. It is designed to fulfill safety requirements according to IEC 60601-1, UL 544 and CSA-

C22.2 No.601.1-M90. The telemetry transmitter is a battery operated device, applied parts (patient

connectors) are Type CF .

Use the system in an environment which is reasonably free from vibration, dust, corrosive or explosive ga ses, extremes o f temperatur e and humidity. It operates within specifications at ambient temperatures between 0 and +45°C. Ambient temperatures that exceed these limits can affect the accuracy of the system, the transmitter radio frequency transmission, and can damage the components and circuits.

The system (not including transducers

) can be stored at ambient temperatures

between -40°C and +75°C. The blue Toco and Ultrasound transducers are water-tight to a depth of 50 cm (19.7

inches).

Warning Do not use brown transducers to monitor patients under water. Ultrasound and

Toco transducers that are colored blue are watertight and comply with IEC 529 (IP68).

You can immerse the BLUE Ultrasound and Toco tranducers in water ONLY when connected to the telemetry transmitter. NEVER connect blue transducers directly to the fetal monitor when they are immersed in water, or likely to come in contact with water.

NEVER immerse the telemetry transmitter in water or other liquids such as cleaning solutions.

1. Transducers can be stored at temperatures between -40°C and +60°C (-40°F to +140°F).

 Chapter 1 - Safety

Protective Earth

To protect hospital personnel and the patient, the cabinet must be grounded. Accordingly, the receiver is equipped with a 3-wire power cable which grounds it to the power line ground when plugged into an appropriate 3-wire receptacle. Do not use a 3-wire to 2-wire a dapter with the receiver. Any interruption of the protective earth grounding will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in serious personal injury.

Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impair ed, the receiver must be made inoperative and be secured against any unintended operation.

Warning Check each time before use that the Telemetry System is in perfect working

order and the receiver is properly grounded.

The patient cable must be positioned so that it does not come into contact with any other electrical equipment.

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

Warning Possible explosion hazard if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics.

Environment

The Telemetry System should be used in an environment which is reasonably free from vibration, dust, corrosive or explosive gases, extremes of temperature and humidity. It operates within specifications at ambient temperatures between 0 and 45°C . Ambient temperatures which exceed these limits can affect the accuracy of the Telemetry System, the Transmitter radio frequency transmission, and cause damage to the components and circuits.
