To change the fetal heart rate:
1. Push
or
to highlight the
Fetal HR
value.
2. Push
.
3. Push
or
to change the heart rate value in 1 BPM steps between
60 BPM and 240 BPM.
Note
When you hold down the direction key, the step size changes to
10 BPM until the key is released.
4. Push
to set the heart rate and go back to the Fetal ECG screen.
To change the amplitude of the fetal waveform:
1. Push
or
to highlight the
Amplitude
value.
2. Push
or
to adjust the amplitude. Each push of a key increases or
decreases the amplitude in the direction of the key pushed. The Product
simulates a fetal heart signal amplitude of 0.05 mV to 0.25 mV by 0.05 mV
intervals and 0.50 mV to 5.00 mV that is set in 0.25 mV intervals.
3. Push
to set the amplitude and go back to the Fetal ECG screen.
Simulate Intrauterine Pressure (IUP)
The simulated intrauterine-pressure (IUP) waveform shows a measurement read
by an intra-amniotic catheter connected to a pressure transducer. The Product
simulates the IUP on IBP channel 1, with a 5
μ
V/V/mmHg or 40
μ
V/V/mmHg
sensitivity (as has been setup for blood pressure).
The Product sends waveforms to simulate intrauterine pressure during a
contraction of the uterus in childbirth. Each IUP wave goes for 90 seconds with a
bell-shaped pressure curve that increases from zero to 90 mmHg and goes back
to zero. In an IUP-wave simulation, the fetal heart rate (which always begins at
140 BPM, regardless of the fetal ECG rate.) changes with the blood pressure.
The fetal heart rate and blood pressure shows on the display.
The IUP period is adjustable to four preconfigured values: a manually started
contraction, and contractions that start at 2, 3, or 5 minute intervals.
To do an Intrauterine pressure simulation, connect the fetal monitor to the
Product as shown in Figure 13.
