section 7.3.3 Directions for Using Fetal Spiral Electrode.
d) Fix an attachment pad electrode to DECG cable.
e) Remove the film on the back of the electrode and place the electrode on maternal thigh; press
it firmly in place.
f) Connect the fetal spiral electrode to the DECG cable.
g) Insert connector of DECG cable into the DECG socket of the monitor.
WARNING
1 Do not plug the fetal spiral electrode wire into the power socket.
2 Never attempt to connect the fetal spiral electrode to anything other than the correct
DECG cable.
CAUTION
Do not mistake the higher maternal heart rate for DECG.
NOTE:
1 If there is any doubt as to the presence of a fetal heart signal with ECG, check with
the US transducer on the patient’s abdomen or with a separate diagnostic
instrument. The presence of an audible heart sound at a rate distinct from that of the
maternal pulse is unequivocal evidence of the fetal life.
2 After the electrode is well attached, allow a few minutes for the electrode and fetal
tissue to become stabilized. It is essential that the ECG signal electrode is in good
contact with the fetal presenting part.
