Instructions For Use
EN
NOTE. Please apply coupling gel to the US-T transducer before use and move
the transducer to get the desired fetal heart and belt it to the belly. Underwater
monitoring requires less coupling gel or no coupling gel. The TOCO-T
transducer and TOCO-E transducer can be applied to the belly directly without
coupling gel.
NOTE. Use the minimum amount of gel required, to prevent the transducer
from sliding too easily on the skin
NOTE. The TOCO-E transducer monitors DECG or MHR only when it is
connected with the DECG or MECG cable. If the TOCO-E transducer is not
connected with the DECG or MECG cable, it only monitors TOCO. Besides,
the DECG cable and the MECG cable cannot be connected to the TOCO-E
transducer at the same time.
NOTE. When using the TOCO-E transducer to monitor DECG or MHR, it is
recommended that the DECG cable or the MECG cable be kept straight to
avoid damage to the TOCO-E transducer’s interface caused by twisted cable.
2.3.4 Relocation of the Transducers
Transducers may be belted on the patient for a long time. In rare cases, this may lead
to irritations to the patient skin. To avoid skin irritations, please inspect the application
site at least every half an hour. If the skin quality changes, you should move the
transducer to another site.
US transducers need to change application site frequently to track fetal heart. It is
normal during a monitoring process. But TOCO transducers are different. Please
periodically inspect the application site (between contractions) of TOCO transducer at
least every half an hour.
To reduce the risk of skin irritations, do not allow residual cleaning agent or disinfecting
agent on the surface of transducers. Before using cleaning agent and/or disinfecting
agent, refer to the cleaning and disinfecting sections in this user manual. Wipe the
transducer surface with a cloth dampened with water before applying to the patient.
