Entering Notes
Your monitor has a set of 15 factory pre-configured notes (see below). It is possible to edit these notes
in Configuration Mode (see the Configuration Guide). The maximum length of one single note is
30 characters.
To enter a note:
1 Select the Enter Notes SmartKey to open the Enter Note menu.
2 Scroll if necessary, then select the note you wish to enter. A confirmation dialog box opens:
3 Select Confirm to enter the note. The note is then shown in the status line of the display, and is
annotated on the fetal trace if the fetal recorder is on.
4 By default, notes are printed lengthwise in the direction of the trace, in the space between the FHR
grid and the uterine activity grid. If you prefer, you can configure the recorder to print across the
trace. You can change this in Configuration Mode.
The following are the pre-configured notes from which to choose:
1 Patient Repositioned
2 Vaginal Examination
3 MD Notified
4 Sitting
5 On Back
6 Left Lateral
7 Ambulating
8 Tocolytic Given
9 Membranes Ruptured
10 Amniotomy
11 Amniotic Fluid Clear
12 Amniotic Fluid Not Clear
13 Oxytocin
14 Urinary Catheter
15 Micro Blood Analysis
Up to two notes can be printed directly, and the monitor can temporarily store up to a further two
notes, and these are printed after the first two have been printed. Any further notes are discarded. For
example, if you enter six notes in quick succession, the first two notes you entered are printed right
away, the next two are stored in memory and then printed when the first two have been printed, and
the last two are discarded.
If the printing of two notes happens to coincide with the regular printing of the time stamp that takes
place once every ten minutes, the time stamp is delayed until the notes have finished printing.
