5.1 Function Description
The built-in thermal recorder applied in CADENCE II prints continuous FHR1/ FHR2 (DECG)
/TOCO /AFM trends synchronously along with some other symbols:
- A list of date, time, TOCO type, print speed, BedID and FHR2/DECG offset (at the beginning of
the printing).
- The current time (every 10 minutes afterward).
- Trends marks (FHR1, TOCO ext/TOCO int, AFM) (every 8 minutes afterward).
- Symbol marks (Start, Alarm, FM, event, zeroing) (whenever it happens).
The monitor supports some other functions listed below:
A
Auto Start Printing:
If this function is enabled, the recorder starts printing automatically
when a new monitoring starts (the
AUTO
key is pressed). Otherwise you have to press the
key to start printing.
A
Fixed Length Printing:
The recorder prints trends of a fixed time length each time. A music
sound will be heard at the end of the printing. This length is adjustable. Refer to
5.2.3
Choosing the Printing Time Length.
A
Data Caching:
When the paper drawer runs out of paper, the recorder stops printing. The
data from this moment on (at most 15 minutes) will be temporarily saved in the internal
memory. When new paper is loaded, the recorder resumes printing automatically.
NOTE:
If both the US transducer and the DECG cable are unplugged, or if the monitor is
switched off, the data in the internal memory will be lost.
A
FHR2 Offset:
You can set the offset of the FHR2 trend to separate the two FH trends on the
screen and the recorder paper. Refer to
7.4.4 Changing FHR2/DECG Offset
.
A
Print Test:
The recorder prints a trend for self-testing when the monitor is switched on.
The following factors may cause the printing failure:
A
Pressing the
key frequently. (You should allow the recorder to print the last row
before pressing the key again to start another printing.)
A
Neither ultrasound transducer nor DECG cable is connected to the monitor.
A
The recorder runs out of paper.
A
Recorder failure.
