2.3.5 Ambulatory Monitoring
IMPORTANT:
Apply the transducers while the patient is standing for
ambulatory
monitoring.
For ambulatory monitoring of a patient, undock the transducers from the base station
and apply them to the patient as described in Section 5.2.
During monitoring take care that:
• The transducers do not become displaced.
• A good fetal heart sound is recorded.
• The patient should not walk in strong steps
• The patient stays within operating range of the base station.
• The patient should be under monitoring when the wireless signal is good.
Note
When the transducer is placed in the docking slot, the system stops transmission. It
starts when the monitor is connected to the transducer.
When the patient moves during monitoring, interference may occur. The artificial
interference may influence the signal transmission quality. It will cause drop out or
other interference if the transducer works in the changing environment. Some kind of
the artificial interference can be anticipated and others can be discovered by observing
the signal.
Within the wireless range, there may be dead spots where there is no signal due to
building construction or interference from other sources.
The FHR may not be detected clearly when the patient moves in virtue of artificial
interference. The transducer is easy to shift underwater and it may lead to temporary
signal loss.
No matter how good a telemetry system is, occasional US-T/TOCO-T/TOCO-E
dropouts may occur. If it is not acceptable for certain patients, please connect the wired
transducer to the bedside monitor.
The manufacturer has no control over the RF environment in the places where the
system is used. If interference exists at operating frequencies, the system performance
will be affected. You can change the working channel or move the system away from
the interference to solve the problem.
CAUTION. Do not mistake the patient’s steps for the fetal heartbeats. The
patient’s steps may interfere with the monitoring of fetal heartbeats. It is
recommended that the patient walks as little as possible
CAUTION. Avoid excessive motion or vigorous movement as it may interfere
with the monitoring and computing of FHR.
