Recovering Data
The monitor stores trace data, including annotations, in its internal backup memory. This allows the
monitor to recover trace data that would otherwise be lost under certain circumstances. This trace
recovery data can be automatically retrieved and printed in the event of the paper running out, or
automatically transmitted to an OB TraceVue system (LAN connection only), allowing continuity of
data.
The fetal trace printed from the trace recovery data contains all data from the real-time trace, with the
exception of the maternal heart rate, the pulse numeric and the MECG wave.
Note that the data in the memory is cleared when a software upgrade is performed.
CAUTION
Only use Philips paper. Using paper other than Philips paper may result in the failure to recover traces.
Recovering Traces on Paper
The monitor is able to recover traces by printing them out at a high speed from the monitor's backup
memory. If the monitor runs out of paper, or if the paper drawer is open, the exact time when this
happens is annotated in the backup memory. If the
Bridge Paperout setting is set to On (default),
when new paper is loaded and the recorder is started, a trace recovery printout of the data recovered
from the backup memory is automatically printed out at high speed (up to 20 mm/s), starting from the
time noted in the backup memory. This ensures that no data is lost. A minimum of one hour of trace
recovery data can be printed out from the backup memory. When the trace recovery printout has
finished, the recorder automatically switches back to continue recording the current trace at the normal
speed.
Note the following:
• If you press the fetal recorder
Start/ Stop
SmartKey during a trace recovery printout, the
recording stops and the next recording following a recorder restart will be a normal, real-time
trace.
After switching the monitor off and then back on again, or following a power failure, the time of
the last
CHECK PAPER
INOP or paper-out detection is lost, and therefore any trace recovery data
in the backup memory is no longer available to print. The next recording made following a restart
of the recorder is a normal, real-time trace.
