5.3 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
receiver 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 stays within operating range of the receiver.
Note
Monitoring while the patient is moving or walking may result in increased
artefact or drop-out on the trace. To minimise this, ensure the transducers are
securely strapped on using good quality belts. It may be necessary to tighten
these more than usual to keep the transducers in position.
If the patient moves outside the wireless range, the signal will be lost. This is
indicated by the transmission indicators on the receiver fl ickering or turning
amber. Note also that within the wireless range, there may be “dead spots”
where there is no signal due to building construction or interference from other
sources.
Other wireless systems working on the same frequency can also interrupt
ambulatory monitoring. In this case, the system should be set to a different
frequency. To change the frequency, please refer to Section 8.3.
5.4 Water Birth Monitoring
IMPORTANT: Apply the transducers when the patient is in the water
for monitoring under water.
Use little, or no gel if possible on the US-transducer.
When the transducers are under water, this reduces the range. Positioning the
receiver in line of sight of the transducers may improve reception. If you are in
doubt, please contact Huntleigh or your distributor for assistance.
