Safety Requirements (Customer or Philips)

The monitor is an electrical Class I device in which protection against electric shock does not rely on basic insulation only, but which includes an additional safety precaution, in that means are provided for the connection of the equipment to a protective earth conductor in the fixed wiring installation in such a way that accessible metal parts cannot become live in the event of a failure of the basic insulation.
WARNING • Always use the supplied power cord with the earthed mains plug to connect the monitor to an
earthed AC mains socket. Never adapt the mains plug from the power supply to fit an unearthed AC mains socket.
• Do not use additional AC mains extension cords or multiple portable socket-outlets. If a multiple portable socket-outlet without an approved separating transformer is used, the interruption of its protective earthing may result in equipment leakage currents equal to the sum of the individual earth leakage currents, so exceeding allowable limits.

Electrical Requirements (Customer or Philips)

Line Voltage Connection
The FM40/FM50 monitor uses < 60 W.
Line Voltage: the FM20/FM30 monitor may be operated on ac line voltage ranges of 100 to 240V (50/60 Hz).

Connecting Non-Medical Devices

The standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1 applies to any combination of devices, where at least one is a medical device. Therefore IEC/EN 60601-1-1 must still be met after all devices are connected.
WARNING • Do not use a device in the patient vicinity if it does not comply with IEC/EN 60601-1. The whole
installation, including devices outside of the patient vicinity, must comply with IEC/EN 60601-1-1. Any non-medical device, including a PC running an OB TraceVue system, placed and operated in the patient’s vicinity must be powered via a separating transformer (compliant with IEC/EN 60601­1-1) that ensures mechanical fixing of the power cords and covering of any unused power outlets.
• Do not connect any devices that are not supported as part of a system.
8
Site Requirements 2 Site Preparation
Whenever you combine equipment to form a system, for example, connecting the monitor to an OB TraceVue system, perform a system test according to IEC/EN 60601-1-1 (see “System Test” on page 38).

3Installation Instructions

The information contained in this chapter, in addition to that given in the Instructions for Use, should enable the monitor to be installed ready for use (the preparation and planning should be adhered to as specified in the “Site Preparation” chapter). Safety checks and inspection procedures for mounts are explained in the “Testing and Maintenance” chapter, and configuration of the system is explained in the “Configuration” chapter.
Please keep the packing materials until you have completed the initial inspection, in case there is a defect on arrival.

Initial Inspection

Inspect the delivery on arrival.
3

Visual Inspection

Open the shipping container(s) and examine each part of the instrument for visible damage, such as broken connectors or controls, or scratches on the equipment surfaces. If the shipping carton/container is undamaged, check the cushioning material and note any signs of severe stress as an indication of rough handling in transit. This may be necessary to support claims for hidden damage that may only become apparent during subsequent testing.

Electrical Inspection

The instrument has undergone extensive testing prior to shipment. Safety testing at installation is not required (except in situations where devices are interconnected forming a system, see “Connecting Non-Medical Devices” on page 8). An extensive self check may be performed. This recommendation does not supersede local requirements.
All tests are described in the “Testing and Maintenance” chapter of this manual.

Claims for Damage

When the equipment is received, if physical damage is evident or if the monitor does not meet the specified operational requirements of the patient safety checks or the extended self check, notify the carrier and the nearest Philips Sales/Support Office at once. Philips will arrange for immediate repair or replacement of the instrument without waiting for the claim settlement by the carrier.
13
3 Installation Instructions Repackaging for Shipment or Storage

Repackaging for Shipment or Storage

If the instrument is to be shipped to a Philips Sales/Support Office, securely attach a label showing the name and address of the owner, the instrument model and serial numbers, and the repair required (or symptoms of the fault). If available and reusable, the original Philips packaging should be used to provide adequate protection during transit. If the original Philips packaging is not available or reusable please contact the Philips Sales/Support Office who will provide information about adequate packaging materials and methods.

Mounting Instructions

Every type of compatible mounting solution is delivered with a complete set of mounting hardware and instructions. Refer to the Site prep chapter for a list of mounting options. Refer to the documentation delivered with the mounting hardware for instructions on assembling mounts.
WARNING It is the customer's responsibility to have the attachment of the mounting hardware to the ceiling, wall,
or mounting rail and the construction of the ceiling, wall, or mounting rail evaluated for structural integrity and compliance with all local, state and any other required codes by a registered, professional, structural and/or mechanical engineer.
Ensure that this commitment has been met before assembling mounts.

