2.3 Maintenance and Cleanness CHAPTER 3 Overview of BFM-900L

You can maintain cleanliness on BFM-900L and its accessories (including the probe) in various
ways. Use the method provided below to avoid damage or contamination on the equipment.
3.1 Principle and Features of BFM-900L
If you use materials that can damage the product, (non-approved cleaning material) the warranty
will be voided. BFM-900L is a Fetal Monitor, which basically measures the fetus’s heart rate and the patient’s
uterus shrinkage. BFM-900L sends supersonic signal to the patient’s abdomen and then measures
the signal returned from the fetus’s heart. It then sorts out the Doppler frequency from the returned
signal and converts it into the heart beat of the fetus. The signal is then analyzed and displayed as
the fetus’s heartbeat and printed out on a printer. The patient’s contraction level of uterus can be

- Check the connection status of Power Cord.
- Do not plug various cords into an electric consent.
- Place the main body on flat place.
- Ground it. (Otherwise, noise may be made).
- Do not use an electric cord that may generate noise.
Stick the Power Cable into BFM-900L Power Connection Terminal and change the Power Switch
- Probe may be damaged by impact. Do not get the Probe externally impacted nor submerge it in

you must reconfigure the information.
2) Connection of Main Body with Probe

- Connect the probe desired to be measured to the connection terminal part on the left face of the main body.
4.2 Installation of Main Body
- If not properly connected, problem may occur.
BFM-900L is designed to be easily used on a normal table, cart, or any other appliances
commonly found in a hospital environment. Normally, you can use the handle in the back of the
device and place it on a flat surface. Since the center of gravity of the device is low, key
manipulation on the device will not topple it over. It also does not slip.

5.5 Measurement of FHR and UC
Apply ample amount of Supersonic Gel on the surface of the Probe.
The DOP and UC Probe used in BFM-900L previous models are designed to be
used under water.
Doppler and UC probes are applied by IPX7 so they can be used for the underwater delivery
in the water.

■Probe Connection
Connect DOP1, DOP2, and UC probes at the left side of the device. There are 2 Doppler probes
and you may connect them to any one of the DOP1, DOP2 and UC Terminals. When diagnosing Error Codes

-E2 : DOP1 Probe is disconnected during using
■Basic Screen by Probe Connection -E3 : DOP2 Probe is disconnected during using (If “E2” error occurs, it will not be displayed)
If the DOP Probe is not attached, nothing shows on the screen where the heart rate is displayed, -E4 : UC Probe is disconnected during using (If “E2” or “E3” errors occur, it will not be

-E5 : Low Battery (If “E2”, “E3” or “E4” errors occur, it will not be displayed)
If the DOP Probe is attached but not used, the status is Stand-By, and heartbeat area shows “---”
until the diagnosis starts. When the diagnosis starts, the calculated heartbeat shows on the screen.
If heartbeat is under 50 or heartbeat sound cannot be measured, heartbeat area shows “---”.
If the heartbeat displayed on screen goes over or under the alarm level limit, an alarm will sound
and alarm lamp will change green to red and FHR value will be twinkled.
Also, if the probe line is cut or the probe has been pulled off from the machine, and if it is disabled

(4) It is important to apply ample amount of Supersonic gel on the probe surface to get rid of air
bubbles in between the abdomen and the probe.
(5) BFM-900L uses a Button-Top styled DOP Probe. Insert the protruding buttons on the opposite
side of the DOP Probe surface to the Button-Hole on the belt under the patient.
(6) It takes 4 to 5 seconds for the heartbeat to show. Once a stable heartbeat is displayed the
printing begins.
■UC Measurement
UC measurement uses an external attachable pressure sensor. Once the UC Probe is placed on the
patient’s abdomen, the pressure fluctuation of the patient°Øs uterus enables the contraction level.
(1) Place the belt underneath the back of the patient.

(2) Place the UC Probe on the highest point of the patient’s belly (Fundus: Usually about 10 cm

5.6 How to use Event Mark
The purpose of the marking is to record the moment when the patient senses the start of the fetal
movement. When you press the Mark switch during printing an arrow shows on the printing
paper. Mark Jack is connected to the left connection terminal of the device.
