Strip Chart Recorder
Figure 3-6. Strip Chart Recorder
The strip chart recorder is located on the right side of the front panel. Latches on
each side of the recorder open the paper drawer.
Two styles of paper are available: 30-240 BPM scale and 50-210 BPM scale.
Refer to “Chapter 4, Setup Procedures” for instructions on loading strip chart paper
into the recorder.
Heart Rate Grid
One or two fetal heart rate trends print in the top (or left) grid of the strip chart
paper—depending on your model monitor and the active modalities.
If only one fetal heart rate is being monitored, the FHR trend is printed in black. If
twins are being monitored, the primary trend is printed in plain black while the
secondary trend is bolded.
Refer to the “170 Series Operator’s Manual” for additional information about fetal
heart rate trends and annotations.