Line Voltage Selection

You do not need to set the line voltage, as this is done automatically by the power supply. The monitor has a wide-range power supply that allows you to operate the monitor from an AC (alternating current) power source of 100 V to 240 V (± 10%) and 50/60 Hz (± 5%).

–LAN / RS232
–Dual PS/2 (optional)
– MIB / RS232 (optional)

Power Supply

The power supply is a wide-range input switching unit, with an output of 24V. It is located in the chassis assembly.

Fetal Sensor Connector Block

Any compatible fetal transducer can be connected in any order to the monitor via the sockets on the Connector Block. The Connector Block is located on the Bus Master section of the All Peripheral Interfaces (API) Board, and is exchangeable.

API (All Peripheral Interfaces) Board

The All Peripheral Interfaces (API) Board is connected to the Main CPU Board by a 154-pin 0.5 mm pitch press fit connector.
20
The recorder is controlled by the Printer Control section of the API Board, which is connected to the Stepper Motor and the Thermal Printer Unit.
The signals from the transducers or sensors are conveyed from the sensor sockets to the Bus Master section of the API Board. The Telemetry Interface is also integrated into the API Board.
The Bus Master section is responsible for transducer detection, communicates with the connected transducers via a CAN bus, and communicates parameter data to the Main CPU Board via a serial link for further processing and display. It has floating power isolation.
The API Board also controls the display panel and the backlight converter, and also controls the touchscreen. The display panel is connected to the API Board. The VGA connector is also connected to the API Board.
The API Board incorporates an audio amplifier which controls the loudspeaker.
Main CPU Board 4 Theory of Operation

Main CPU Board

The Main CPU Board controls the monitor’s human interface, and is responsible for the final processing of data from the Bus Master Board. It sends this data to the TFT display, and to the thermal printer unit for recording traces and other patient data. It also controls the LAN/RS232 interface board, and the optional PS/2 and MIB interface boards.

Fetal Recorder (Thermal Printer Unit)

The fetal recorder is located in the front of the chassis assembly. The recorder consists of the following major parts:
•Thermal Line Printhead (TLPH)
•Paper Sensor
•Stepper Motor

Thermal Line Printhead (TLPH)

The TLPH is located on its own holder in the recorder chassis.

Paper Sensor

The paper sensor hardware consists of a reflective light sensor that detects the black marks on the trace paper, and paper-out. It is attached to the RFI Bracket, and connected to the Recorder Adapter Board via a removable cable connector.

Stepper Motor

The stepper motor is a bipolar motor controlled by a micro-stepping motor driver on the Recorder Adapter Board. The motor is located on the recorder chassis and is connected to the Recorder Adapter Board via a removable cable connector.

LCD Display and Touchscreen

The LCD Display Assembly consists of a five-wire resistive touchscreen, a 6.5” TFT panel, and a backlight inverter, all connected to the API Board and fitted into the front bezel assembly.

Noninvasive Blood Pressure Assembly

The optional Noninvasive Blood Pressure Assembly is located in the rear lefthand corner of the chassis assembly. It is connected via a serial link to the Main CPU Board.

SpO2 Assembly

The optional SpO2 Assembly is physically located on the Bus Master section, but sends data directly to the Main CPU Board via a serial link.
21
4 Theory of Operation Input/Output Interface Boards

Input/Output Interface Boards

There are three interface boards available:
• LAN/RS232 Interface Board, used for connecting to a PC running the Support Tool and to a surveillance and documentation system such OB TraceVue.
• PS/2 Interface Board (optional), used for connecting an external keyboard or mouse.
• MIB Interface Board (optional), used for connecting external touchscreen displays.
The interface boards plug into the two interface slots on the rear panel of the device, and are controlled by the Main CPU Board.

Transducer Types 4 Theory of Operation

Transducer Types

All transducers that can connect to the fetal sensor sockets can be used.

