4) UC Measurement
UC (Uterine Contraction) can be measured with an externally attached pressure sensor. If the
UC Probe is put on the abdomen of a pregnant woman, it measures a relative pressure
changing according to the uterine contraction and records uterine contraction.
▣ Probe Connection
Connect the UC Probe to the “UC” terminal at its right side.
▣ Basic Actions According to the Connection of the UC Probe
If the UC Probe is not connected to the equipment, there is no indication at the UC indication
section. If the UC Probe is connected to the equipment, there appears a value of “10” which
indicates that the preparation for measurement has been finished. If a line of the UC Probe is
down or the Probe is disconnected from the main body, a warning signal of “Ding-dong~♬” is
made. This signal stops when the Probe is connected again or any of keys on the operation
panel is pressed.
▣ UC Measurement
① Put the belt beneath the back part of a pregnant woman to fix the Probe.
② Put the UC Probe on the Fundus (approximately 10 centimeters away from the navel
upward) or on the part that a lump is firstly made at her abdomen.
③ Put the button projected from the upper part of the UC Probe into a hole of the belt to fix the
Probe. Control the belt to set the UC value between 20 and 90.
④ Press the REFERENCE Key on the operation panel to set the standard value at 10.
⑤ If the stable UC value is indicated on the UC indication section, start to record it.
