F15 Series Fetal & Maternal Monitor User Manual Basic Operation

NOTE:
1. Fix the wireless transducers tightly to ensure that they will not shift during movement.
2. It is recommended that the transducer should be placed when the patient stands for
better monitoring.
3. Instruct the patient to move in the prescriptive area and distance for obtaining better
signal.
4. Please apply coupling gel to the US transducer before use and move the transducer to
get the desired fetal heart and belt it to the belly.
5. Excessive coupling gel may slide the transducer.
3.4.4 Monitor the Ambulatory Patient
For ambulatory patients, you can take out the transducer from the docking slot and fix the transducer
on the location where the best fetal heart signal is received.
Please pay attention to the following during the monitoring.
Ensure the transducer is tied up well.
Record the effective FHR.
The patient should not walk in strong tramps.
The patient should move in the prescriptive area, hold the US transducer slightly in case of
sliding.
The patient should be under monitoring when the wireless signal is good.
When the patient moves during monitoring, the interference may occur. The artificial interference may
influence the signal transmission quality. It will cause drop out or other interference if the transducer
works in the changing environment. Some kind of the artificial interference can be anticipated and
others can be discovered by observing the signal.
Some artificial interference may be caused by certain place. You can leave the place such as the
elevator or the window in iron for the place with signal reception.
The FHR may not be detected clearly when the patient moves in virtue of artificial interference. During
cableless monitoring, the occasional US /TOCO /DECG&IUP dropouts are inevitable.
The manufacturer has no control over the RF environment in the places where the monitor is used. If
interference exists at operating frequencies, the monitor performance will be affected. You can
change the working channel or move the monitor away from the interference to solve the problem.
Caution
1 The patient’s steps may interfere with the monitoring of fetal heartbeats. It is suggested
that the patient walks as less as possible.
2 Movement may interfere with the monitoring and computing of FHR. Please try to avoid
them.
3.5 Operating and Navigating
3.5.1 Screen Elements
Everything you need to operate the monitor is contained on its screen. Almost all the elements on the
screen is interactive. Screen elements include information fields, waveforms/menu fields,
measurement numerics, status fields, and screen keys.