Functional Description of the Transducer CPU

The CPU section of the transducers is made up of the following main functional blocks:
• CPU (micro controller)
• Analog-to-Digital Converter
• Communication Transceiver (CAN bus driver)
• EEPROM

CPU (Micro Controller)

A single-chip processor is used to control the transducer, generate the frontend control signals, control the analog-to-digital signal conversion, and to perform the signal processing.

Analog-to-Digital Converter

Analog-to-digital (A/D) signal conversion is carried out by the 16-bit AD converter. Digital signals are directly communicated from the A/D converter to the CPU.

Communication Transceiver (CAN Bus Driver)

The communications transceiver (CAN bus driver) communicates directly with the transducer CPU, and allows the transducer to communicate with the Bus Master Board via the CAN bus.

EEPROM

The serial EEPROM stores all non-volatile data required to operate the transducer (for example, calibration and correction factors for frontend gains and offsets, country-specific information, serial numbers and error logs).

Toco Transducer Frontend

Uterine activity is measured by evaluating the hardness of the mother’s abdomen with a pressure sensitive resistor bridge (strain gauge sensor element). The strain gauge sensor element requires an excitation voltage and its differential output signal is proportional to the pressure applied to it. A DC excitation voltage is used, and the resulting output signal is fed directly to an A/D signal converter before being sent to the processor.

Ultrasound Transducer Frontend

The ultrasound frontend is a pulsed Doppler system with a 1.0 MHz ultrasound frequency, and a pulse repetition rate of 3 kHz. Seven ultrasound crystals are used as transmitter and receiver.
23
4 Theory of Operation Toco+ Transducer Frontends

Toco+ Transducer Frontends

Several parameter frontends are combined on one board. In addition to the Toco frontend, additional supported parameters are DECG, MECG and IUP.
A seven-pin ‘D-type’ socket carries all parameter related inputs and outputs. An external mode resistor, connected to one of the pins, automatically detects which mode to set when an adapter cable is plugged in (whether it is DECG, MECG, or IUP).

Toco Frontend

See “Toco Transducer Frontend” on page 23.

IUP Frontend

Intrauterine pressure (IUP) is measured via a piezo resistive bridge with AC excitation connected to the RA / LA input pins of the ECG amplifier. A/D conversion of the IUP signal is done by the 16-bit A/D converter.

ECG Frontend

The ECG frontend measures both DECG and MECG, using a 3-lead system (RA, LA and reference electrode). The ECG mode is automatically detected when an adapter cable is attached. Input lines are ESD protected.

Patient Module Frontends

The patient module shares the same parameter frontends as the Toco+ transducer, with the exception of the Toco frontend.

Avalon CTS Interface Cable (TMIF)

The Avalon CTS Interface Cable contains the Telemetry Module Interface (TMIF). The TMIF shares the signal processing circuitry with the rest of the Avalon transducers, with the exception that it has no frontend board. The TMIF is responsible for converting the analog signals from the parameter frontends of the Avalon CTS transducers into digital signals for transmission to the fetal monitor.
24

5Rear Interfaces

All the interfaces can be found on the recessed rear panel of the monitor.
There are three interface boards available for the Avalon FM40 and FM50 fetal monitors:
• LAN / RS232 system interface
• Dual PS/2 interface (optional)
• MIB interface (optional)
Slot 02: MIB interface
OR
Dual PS/2 interface

Telemetry interface
The interfaces are “plug-and-play” boards, and fit into dedicated slots on the rear panel of the monitor. See “Removing the Interface Boards” on page 105 for details of how to remove and fit the boards.

LAN / RS232 Interface

The LAN / RS232 system interface has two fully isolated ports:
• The LAN connection can be used for connecting the monitor to a PC for configuration or upgrade using the Support Tool, for connecting the monitor to an OB TraceVue obstetrical information system on a network, and for future system expansion.
• The RS232 connection can be used for connecting the monitor to an obstetrical information and surveillance system, such as OB TraceVue.
Slot 03: (reserved)
VGA Video Out
25
5 Rear Interfaces Dual PS/2 Interface

Dual PS/2 Interface

This interface provides two PS/2 ports to enable the monitor to be connected to off-the-shelf, “plug-and­play” input devices:
Mouse: any specified PS/2 mouse or trackball may be used for navigation and data entry.
Computer keyboard: a PS/2 computer keyboard can be used for data entry instead of the on-screen
pop-up keyboard.

