Precautions for Use
3.1 Principle and Features of BFM-900L
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
measured with pressure sensors, as well as printing out the data to inform the level of her labor
pain and frequency. BFM-900L is that the adjustments and values of the signals can easily be
controlled with simple key controls. BFM-900L is capable of measuring twin fetus, and supports
an optional central monitoring system on serial communication. It is also available AST(optional)
function.

■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
twin fetus, connect both terminals.
■Basic Screen by Probe Connection
If the DOP Probe is not attached, nothing shows on the screen where the heart rate is displayed,
and no sound or heart symbol signal shows.
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
during usage, each of the FHR on the FND will show “---”. “PRO OFF”and “d-1”, “d-2”, “UC”
will displays by turns in the maximum/minimum alarm level FND. The error code will also
displays in the Auto Print FND. And information sound(ding dong ding dong) will be heard.
Error Codes
-E1 : Paper Out during printing
-E2 : DOP1 Probe is disconnected during using
-E3 : DOP2 Probe is disconnected during using (If “E2”error occurs, it will not be displayed)
-E4 : UC Probe is disconnected during using (If “E2”or “E3”errors occur, it will not be

■FHR Measurement
(1) Touch the patient’s belly and search for the fetus°Øs back and place the DOP Probe. If the
fetus is positioned facing left or right, place the probe as shown on the picture.
If the probe is placed on the front of the fetus instead of the back, the focus tends to often
disrupt, and you may not get an accurate reading.
If the fetus is facing up or down, take extra caution to place the probe. Place the probe around
the patient’s navel.
(2) Move the probe slightly around and locate the area where the fetus’s heartbeat sounds the
loudest, and then use the belt to fasten the probe.
Do not adjust the volume until you have located an exact position with the probe.
Place the probe at the exact location, that is, an area where the heartbeat is heard loud and
strong, and the FHR heartbeat rhythm symbol blinks in sync with the fetus’s heartbeat, and then
adjust the volume.
(3) When using the belt to fasten the probe, make sure it does not slip.
As shown above, the probe cable going up in the direction of the patient’s head can prevent
damage to the cable and the probe does not move as much.
(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
above the navel) or, the point on the patient’s belly where it has become the first place to
harden up.
(3) Insert the protruding buttons on the opposite side of the UC Probe surface to the Button-Holes
on the belt under the patient. The recommended tightness on the fastening of the belt is from
20 to 90.
(4) If the UC Probe is attached but not in use, a meaningless number displays on the screen. When
using the UC Probe, press the “Reference”key to reset the default value of 10 on the front
panel before use. BFM-900L shows the LED bar of uterine contraction level.
(5) Once a stable UC value is found, the printing begins.
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.

5.7 How to use Printer
The printer used in BFM-900L is a 4 inch Porti-M400V, made by Wooshim System. It uses 9V
Power and the width of the printing paper is 112mm.
■■Printer Operation
(1) “REC”indicator will turns on as red color after pressing the “Print”(or “Record”) key once.
And the FHR1, FHR2, UC, and the Fetal Movement (FM 1, FM 2) are recorded. FM will not
be recorded by the user’s menu setting.
(2) If you press the “Print”key once again the red colored LED will disappears and the recording
stops. The Printer scrolls out 1~2cm of extra sheet after the recording has stopped.
(3) The FHR 2 graph can be printed +20bpm more than the FHR 1 area. If you turn on the offset,
“Offset”indicator will turns on as green color
■■Auto Operation
(1) Control the print time. Print time is set by 10min, 20min, 30min, 40min, 50min, 60min and
off. If you use “OFF”, it will stop printing by press the “Print”button or out of paper.
(2) After finishing the setting by users, it will apply to the initial printing. This setting applies to
the “AUTO PRINT”area. This setting value is displayed the remained operation time.
■■FHR 2 Offset Operation
(1) Using 2 Probes simultaneously to measure FHR 1, 2, and the value comes out similar is when
it’s most effective. The Offset draws a graph by increasing +20bpm from the FHR 2 value.
(2) Before using the printer, use the “Up/Down/Enter”key to turn the Offset On.
(3) Once the “Offset : On”status is confirmed, another 20 is added to the FHR 2 value. After
finishing the setting by users, it will apply to the initial printing.
■■ZOOM Operation
(1) Use this function when you want to see the changes in the FHR more closely.
(2) When you select “On”in the “Zoom”category in the Print Setup, the FHR area is expanded
about 105 ~ 200 BPM than the normal range. After finishing the setting by users, it will apply
to the initial printing.
■■SPEED Operation
(1) Control the print speed.(1cm/min, 2cm/min and 3cm/min)
(2) After finishing the setting by users, it will apply to the initial printing
■■CONTRAST Operation
(1) Control the contrast of print by 3-step. High number is thicker to print.
(2) After finishing the setting by users, it will apply to the initial printing. This setting does not
apply during the printing. This setting also applies to the graph area.
■■FM Operation
