OBIX BeCA can be isolated from the power
outlet by unplugging the power cord. Ensure
the power cord plug is fully accessible at all
times.
The fetal monitor is a Class 1 product that
relies for safety on its protective earth.
Ensure it is connected to a grounded,
hospital-grade AC power outlet.
If this product is connected to another item
of electrical equipment, ensure that the
system is fully compliant with IEC 60601-
1:2005.
Do not use in the home environment. Do not use in vehicles or in aircraft.
Do not use with electrosurgical devices. Do not expose to excessive heat, including
prolonged exposure to sunlight.

accessories.
This equipment is for use only by suitably
qualified healthcare practitioners.
When setting up the fetal monitor, consider
and minimize the risk of persons tripping
