FTS-3 Fetal Telemetry System Service Manual
15 Equipment and devices that connect to FTS-3 should form an equipotential body to
ensure effective grounding.
16 Only connect accessories supplied or recommended by the manufacturer to the
device.
17 Do not apply FTS-3 during electro-surgery or MRI; otherwise it might result in harming
the patient or the operator.
18 Electromagnetic Interference - Ensure that the environment in which the monitor or
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, the monitor
or FTS-3 may be interfered.
19 Please arrange a function test periodically for the system.
20 Do not move the system when it is powered on and do not soak it in any liquid.
21 Please check the transducer, cable and base station periodically. If the transducers
are damaged, do not use them in water and repair them in time.
22 If the transducer has been beaten or knocked, please check whether the cover is
airproof or damaged. If you have any doubt, please contact the manufacturer or local
agent.
23 If the battery in the base station is stored alone and not used for a long time, we
recommend that the battery should be charged at least once every 6 months to
prevent overdischarge.
24 The battery in the wireless transducer should be replaced by the serviceman
authorized by EDAN.
25 Do not service or maintain the system or any accessory which is in use with the
patient.
1 Turn off the power supply before cleaning.
2 Electromagnetic Interference - Do not use mobile phones nearby in the process of
monitoring.
3 Electromagnetic Interference - FTS-3 system should not be used adjacent to, or
stacked with, other equipment unless otherwise specified.
4 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.
5 The device and reusable accessories could be sent back to the manufacturer for
recycling or proper disposal after their useful lives.