MIB / RS232 Interface

The MIB interface (IEEE P1073) provides two independently configurable ports for connection to an external touch device.

Telemetry Interface

The telemetry interface is for connecting an Avalon CTS Cordless Fetal Transducer System. If you are not already using the M2731-60001 interface cable (with red connector) to connect to one of the fetal sensor sockets, one Avalon CTS can be connected at a time to either rear socket using the M2732-60001 interface cable (with black connector).

VGA Video Out

This connector is for connecting an external analog display. The video output has VGA resolution.
26

6Connection to a Network

You can connect the fetal monitor to an OB TraceVue obstetrical information and surveillance system on a network using the LAN connection on the optional LAN / RS232 interface (see “LAN / RS232 Interface” on page 21).

Network Infrastructure Requirements

The Avalon FM40/50 sends Connection Indication messages that OB TraceVue processes to establish an ethernet connection to the fetal monitor. The general requirements for connecting the Avalon FM40/50 to an OB TraceVue obstetrical surveillance system over a network are as follows:
• The fetal monitor and the data acquisition PC must be in the same network segment.
• The Avalon FM40/50 can be allocated a valid IP address either manually, or from a BOOTP service. If no IP address is entered manually, the Avalon FM40/50 requires a BOOTP service to obtain a valid IP address automatically, therefore BOOTP service must be available in each network segment. If the OB TraceVue internal server is part of that network segment, then it can be configured to serve BOOTP requests.
6
• The ethernet port of the Avalon FM40/50 supports only 10 M-bit half-duplex data transfer.

Connection Indication Messages

Connection Indication (CI) messages can be sent by the Avalon FM40/50 in two ways: by Broadcast or by Unicast.

Broadcast

When CI messages are sent by broadcast, they have the potential to reach any data acquisition PC in the same network segment, and the connection to the fetal monitor is made dynamically by the next available host PC (the data acquisition PC with the least active connections).
Broadcast is the default, and recommended, method for sending CI messages. This is because if there are multiple host PCs available in the same network segment, the broadcast method provides greater availability by allowing load balancing and failure-tolerant functionality. If a particular host PC happens to be unavailable, the next available PC takes over the connection. In the
Server
entry is 0.0.0.0.
Bed Information menu, the IP OB
27
6 Connection to a Network Connection Indication Messages

Unicast

When CI messages are sent by unicast, the fetal monitor sends a request to a specific target OB TraceVue data acquisition hosting PC in the same network segment. The CI message contains the IP address of the target PC, and only this PC will host the connection.
An example where CI messages are typically sent by unicast is where the fetal monitor and OB TraceVue PC are installed in the same cart, and you therefore always want the fetal monitor to be hosted by the same PC.
To avoid conflicts where there are multiple OB TraceVue systems operating in the same network segment, we recommend that you configure the fetal monitors to send the CI messages by unicast.
To enter the IP address of the target PC:
1 Enter Configuration Mode.
2 Select Main Setup.
3 Select Bed Information.
4 In the Bed Information menu, select IP OB Server.
5 Using the pop-up keypad, enter the IP address of the target server, and press Enter when you are done.

Equipment Label and OB TraceVue Fetal Monitor Domain Name

For connection to an OB TraceVue system over a network, OB TraceVue requires each fetal monitor to have an unique equipment label.
When a fetal monitor is configured with an equipment label, this equipment label is sent as part of the CI message. In OB TraceVue, it is possible to specify a Fetal Monitor Domain Name in the fetal monitor configuration user interface (see OB TraceVue Instructions for Use for details). The OB TraceVue system compares this name with the fetal monitor equipment label. Only if the domain name matches the beginning of the equipment label string is the CI message processed and accepted. Otherwise the CI message is ignored.
Using this filtering process, you can avoid conflicts where there are multiple OB TraceVue systems operating in the same network segment by controlling which monitors connect to a specific OB TraceVue system, and which monitors are excluded.
To enter or change the equipment label:
1 Enter Service Mode.
2 Select Main Setup.
3 Select Bed Information.
4 In the Bed Information menu, select Equipment Label.
5 Enter the desired equipment label for your monitor (up to 12 alphanumeric characters are displayed),
then press
Enter.

