WARNING
1 Before insertion of IUPC, placental position should be confirmed, amniotic
membranes are adequately ruptured and sufficient cervical dilatation is assured.
2 Try to insert the catheter opposite the placental site. Do not insert the introducer
beyond the cervical OS. Use it with caution when uterine infection is present.
3 If resistance is met at any time during insertion, withdraw the catheter slightly and try
at a different angle. Forced insertion may result in patient’s discomfort or injury.
CAUTION
1 Since procedures vary according to hospital needs/preferences, it is the responsibility
of the hospital staff to determine exact policies and procedures for both monitoring
and amnioinfusion. The safe and effective use of the IUPC depends on the skill of the
clinician who applies /uses it.
2 The IUPC has been sterilized by gamma radiation and is sterilized and non-pyrogenic
unless package is broken or open. Do not re-sterilize it.
NOTE:
Refer to the instruction on the package for more information about using the IUPC.
7.6.3 IUP Monitoring Procedure
1) Insert IUPC using the procedure described in section 7.6.2 Directions for Use of IUPC.
2) Connect the IUPC to the IUP cable.
Figure 7-13 Connect Catheter to Pressure Cable
3) Connect the IUP cable to the connecting cable. (They might have already been well
connected in the package.)
4) Plug the connecting cable to the TOCO/IUP socket of the monitor.
5) Momentarily pressing the re-zero button on the IUP cable. The green light on the cable
will flash for five seconds. During this period, zero the monitor by pressing the AUTO
ZERO key. Make sure the display numeric and trace are both “0”.
6) Ask the mother to cough. A spike on the trace in response to the cough indicates proper
positioning and function of the IUPC.
7) Wash timely during monitoring. A spike on the tracing will respond to the washing.
