Chapter 4 - Monitoring

See the Instructions for Use that come with your fetal monitor for details

of how to monitor fetal heart rate (FHR), uterine activity, and

intrauterine pressure (IUP), including how to apply transducers and

transducer belts.

Refer also to the instructions that accompany any accessories and supplies

(for example, fetal scalp electrodes).

You can use the blue, watertight Ultrasound and Toco transducers that

comply with IEC 529 (IP68) to monitor patients under water with the

Series 50 T Fetal Telemetry system.

Warning

Do not use brown ultrasound transducers to monitor patients under

water. Ultrasound and Toco transducers that are colored blue are

watertight and comply with IEC 529 (IP68).

You can immerse the BLUE Ultrasound and Toco tranducers in

water ONLY when connected to the telemetry transmitter. NEVER

connect blue transducers directly to the fetal monitor when they are

immersed in water, or likely to come in contact with water.

NEVER immerse the telemetry transmitter in water or other liquids

such as cleaning solutions.

Transducers with long cables (2.5m/8ft 2in) may be more appropriate for

underwater monitoring.
