2.3.6 Underwater Monitoring
IMPORTANT:
Apply the transducers when the patient is in the water
for monitoring under water.
Use little, or no gel if possible on the US-transducer.
Most wireless signal can be absorbed by water. Wireless transmission distances
are shorter when monitoring under water. If you have any questions, contact the
manufacturer or the local agent.
CAUTION. Avoid splashing the transducer during underwater monitoring, or it
may cause wireless signal interference.
CAUTION. The transducers are watertight to a depth of 1.1 metres for 24
hours. The base station is not waterproof and must not be immersed. Do not
allow fluids to enter the Base station unit.
CAUTION. Underwater monitoring may influence the TOCO baseline in virtue
of water temperature and depth or other reasons. Please adjust the TOCO
baseline until the pressure of the transducer in water is steady and keep
checking it
CAUTION. A metal bath tub and underwater monitoring both reduce the
operating range.
CAUTION. DECG and MHR cannot be monitored underwater.
2.3.7 Basic Function Test
A functional test should be performed after initial installation and after each service,
following each step below:
1.
Power on the base station and connect it to the fetal monitor.
2.
Charge the transducer.
3.
Power on the monitor.
4.
Remove the US-T transducer and test the following function:
•
The US transducer screen displays the standard start interface.
•
The US transducer indicator is green.
•
The fetal monitor screen displays US.
5.
Simulate the audio frequency signal:
•
Stroke bottom face of transducer at approximately 2 strokes per second to
simulate a fetal heart signal.
•
The fetal monitor displays FHR.
