F15 Series Fetal & Maternal Monitor User Manual After Monitoring
- 106 -
To change the HR beep volume,
1 Select the main menu key on the main interface.
2 Select Mother > HR Beep.
3 Select OFF (default), Low or High.
4 Select OK.
NOTE:
1 The DECG beep and HR beep share the same audio channel. Once the HR beep is switched
on, the DECG beep is disabled (set to OFF) automatically.
2 Once the DECG/HR beep volume is changed, the sound switches to channel 1 automatically.
Therefore, it is advised against changing DECG/HR beep volume in the monitoring process.
8.3.5 Enabling HR Trace
The real-time MHR measurement result is displayed in the parameter area of the main interface. Also,
you can choose to display and print those as a continuous trace on the recorder paper (refer to figure
5-1).
To enable or disable HR trace printing,
1 Select the main menu key on the main interface.
2 Select Recorder > HR Trace.
3 Select ON or OFF (default).
4 Select OK.
8.3.6 Signals Overlap Verification
When monitoring maternal heart rate and fetal heart rate at the same time, there are possibilities that
maternal HR signal is mistaken for FHR signal. The SOV function of the monitor can also reduce
these possibilities.
In the process of monitoring, if the SOV detects signals overlapping, an alarm message “Signals
Overlap (FHR1/FHR2/ FHR3/DFHR/eFHR, HR)” or “Signals Overlap (FHR1, FHR2, HR)” or “Signals
Overlap (FHR1, FHR3, HR)” or “Signals Overlap (FHR2, FHR3, HR)” or “Signals Overlap (DFHR,
FHR2, HR)” or “Signals Overlap (DFRH, FHR3, HR)” or “Signals Overlap (FRH1, FHR2, FHR3,
HR)” or “Signals Overlap (DFHR, FHR2, FHR3, HR)” will appear on the screen to warn you.
Checking the patient and reposition of transducers might be needed.
WARNING
Though SOV alarm function helps to detect the overlap of MHR and FHR automatically, do
not rely solely on it to judge whether the mother is the signal source. As in the process of
actual monitoring, the movement of transducer and fetus, detecting MHR by mistake,
interference of fetal movement and maternal movement can cause fetal heart signal weak
and loss, and magnified error of fetal heart calculation led by poor signal. In these
situations, SOV alarm function can not totally identify the signal overlap, so user needs to
observe MHR trace and FHR trace simultaneously to help the judgment and adjust the
transducer to the optimal position in time.

8.4.1 Introduction
The monitor measures blood pressure using the oscillometric method.
Oscillometric devices measure the amplitude of pressure changes in the occluding cuff as the cuff
