Modem Interface Module
Introduction
The modem interface module allows fetal trace information to be transmitted from a Series
50 A/IP-2 Fetal Monitor to a receiver that is part of an OB
TraceVue system.
The modem interface module (with the addition of an approved PCMCIA modem) enables
fetal traces to be transmitted over a standard telephone line. The receiver software displays
the trace information, allowing it to be reviewed, printed and stored.
Warning
To avoid possible electrical hazards:
Whenever a patient is connected to the fetal monitor the cable to the telephone system
must be disconnected.
Never touch open contacts on the cable which is connected to the telephone system.
Fitting the Modem Interface Module
To connect the modem interface module:
1. Remove the cover (or any other interface module) from the Interface Socket on the
monitor.
2. Connect the modem interface module to the Interface Socket.
3. Once the module is fitted, secure it in position by fixing it to the base of the monitor
with the screw provided.
