F6 and F6 Express Fetal & Maternal Monitor User Manual
When the monitor gives out an alarm and catches your attention, you should:
- Check the patient's condition.
- Identify the cause of the alarm.
- Silence the alarm if necessary.
- Check if the alarm is terminated when the alarm condition is solved.
When the monitored parameter(s) come(s) back within the adjusted limits, or if the abnormal
technical condition does not exist any longer, the monitor stops giving out the alarm.
