Responsibility of the Manufacturer

Responsibility of the User

This device is intended for use by clinical professionals who are expected to know

the medical procedures, practices, and terminology required to monitor obstetrical

patients. This manual documents all possible parameters available in the 250cx

Series of monitors. It is the responsibility of each hospital to ensure that the Labor

and Delivery staff is trained in all aspects of the selected model.

The 250cx Series Monitor is designed to assist the perinatal staff by providing

information regarding the clinical status of the mother and fetus during labor. The

monitor does not replace observation and evaluation of the mother and fetus at

regular intervals, by a qualified care provider, who will make diagnoses and decide

on treatments or interventions. Visual assessment of the monitor display and strip

chart must be combined with knowledge of patient history and risk factors to

properly care for the mother and fetus.
