Sonicaid Team Operator’s Manual

System Installation
The following requirements must be met when you connect a Sonicaid Team fetal
monitor to a central review and archiving system, or to a PC:
1 Non-medical equipment must comply with the relevant IEC or ISO safety standard.
For Information Technology equipment, this standard is IEC950/EN60950.
2 Medical equipment must comply with IEC601-1/EN60601-1, medical safety standard.
3 The configured system must comply with the system standard IEC601-1-1/EN60601-1-1,
medical safety standard
4 If non-medical equipment (eg the PC or printer) with enclosure leakage currents
greater than those allowed by IEC601-1/EN60601-1 is to be used in the patient
environment (within 1.5m of the patient), you must bring the enclosure leakage
currents within the limits laid down by IEC601-1/EN60601-1. This may be done by
using an isolating transformer such as the one supplied by Sonicaid Products
5 Anybody who connects additional equipment to signal input or signal output
parts of the system is configuring a medical system, and is therefore responsible
for ensuring that the system complies with IEC601-1-1/EN60601-1-1. If you are
in any doubt whether your system does comply, consult the technical service
department of your local Sonicaid Products representative.
The connection of extra equipment to the patient or to Sonicaid Team could lead to
the summation of leakage currents. In such circumstances the user must ensure that
safe leakage currents are not exceeded.
Calibration
There is no special procedure for calibrating Sonicaid Team.