Safety Tests

Safety test requirements are set according to international standards, their national deviations and specific local requirements. The safety tests detailed in this Service Guide are derived from international standards but may not be sufficient to meet local requirements. We recommend that you file the results of safety tests. This may help to identify a problem early particularly if the test results deteriorate over a period of time.

Warnings, Cautions, and Safety Precautions

• These tests are well established procedures of detecting abnormalities that, if undetected, could result in danger to either the patient or the operator.
• Disconnect the device under test from the patient before performing safety tests.
• You need test equipment (for example, a Safety Analyzer) to perform the tests. Ensure the test equipment is specified to be suitable for the respective test(s). Refer to the documentation that accompanies the test equipment. Only skilled technicians should perform safety testing.
• The consistent use of a Safety Analyzer as a routine step in closing a repair or upgrade is emphasized as a mandatory step to maintain approval agency status. You can also use the Safety Analyzer as a troubleshooting tool to detect abnormalities of line voltage and grounding plus total current loads.
• During safety testing, high voltage and electrical currents are applied to the device under test. This could result in danger to the safety analyzer operator.

7 Testing and Maintenance Safety Tests
SpO2 Connector Fetal Sensor Connectors
Test one connector at a time! Do not connect the tester to the SpO2 connector at the same time as one of the fetal sensor sockets.
Although there are individual connectors on the front end, internally those parameters use the same electrical insulation interface and are hardwired to each other. This results in an electrical short of those connectors during measurement if a test current is applied simultaneously. Therefore this should be avoided.
Due to the combined insulation interface, it is sufficient to connect to only one parameter interface (that is, one of the fetal sensor connectors or SpO
) of the fetal sensor/SpO2 measurement block. This

System Test 7 Testing and Maintenance

System Test

After mounting and setting up a system, perform system safety tests according to IEC/EN 60601-1-1.

What is a Medical Electrical System?

A medical electrical system is a combination of at least one medical electrical device and other electrical equipment, interconnected by functional connection or use of a multiple portable socket-outlet.
• Devices forming a system must comply with IEC/EN 60601-1-1.
• Any device that is connected to the medical device must comply with IEC/EN 60601-1-1 if outside the patient vicinity and be tested accordingly.

General Requirements for a System

After installation or subsequent modification, a system must comply with the requirements of the system standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1. Compliance is checked by inspection, testing or analysis, as specified in the IEC/EN 60601-1-1 or in this book.
Medical electrical equipment must comply with the requirements of the general standard IEC/EN 60601-1, its relevant particular standards and specific national deviations. Non-medical electrical equipment shall comply with IEC and ISO safety standards that are relevant to that equipment.
Relevant standards for some non-medical electrical equipment may have limits for equipment leakage currents higher than required by the standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1. These higher limits are acceptable only outside the patient environment. It is essential to reduce equipment leakage currents when non­medical electrical equipment is to be used within the patient environment.

7 Testing and Maintenance Performance Assurance Tests
WARNING • Do not use additional AC mains extension cords or multiple portable socket-outlets. If a multiple
portable socket-outlet is used, the resulting system must be compliant with IEC/EN 60601-1-1.
• Do not connect any devices that are not supported as part of a system.
• Do not use a device in the patient vicinity if it does not comply with IEC/EN 60601-1. The whole installation, including devices outside of the patient vicinity, must comply with IEC/EN 60601-1-1. Any non-medical device, including a PC running an OB TraceVue system, placed and operated in the patient’s vicinity must be powered via a separating transformer (compliant with IEC/EN 60601­1-1) that ensures mechanical fixing of the power cords and covering of any unused power outlets.

Reporting of Test Results 7 Testing and Maintenance
NOTE
A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a pulse oximeter monitor. However, it can be used to demonstrate that a particular pulse oximeter monitor reproduces a calibration curve that has been independently demonstrated to fulfill a particular accuracy specification.

Reporting of Test Results

Philips recommends all test results are documented in accordance with local laws. Authorized Philips personnel report test result back to Philips to add to the product development database. While hospital personnel (biomedical engineers or technicians) do not need to report results to Philips, Philips recommends that they record and store the test results in accordance with local laws.
Table 3 lists what to record after completing the tests in this chapter. Record the results in the empty column in Table 3.
The following is a guide as to what your documentation should include:
• Identification of the testing body (for example, which company or department carried out the tests).
• Name of the person(s) who performed the tests and the concluding evaluation.
• Identification of the device(s) being tested (serial number, etc.).
• Date of testing and of the concluding evaluation.
• A record of the actual values of the test results, and whether these values passed or failed the tests.

