CADENCE II Fetal Monitor User Manual
- 3 -
A 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.
A Do not apply this monitor and other ultrasonic equipment simultaneously on a same
patient, in case of possible hazard caused by leakage current superposition.
A Do not apply this monitor simultaneously with other PATIENT-connected equipment,
such as, a cardiac pacemaker or other electrical stimulators, on the same patient.
A Do not switch on device until all cables have been properly connected and verified.
A Do not touch the signal input or output connector and the patient simultaneously.
A Equipment and devices that connect to the monitor should form an equipotential
body to ensure effective grounding.
A Disconnect the power cord before changing fuses. Replace them with those of the
same specifications only.
A 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.
A SHOCK HAZARD - Do not remove the top panel cover during operation or while
power is connected.
A The monitor is not protected against defibrillation. Do not apply it during
electro-surgery or MRI; otherwise it might result in harming the patient or the
operator.
A To ensure the proper working of the monitor, only connect accessories supplied or
recommended by the manufacturer to the device.
A Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be
validated according to the respective IEC/EN standards (e.g. IEC/EN 60950 for
data processing equipment and IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical equipment).
Furthermore all configurations shall comply with the valid version of the system
standard IEC/EN 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/EN 60601-1-1. If in doubt, consult our technical
service department or your local distributor.
