SECTION 2
The equipment should be kept clean, dry, and free of transducer gel and other substances.
Direct monitoring should be used only under aseptic conditions,
Do not operate the unit if it is damp or wet due to condensation or spills. Avoid moving the equipment from a cold environ-
ment to a warm humid location. If the equipment is brought inside from outdoors, and is cold to the touch or below room
temperature, allow the unit to stabilize at room temperature before operating.
Use only Corometrics approved transducers with the monitor.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Domestic (U.S.A.) equipment models are manufactured to operate from a hospital grade three-wire 120 volt AC electrical
outlet. Corometrics recommends the use of dedicated AC power lines. The equipment can be modified to accept other AC
line voltages and outlet types; however, only those personnel designated by Corometrics Medical Systems, Inc. are authorized
to make such modifications.
ЛА WARNING: Do not use adaptors or make AC plug modifications. Such changes could defeat the
three-wire safety ground of the AC power cord and result in a dangerous electrical shock hazard to
both operator and patient.
LEAKAGE CURRENT
Corometrics Fetal Monitors are designed to comply with Underwriters Laboratory (UL 544), CSA, IEC, and TUV standards
for leakage current in patient connected medical equipment. The system’s ultrasound and tocotransducers are electrically
isolated, and leakage current is limited to a few microamperes even when full power line voltage is applied to these devices.
However, for maximum patient safety, a leakage test should be conducted following any repair or servicing of the monitor.
When conducting a leakage test, conform to the UL 544 standards or similar ones such as the AAMI Safe Current Limits
Standard on Leakage Current.
