Configuring CTG Alarms
There are three factors that determine CTG alarm behavior: alarm thresholds, alarm suspension time
and audio settings.
Setting CTG Alarm Thresholds
The CTG alarm thresholds define the acceptable ranges for the various parameters shown on the CTG
monitor. When a parameter falls outside the acceptable range, the CTG alarm sounds.
NOTE: The fetal heart rate (FHR) alarm only sounds when FHR has been below the acceptable range for
at least 30 of the last 60 seconds or above the acceptable range for at least 150 of the last 300 seconds.
The alarm also sounds when a FHR probe is connected but no FHR data has been received for 90 of the
last 180 seconds.
To set CTG alarm thresholds:
1. From the CTG Monitor, click the Alarm button in the lower-left corner of
the CTG display.
