Chapter 2 Introduction
The CADENCE Fetal Monitor can provide different configurations according to different user
requirements, FHR1 (US1), FHR2 (US2, optional), TOCO, MARK (remote marker), AFM
(automatic fetal movement mark, optional), FS (fetal stimulator, optional), DECG (direct fetal
ECG, optional), and IUP (intra-uterine pressure, optional). The user can select the monitors
according to requirements.
Note
: This user manual is written to cover all options. Therefore, your model may or may
not have some of the parameters and functions described, depending on what
was ordered. See
FS-1 Fetal Stimulator User Manua
l for detailed information of
fetal stimulator.
2.1 Intended Use
CADENCE Fetal Monitor can acquire fetal heart rate (FHR1 of channel 1/FHR2 of channel 2),
maternal uterine contraction (TOCO, abdomen pressure) when pregnancies over 28 weeks. The
CADENCE Fetal Monitor can be used for monitoring fetal heart rate during the antepartum
period for NST (Non-stress Test) and CST (Contraction Stress Test).
Dual Heart Rate Monitoring allows simultaneous monitoring of two heart rates for twins. This is
achieved by using the facilities of two ultrasound transducers and an external contractions
(TOCO) transducer with a recorder.
CADENCE Fetal Monitor is a complete monitoring system for use during the management of
labor (IUP and DECG as options). It provides accurate and reliable monitoring information,
offering non-invasive ultrasound, external TOCO facilities, DECG (direct fetal ECG), and
Intra-uterine Pressure (IUP) measurements.
2.2 General Information
CADENCE Fetal Monitor provides accurate and reliable monitoring information, using
non-invasive ultrasound Doppler, external TOCO technique, and direct fetal ECG technique.
RJ45 interface is built, and the monitor can be connected with MFM-CNS Obstetrical Central
Monitoring System via it. The monitor can be connected to the wireless network module via a
DB9 interface, and the wireless network module will complete the data transmission of the
monitor and the MFM-CNS Obstetrical Central Monitoring System.
The data collected and saved by the CADENCE Fetal Monitor can be analyzed and printed by the
CADENCE Insight software running on PC.
