Started

The system is ready for monitoring if the transmission indicator LED and battery
indicator LEDs are illuminated green.
5.2 Application of the Transducers
Ultrasound transducer
Fix the transducer to the belt clip. Apply ultrasound gel to the surface of the
transducer.
Note: Use recommended gel only. Do not use oil based gels.
Use the minimum amount of gel required, to prevent it from sliding too easily on
the skin.
•
When the transducer is to be used in water, use only a little gel, or no gel if
possible.
•
Position the transducer. Adjust for best, clear, fetal heart sounds. Refer to
the Fetal Monitor instructions for use for further information.
• Secure
fi rmly with the belt. For optimum performance during periods of
mobility, ensure that the belt is tight enough to prevent the transducer
slipping. Avoid patient discomfort through excessive tightening.
