What You Need for Monitoring Triplets
The M1360-61671 triplets cable lets you connect either an 8040A or an 8041A Fetal Monitor to a
M1350A (Series 50 IX) or a M1350B/C (Series 50 XM/XMO) Intrapartum Fetal/Maternal Monitor.
This connection lets you monitor three non-invasive fetal heart rates (FHRs) plus one maternal heart
rate (MHR).
WARNING
Do not use AC mains extension cords or multiple portable socket-outlets for the electrical supply to the
fetal monitors, in order to prevent excessive enclosure leakage currents.
To use this connection you need:
• M1350A or M1350B/C with telemetry interface or telemetry system interface.
• Standard 8041A or 8040A with interface option J01.
The M1350A or M1350B/C measures the FHR of triplets 1 and 2. The 8040A/8041A measures the
FHR of the third triplet and sends the information to the M1350A/B/C ("master device"). All three
measurements are documented on the M1350A/B/C.
The third trace is not transmitted to OB TraceVue or any other obstetrical surveillance system, so it is
important to retain the paper trace as part of the medical records.
Installation Requirements for Monitoring Triplets
Installation should be carried out by qualified technical personnel.
Connect the cable provided to the 25 pin connector on the telemetry interface or telemetry system
interface of the M1350A or M1350B/C as shown in the following figure:
