Page 7: How Novii Works
TOCO Novii processes the EMG signals from the myometrium and coverts them in to the typical bell shaped curve contractions. Novii is able to distinguish between smooth and striated muscle activity, therefore pushing, coughing, vomiting, and fetal kicks will not be reflected on Novii UA. -

If electrode site is hairy, preventing good contact/adhesion, it may be necessary to clip the hair. *A small number of patients will not be able to be monitored successfully with the Novii despite troubleshooting. **During a FHR gap there is silence, and it is therefore advised to explain this to the patient and partners so they are aware and not distressed when there is no audio noise. - Page 18 If Interface has lost power Bluetooth pairing with Pod is lost. Remove Pod from Patch, place in charging bay and start new monitoring session when power is returned. b) Interface does not have a battery back-up. All Novii signals are lost.

Page 19: Fhr Artifact
US FHR due to the Novii 10 second delay. Caution: FHR Offset may be enabled on the fetal monitor. Caution: Novii FHR, Novii MHR and Novii UA are delayed by 10 seconds. See page 22 for Novii timing explanation. Using a US Transducer to ‘fill’ in FHR gaps should only be done for short periods. -
Page 20: Ua Troubleshooting
• N ovii UA duration may be somewhat different from TOCO/IUPC. Note: Patient perception, palpation, TOCO, IUPC, and Novii may produce 5 different measurements of duration for the same contraction. • N ovii data is delayed by 10 seconds, so take this into consideration if using Novii UA to coach the patient to push. - Page 21 Low UA setting enabled • Zero UA before starting Novii monitoring. Do not zero during monitoring. Although UA Reference may be done between contractions, using palpation to confirm, it is best practice to return the Pod to the Interface, and then Zero UA.

Novii, which results from a timing discrepancy of the recorded data. Novii should never be mixed with a TOCO, IUPC, or Scalp fECG as this could lead to misinterpretation of FHR data. -
Page 23: Cleaning
Help/tip: The Novii Pod pins on the underside of the Pod must be carefully maintained for proper functioning of the Novii and transmission of signals. Inspect the Pod pins regularly for debris or damage, especially if the Pod is dropped. All of the pins should be the same length and feel bouncy when you gently touch them. - Page 25 ©2017 General Electric Company – All rights reserved.
