Instructions For Use
EN
Switch off the system power before cleaning. Cleaning consists of removing all
dust from the exterior surface of the equipment with a soft brush or cloth.
Only the sensor and cable of US/TOCO transducers are watertight. Pay
attention not let any liquid enter the transducer plug.
The materials with which the patient or any other person can come into contact
conform to the standard of EN ISO 10993-1.
Electromagnetic Interference - Ensure that the environment in which FTS-3 is
installed is not subject to any source of strong electromagnetic interference,
such as CT, radio transmitters, mobile phone base stations, etc. Even though
other devices are in accordance with national standard radiation requirements,
FTS-3 may suffer interference.
Electromagnetic Interference - Do not use in close proximity to mobile phones.
Electromagnetic Interference - Fetal parameters, especially ultrasound and
ECG, are sensitive measurements involving small signals, and the monitoring
equipment contains very sensitive high gain front-end amplifiers. Immunity
levels for radiated RF electromagnetic fields and conducted disturbances
induced by RF fields are subject to technological limitations. To ensure that
external electromagnetic fields do not cause erroneous measurements, it is
recommended to avoid the use of electrically radiating equipment in close
proximity to these measurements.
Electromagnetic Interference - FTS-3 should not be used adjacent to or
stacked with other equipment, refer to section A6.2 Recommended Separation
Distances
Electromagnetic interference is not unique to this system but is characteristic
of fetal patient monitoring equipment in use today. This performance is due
to very sensitive high gain front-end amplifiers required to process the small
physiological signals from the patient. Among the various monitoring systems
already in clinical use, interference from electromagnetic sources is rarely a
problem
The medical electrical equipment needs to be installed and put into service
according to Appendix 6 EMC Information.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical
electrical equipment, refer to section A6.2 Recommended Separation
Distances.
If the terminals of the battery become dirty, wipe with a dry cloth before using
the battery
Accessories and consumables are subject to the WEEE (Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment) regulations and should be disposed of responsibly in
accordance with local procedures.