Other Regular Tests

The care and cleaning requirements that apply to the monitor and its accessories are described in the Instructions for Use. This section details the periodic maintenance recommended for the monitor, transducers and accessories.

Transducers and Patient Modules: Functional Tests

If any of the following tests fail, repeat the test using another transducer. If the second transducer passes the tests, confirming that the first transducer is defective, contact your service personnel.
If the second transducer also fails the tests, contact your Philips Service Engineer or Response Center.
Ultrasound Transducer Electrical Check
CAUTION Use of ultrasound gel that is not approved by Philips may reduce signal quality and may damage the
transducer. This type of damage is not covered by warranty.
To test an ultrasound transducer:
1 Switch on the monitor and the recorder.
2 Connect the transducer to the fetal monitor.
3 Select the fetal heart sound for this channel.
4 Increase the loudspeaker volume to an audible level.
5 The ultrasound transducer contains seven piezoelectric crystals. Basic functioning of each can be
verified by holding a flat bottomed pencil or similar above each crystal and moving it up and down as shown.
43
7 Testing and Maintenance Other Regular Tests
A sound should be heard for each crystal tested. The pencil should be held two to three centimeters

Cut off the plastic tip of the fetal scalp electrode (containing the spiral and reference electrodes) from the end of the wires. Strip the insulation from the end of the wires, and connect them to a patient simulator.
Note—We do not recommend the use of a specific patient simulator. The use of a patient simulator does
not allow checking the specification of the ECG-functionality; it allows only a check of general function.
Result: the DECG LEADS OFF INOP should disappear.
Viewing the ECG wave: when configured, you can view the DECG wave on the screen, and any
noise will be visible as additional verification of the effectiveness of the test.
If the test results are not as outlined above, repeat the test with another ECG transducer. If this does not solve the problem, try the following:
• Check all connections.
•If the DECG LEADS OFF INOP is still displayed, the DECG adapter cable may be defective. Replace the adapter cable.

Touchscreen Calibration

To access the touchscreen calibration screen:
1 Enter service mode
2 Select Main Setup
3 Select Hardware
4 Select Calibrate Touch
48
Make sure you complete the calibration procedure without powering off the monitor mid-way. If the monitor is powered off after the first point is touched, the touch panel will be deactivated until the touch calibration is performed again.
Other Regular Tests 7 Testing and Maintenance
If the touchscreen is accidentally mis-calibrated by selecting the wrong spot, you must use another input device to re-enter calibration mode, for instance, a mouse connected to the PS/2 interface. If you have the support tool, you can select Start Touch Calibration and it will create a rough calibration which will allow you to access the calibration menu again via the touchscreen.

Disabling/Enabling Touch Operation

To disable touchscreen operation of the monitor, press and hold the Main Screen key for about three seconds. A red padlock will blink on the key. Press and hold the Main Screen key again for about three seconds to re-enable touchscreen operation.

Checking the Fetal Recorder Offset

To check the recorder offset:
1 Connect a Toco transducer to the monitor.
2 Place the Toco transducer on a flat surface so that it is resting on the belt button, and is therefore
not under any load.
3 Start the recorder, and press the Paper Advance key three times to make sure that at least three
pages of paper have advanced.
4 If the Toco trace is recording exactly on the 20 unit gridline, then the offset is correctly set.
5 If the Toco trace is not recording exactly on the 20 unit gridline, then set the offset as described in
“Setting the Fetal Recorder Offset”.

Setting the Fetal Recorder Offset

To set the fetal recorder offset, you first need to run the fetal recorder calibration:
1 Enter Service Mode.
2 In Main Setup, select Fetal Recorder to enter the Fetal Recorder menu.
The current setting for the recorder offset is shown (but it is still grayed out, and you cannot select it yet).
3 Select Calibration to start the recorder calibration printout.
4 The recorder stops, and the Cal. Offset becomes selectable.
5 Look at the section of the printout entitled “Calibration”.
You will see the numbers 0 to 10, and each number has a line printed below it. See for which number the line best fits the 20 unit gridline (8 in this example).
49
7 Testing and Maintenance Other Regular Tests
Select Cal. Offset, and select the offset value from 0 to 10 from the list, as determined in step
6
4.
7 The recorder then finishes the calibration printout. Confirm that the line prints on the 20 unit
gridline.

