The power supply is appropriate. (100 - 240Vac).
Connections (power line or selected equipment) are properly made to the equipment. For
proper connections, refer to Chapter 4.
The equipment is properly grounded. (If not, some noises could be generated.)
The proper measuring accessory for the desired parameter is connected to the equipment prior
to the turning on of the equipment.
The equipment should be placed far from a generator, X-ray equipment broadcasting
equipment or transmitting wires, so as to prevent electrical noises from being generated
during operation. When these devices are near the equipment, it can produce inaccurate
measurements. For BFM-800, both independent circuit and stable grounding are essential
requirements. In the event that the power source is shared with other electronic equipment,
inaccurate outputs may result.
Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be certified
according to the respective IEC standards (e.g. IEC 950 for data processing equipment and
IEC 601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore all configurations shall comply with the
system standard EN 60601-1-1:1993. Everybody who connects additional equipment to the
signal input part or signal output part configures a medical system, and is therefore
responsible that the system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC 601-1-
1:1993. If in doubt, consult the technical service department or your local representative
In the hospital, doctors and patients are expose to dangerous, uncontrollable compensating
currents. These currents are due to the potential differences between connected equipment and
reachable conducting parts often in the medical rooms. The safety solution to the problem is
accomplished with consistent equipotential bonding. Medical equipment is connected with
connecting leads made up of angled sockets to equipotential bonding network in medical rooms.
BFM-800 and its accessories(including probes) can be cleaned using various methods. Please
follow the methods listed below to avoid unnecessary damage or contamination to the equipment.
In the event that harmful (unauthorized) materials are used for cleaning, the damaged or
contaminated equipment shall not be serviced without charges regardless of warranty period.
Please check carefully both frame and sensor after cleaning the equipment. Do not use
equipment that is worn or damaged.
At least once a month, clean and wipe off the frame by using a soft cloth after wetting it with
lukewarm water and alcohol. Do not use lacquer, thinner, ethylene or oxides, which could be
harmful to the equipment. Make sure both cables and accessories are free of dust or contaminants,
and wipe them off with a soft cloth wetted with lukewarm water(40 / 104 ), and at least once
a week, clean them by using clinical alcohol. Do not submerge the accessories in any liquid or
detergent. Also, make sure any liquid is not to get into the equipment or probe.
Place the system far from power generators, X-ray machines, broadcasting stations, and
transmission lines to avoid electrical noise during scanning. Close proximity to such items
may result in abnormal output. An independent circuit and a safety grounded outlet are
strongly recommended for the BPM-800. Poor or abnormal output may occur if the system
shares a power source with other electrical or electronic equipment.
Do not dispose of used probes into any hazard place. Always consider environmental
contamination.
There is real time clock which contains an internal battery inside of the chip. When users
dispose of this chip, please dispose of waste in the proper place for environmental protection.
DS12C887 real time clock.
BFM-800 is the fetal monitor that measures the fetal heart rate and uterine contraction. BFM-800
irradiates ultrasound wave to the abdomen of a pregnant woman, and detects the doppler
frequency signal reflected from the heart of the fetus. BFM-800 analyzes this signal and displays
the waveform of the heart rate in the printer. Also, BFM-800 provides the sound from the heart of
fetus. During delivery, BFM-800 can measure the heart rate of fetus with the FECG electrode.
Also BFM-800 can measure the uterine contraction of a pregnant woman with pressure sensors
and display in waveform along with numerical values. This waveform informs the period and
magnitude of the uterine contraction. BFM-800 displays the various information(HR, UC) of a
fetus and mother in real time on LCD with numerical values. The user can set up or adjust the
setup values by using the keys in the front, such as setting alarm. BFM-800 can measure the
condition of twins and provide the user with the Central System through the use of an optional
Ethernet Card.

Check the following items for the equipment and measuring module, beforeoperating the
equipment.
Check whether there exists any mechanical danger.
Inspect the lead that connects it to outside, the power plug, and accessories.
Check all the measuring instruments required to monitor the fetus.
First, connect the probe to use with the equipment. Generally, connect the probe as follows :
- Antipartum Monitoring of only One Fetus : DOP I, UC, Mark Jack
- Antipartum Monitoring of Twins : DOP I, DOP II, UC, Mark Jack
- Intrapartum Monitoring : FECG
Step 1) Turn the power switch on. It will automatically start the self-diagnosis procedure for the
equipment (If an error message appears, refer to Ch9. Solutions to Simple Problems ).
After the self-diagnosis, the equipment is ready to be used.
Step 2) If you want to change the set values while in use, use the keys of the equipment
(refer to Ch.6)
Step 3) Put the probe to measure on the abdomen of a pregnant woman. Fix the probe by fastening
the belt. (refer to 5.5, 5.6, 5.7)
Step 4) Hear the sound of the heart and check the heart rate value displayed on the LCD.
Step 5) Print the value of measurement by record key. (Refer to related items in this manual about
the measuring and setup.)
5.4 Key
(1) (Volume Up) : Volume Up key of selected module of FHR I or FHR II. During the use
of the Menu for setup, this key is used to move between items of Menu or change the
setting value.
(2) (Volume Down) : Volume Down key of selected module of FHR I or II. During the use
of the Menu for setup, this key is used to move between items of Menu or change the
setting value.
Lamp
The LEDs on the lower right of the front panel show the kind of the power used.
(8) (AC Power) : Green LED is turned on when using AC Power.
(9) (Battery) : Orange LED is turned on when using Battery.
