Introduction: Safety Information
The information presented in this section is important for the safety of both the
patient and operator. This chapter describes how the terms Danger, Warning,
Caution, Important, and Note are used throughout the manual. In addition, standard
equipment symbols are defined.
GE is responsible for the effects on safety, reliability, and performance if:
assembly operations, extensions, readjustments, modifications, or
repairs are carried out by persons authorized by GE;
the electrical installation of the relevant room complies with the
requirements of appropriate regulations; and
the monitor is used in accordance with the instructions of use.
This device is intended for use by clinical professionals who are expected to know
the medical procedures, practices, and terminology required to monitor obstetrical
patients. This manual documents all possible parameters available in the 250cx
Series of monitors. It is the responsibility of each hospital to ensure that the Labor
and Delivery staff is trained in all aspects of the selected model.
The 250cx Series Monitor is designed to assist the perinatal staff by providing
information regarding the clinical status of the mother and fetus during labor. The
monitor does not replace observation and evaluation of the mother and fetus at
regular intervals, by a qualified care provider, who will make diagnoses and decide
on treatments or interventions. Visual assessment of the monitor display and strip
chart must be combined with knowledge of patient history and risk factors to
properly care for the mother and fetus.
References to persons, places, and institutions used within this manual are solely
intended to facilitate user comprehension of the 250cx Series Monitor's use and
functions. Extreme care has been taken to use fictitious names and related
information in the examples and illustrations provided herein. Any similarity of this
data to persons either living or dead and to either current or previously existing
medical institutions should be regarded as coincidental.
