Preparing to Monitor Cablelessly
When monitoring cablelessly with the FM20/30/40/40 monitors, most of the same procedures apply
as described in “Preparing to Monitor” on page 48. Additions and deviations applying to cableless
devices and existing procedures are described here.
CL Transducers
1 To monitor cablelessly with the CL transducers, assign them at the base station as described in
“CL Transducer Assignment” on page 98.
2 Place the CL transducers and the belt on the patient described in “Fastening Belts and
Transducers” on page 50.
3 Check the measurements on the monitor, and if necessary, move the CL transducers until you have
a good signal for all measurements.
IntelliVue CL Pods
1 To monitor cablelessly with the IntelliVue CL Pods, assign them at the base station as described in
“CL Pod Assignment” on page 99.
2 Put the CL Pods in their cradles and place them on the patient as described in the IntelliVue
Cableless Measurements Instructions for Use.
Applying the CL Fetal & Maternal Patch and Pod
WARNING
Do not use the CL Fetal & Maternal Pod and electrode patch for monitoring if:
• The skin on the abdomen of the patient has established erythema, lesions, infection, inflammation,
or any kind of injuries at the applications site
• The patient has a history of skin irritation, allergies, or hypersensitivity to adhesives
• The patient carries multiple fetuses
• The gestational age is less than 36 completed weeks. The measurement method is also only
validated with patients in labor.
CAUTION
During handling, avoid close contact of the CL Fetal & Maternal Pod or the electrode patch to an
implanted pacemaker or defibrillator.
