tube by rotating the drive handle clockwise until gentle resistance is encountered. Resistance to
further rotation and recoil of the drive handle indicates that the spiral electrode is well attached to
the fetus.
7 Release the electrode wires from the handle notch and straighten them. Slide the drive and
guide tubes off the electrode wires.
