1) Overview of the product
FC1400 is a fetus monitoring device used to measure Fetal Heart Rates (FHR), degree of maternal
uterine contraction (UA: Uterine Activity),and fetal movements (FM). FC1400 projects ultrasounds into
the abdomen of the patient. From the signals returned after being reflected by the heart of the fetus,
FC1400 extracts Doppler frequencies that vary with the movements of the heart of the fetus to output
changes in the heartbeats of the fetus as sounds for the analysis of the signals; thus detecting the
heart rates and fetal movements of the fetus. In addition, it detects the degrees of uterine contraction
of patient using a pressure sensor. It indicates the fetal heart rates, maternal uterine activity, and fetal
movements on its LCD screen as figures and saves the information to its memory.
2) Characteristics of the product
1. The product measures fetal heart rates and fetal movements simultaneously.
2. By using the US probe for twin fetus, twin fetu
s’ FHR and fetal movements can be measured.
(optional specification)
3. Measured data can be saved and identified on the LCD. Thus, the condition of the fetus can be
efficiently monitored during labor without wasting recording sheets.
4. While reviewing the saved data, any data that should be kept in recording sheets can be printed at
high speeds.
5. With ultrasound Doppler probes having high durability even against noise, clear sounds of the
heartbeats of the fetus and accurate FHR of the fetus can be detected.
6. Its ultrasound irradiation radius was remarkably increased using 7-crystal, 1MHz to minimize
broken FHR waveforms even if the fetus or the patient moves.
7. Since new design concepts have been applied, Tilt is mechanically possible. Thus, the product
can be used conveniently anywhere.
8. Universal communication interfaces including LAN are provided for connection with the central
parturition monitoring system.
9.
Rechargeable batteries are used; thus, parturition conditions can be continuously monitored even
during a power failure. (optional specification)
Warning
Using accessories other than those supplied by the company or non-standard ones
may cause signal distortions or noise. Be sure to use only standard accessories
supplied by the company.