Fetal Recorder Selftest Report

To verify your printer configuration, or if you doubt the performance of the recorder, you may want to print a test report.
To print a selftest report, in Service Mode, select Main Setup -> Fetal Recorder->
Selftest.

This line should print exactly on the 20 unit gridline (Toco baseline) if the recorder is correctly calibrated.
Expected value for PH Volt Min is 0. If value is greater that 0, there may be a TLPH voltage problem.
Speed Value is the tolerance for paper detection. Value should be less than 20. If it is more, there could be a recorder assembly problem. A Paper Value of 2994 is optimal: you may see small variations from this figure.
50
Other Regular Tests 7 Testing and Maintenance
Check the test pattern to ensure all the heating elements on the printer head are operational. Ensure that:
• No more than 20 dots are missing over the entire printhead.
• No more than 2 adjacent dots are inoperative.
• No dots in the mode annotation (for example, FHR1) are inoperative.
If any of the above conditions are not met, replace the recorder assembly (see “Removing the Recorder Assembly” on page 107).
Ensure that all printed lines are straight. If the lines are not straight, there may be a problem with the paper recorder speed.

Obtaining Replacement Parts

See Chapter 9, “Parts”, for details on replacement parts.

Troubleshooting Guide

Problems with the monitor are separated into the categories indicated in the following sections and tables. Check for obvious problems first. If further troubleshooting instructions are required refer to the Troubleshooting Tables.
Taking the recommended actions discussed in this section will correct the majority of problems you may encounter. However, problems not covered here can be resolved by calling Philips Response Center or your local representative.

Checks for Obvious Problems

When first troubleshooting the instrument, check for obvious problems by answering basic questions such as the following:
1 Is the AC power cord connected to the instrument and plugged into an AC outlet?
2 Is the power switch turned on?

Checks Before Opening the Instrument

You can isolate many problems by observing indicators on the instrument before it is necessary to open the instrument.
Checks with the Instrument Switched On, AC connected
When the monitor is connected to AC mains, the green power LED is constantly lit. After switching on, the green power LED blinks during the boot phase, and then remains lit during normal operation. The location of the green LED is shown in the following photograph:

try exchanging the relevant component (transducer, sensor, patient module or board) with a known good replacement, following the procedures in Chapter 10, “Disassembly and Reassembly”. Check to see if the INOP disappears, and that you can measure the parameter in question normally. If the INOP persists, swap back the original component and continue troubleshooting as directed in this chapter.
If you see the
OB EQUIP MALF INOP following a monitor software upgrade, it is likely that the firmware
in the bus master section of the API Board is incompatible with the new software. Check the firmware revision, and upgrade this if necessary with the Support Tool. Contact Philips Support for more information regarding software and firmware revisions.
After checking/upgrading the bus master firmware, and you still suspect a defective API Board, first try plugging the transducers into another monitor. If the transducers work properly with the other monitor, then exchange the API Board.
In the case of the INOPs there are two or more ultrasound transducers attached to the monitor,
FHR1 EQUIP MALF, FHR2 EQUIP MALF, and FHR3 EQUIP MALF, when
identify the transducer for which
the INOP was issued, using the blue transducer Finder LED. Touching a numeric on the screen makes the Finder LED light on the transducer providing the measurement. If you cannot identify the suspected transducer directly because the transducer Finder LED does not light due to the defect, identify the other, functioning transducers by activating their Finder LEDs, thus finding the defective one by a process of elimination.

Serial Numbers

The serial number of the monitor appears on the rear panel. It is also stored electronically in the power supply.
If you exchange the power supply of the monitor, you may have to re-enter the monitor serial number afterwards. Check the serial number of the monitor in the Support Tool device view to see whether this is necessary: if the sixth digit of a monitor serial number is an “X”, you must re-enter the serial number, which you will find on the nameplate. Refer to the Support Tool Instructions for Use for details of how to change or re-enter a serial number.
