Introduction: Features
The 170 Series is a family of fetal monitors offering various combinations of
modalities to suit your institution's needs. Each monitor boasts the following
qualities:
The strip chart recorder is a quiet, easy-to-load, high resolution thermal array
printer. The recorder prints continuous trends and alphanumeric data on one
strip chart.
Automatic mode selection is provided simply by inserting the appropriate
transducer plug into the front panel receptacle.
Wide beam ultrasound transducer provides an advanced level of system
performance.
Transducer connectors are easy-to-use, color-coded, and durable.
Frequently-used functions are controlled by front panel buttons—including
audio volume, uterine activity reference, alarm silence, event mark, paper
advance, and user setup controls.
The ultrasound mode provides clean accurate traces with few "dropouts"
because of a patented autocorrelation processing.
Fetal heart rate alarm limits are user-defined, with pre-set defaults.
Alarm silencing is controlled by a front panel pushbutton—colored for easy
recognition.
Fetal heart rate alarm conditions have both audible and visual indications. The
audible indicator can be silenced on an alarm-by-alarm basis.
Two RS-232C ports provide interfacing to external devices.