To measure FHR, put the ultrasonic gel on the surface of the probe.
If heart rate is beyond the heart rate limit of the alarm, the warning message (Tachycardia or
Bradycardia) is displayed and alarm rings.
During monitoring, if the line of probe breaks down or the probe comes out from the connector,
the message ( DOP I OFF or DOP II OFF ) is displayed and the information sound Ding
Dong is heard.
Measurement of FHR
(1) Touch the abdomen of a pregnant woman and search for the back of the fetus, then, put
Doppler probe on that region. In the case that a fetus lays itself down sideways, put down
Doppler probe as seen in the figure below.
In the case of fixing the probe on the front of a fetus, not the back, brings about an inaccurate
measurement of heart rate owing to unstable signal from the fetus.
When the fetus is heading down-ward or up-ward, you must pay attention to placing the probe.
Put the probe around the navel of the patient.
(2) Moving the probe around slowly, search for the position where you can hear the heart-beating
more clearly, then, fasten the belt after positioning the probe.
Do not push the volume key until you find a correct position with probe. When you position
the probe on the correct area and hear a relatively clearheart-beat and see a FHR rhythm symbol
blinking as per the heart-beat, you can adjust volume key as needed.
(3) Carefully fasten the belt so that probe doesn t slip.
As shown in the drawing, above you need to arrange the probe up-ward of the patient, to
minimize cable damage and use it more efficiently.
(4) Put the ultrasonic gel on Doppler probe to prevent the attenuation of the ultrasound signal and
remove the bubble between the abdomen and the probe.
(5) BFM-800 uses Doppler probe with the Button-Top form. Stick the button of Doppler probe in
the button-hole of belt to fix Doppler probe.
(6) 4~5 seconds is needed to calculate and display the heart rate. If the stable heart rate is
displayed, start printing.
5.6 UC Measurement
With the help of the belt, the UC probe is used in measuring external uterine contraction. UC
probe is affixed on the maternal abdominal wall and measures UC by the pressure made by
uterine contraction.
Connecting UC Probe
Connect UC probe with the connector(UC) at the bottom of the equipment.
Initial Screen according to connecting UC Probe
If you don t connect UC probe, two hyphens are displayed on the UC value area. If you begin
to measure UC, the value proportionate to the uterine contraction of patient is displayed. During
monitoring, if the line of probe breaks down or probe comes out from the connector, the
message UC OFF! is displayed and the information sound Ding Dong is heard.
UC Measurement
(1) Place UC probe at 10cm upper of navel (fundus) and fasten with belt. If UC probe are placed
at below navel, measurement can be influenced by maternal respiration.
(2) Fasten UC probe with belt. At this time, UC value must show 20 ~ 90.
(3) Push Reference key to make UC value 10 .
(4) When uterine contraction is not occurred, check the place of UC probe again.
After fastening UC probe with belt, you need to push Reference key one time before use.
Afterward, UC reference is automatically setted.
If you want to change UC probe position, you need to try above four steps again.
You must print by pushing Record key after Doppler probe and UC probe are placed at right
position.
Even if FECG probe is connected, but if you don t use FECG probe, no sound rings. And 0 is
displayed on the heart rate value area. If you begin to m o n i t o r, the measured heart rate is
displayed on that area and the heart rhythm symbol blinks in synchronism to the beating of the
heart. If only the outer ring of the heart rhythm symbol blinks, it represents the measured heart rate
is unstable. And you can hear the beep sound representing the period of the heart-beating. The
sound volume can be controlled by UP/DOWN key. If the heart rate is beyond the heart rate limit
of alarm, the warning message ( Tachycardia or Bradycardia) is displayed and alarm sound rings.
During monitoring, if the line of probe breaks down or the probe comes out of the connector, the
message FECG OFF is displayed and the information sound Ding Dong is heard.
FECG Measurement
(1) Connect FECG transducer with the equipment and fix the metal plate of FECG transducer to
the thigh of the mother.
(2) Connect intradermal electrode with the terminal of FECG transducer. (If necessary, refer to the
manual on packing of intradermal electrode.) Push the plug of FECG transducer terminal and
put each wire of the intradermal electrode in the hole of the terminal. The two pieces of wire
from the intradermal electrode may not be put in the same hole.
(3) Check the direction of the spiral of intradermal electrode and stick and affix the electrode into
the scalp of fetus head. Then, the Heart Rate of fetus is displayed on the FHR II area of LCD.
You can hear the beep sound and see the Heart Rhythm representing the period of heart-
beating.
(4) 4~5 seconds is needed to calculate and display the Heart Rate. If a stable Heart Rate is
displayed, start printing.
MARKER is used to record the fetal movement perceived by the mother. If a mother presses the
button of Marker, an arrow is printed on paper. MARK JACK is connected with the Mark
connector on the bottom of the equipment.

and print again.
Door Open ! : The grip of printer is lifted up.
Paper Out ! : paper is used up or caught in the roller of printer.
OFFSET of FHR II
(1) When you monitor FHR I, II at the same time, it is hard to distinguish FHR I from FHR II if
the measurements of FHR I are similar to those of FHR II. At this time, the OFFSET function
will help you. If you use OFFSET , FHR II measurement is printed by 20(bpm) added value.
(2) Before printing, set the Offset(+20 in Print setup Menu) as o n b y MENU/UP/DOWN/
RECORD key.
(3) This setting will not be changed even if the power is off. Therefore, if you don t want to use
OFFSET function afterwards, you must change the setup to off
