FM.

The FM mark displayed on the screen is
with green color and the FM mark recorded by the recorder is
“M”.

again until such fetal movement ends.

Counting FM automatically
Counting FM automatically means the monitor will auto count the FM according to the FM threshold value
set in [FM Limen] and clinical situations. Please place the FM marker at the place where is no interference
and impact.
The FM mark displayed on the screen is
with the same color as that of the AFM (Auto Fetal

menu and select [AFM COLOR]. The FM mark recorded by the recorder is “T”.

system will auto countthe FM once (only once within 8 seconds) when the auto FM trace value is greater
than 3. See the table below for more information:
