Chapter 4 Alarm
4.1 Alarms Classification

When a patient’s vital sign exceeds its configured limit, or the monitor can not measure and
therefore can not detect critical patient conditions reliably, the monitor initiates alarm signals to
attract the physician’s attention.
In terms of severity, the alarms are divided into two levels: medium and low. Medium level
alarm is a severe warning; low level alarm is a general warning.
The medium level alarms have higher priority than the low level alarms. If both types of alarms
are active at the same time, the monitor sounds an audible indicator for the medium level alarms.
4.2 Audible Alarm

When an alarm is active, the monitor gives out an alarm sound.
Medium level alarm: a “Do” tone is repeated three times, followed by a pause.
Low level alarm: a “Do” tone is issued, followed by a pause.
Press the ALARM key on the front panel, the audible alarm will toggle between on and off.
Meanwhile, the audible alarm indicator on the main interface toggles between and .
However, the alarm messages will still be displayed and the alarm indicator will still be lit up
when an alarm is active.
WARNING :
Do not disable the audible alarm for the condition where the patient’s safety may be
endangered.
4.3 Visual Alarm

When an alarm is active,
- the alarm indicator flashes in orange with a frequency of 0.5Hz if it is a medium level alarm; the
alarm indicator lights up in orange if it is a low level alarm.
- the alarm message appears at the top left corner of the monitoring screen.
When more than one alarm is active, the alarm messages appear in the same area in succession.
NOTE:
The alarm message can never be cancelled unless the alarm is switched off.
- 21 -
4.4 Treatment Measures

When the monitor gives out an alarm and catches your attention, you should:
- Check the patient’s condition;
- Identify the cause of the alarm;
- Silence the alarm if necessary;
Check if the alarm is terminated when the alarm condition is solved.
4.5 Testing Alarms

To test the functions of visible and audible alarms, do the following:
1 Switch on the monitor.
2 Enable the alarm.
3 Set the alarm limits to a small range.
4 Stimulate a signal that is higher than the upper limit or lower than the lower limit. Or
disconnect one of the plugs.
5 Verify if the visible and audible alarms are working properly.
4.6 Alarm Messages

The table below lists the alarm information that might appear during fetal monitoring, and their
respective causes and countermeasures.

Chapter 6 Pre-Monitoring Preparation
6.1 Confirming Fetal Life

Fetal monitoring with ultrasound or DECG can not differentiate a fetal heart rate signal source
from a maternal heart rate source in all situations. These are some of the signal sources that might
be taken as FHR signal source by mistake:
- High maternal heart rate signal.
- Maternal aorta or other large vessels signals.
- Electrical impulse from the maternal heart transmitted through a recently deceased fetus.
- Movement of the deceased fetus during or following maternal movement.
So you need to confirm fetal life by other means before starting to use the fetal monitor, such as
using a fetoscope, stethoscope, Pinard stethoscope or obstetric ultrasonography.
6.2 Switching On the Monitor

WARNING :
1) Check if all the metal parts are linked to the protective earth cord and the cord is
working well before powering on the monitor.
2) If any sign of damage is detected, or the monitor displays some error messages, do
not use it on any patient. Contact biomedical engineer in the hospital or our service
engineer immediately.
Press the POWER switch on the right panel to switch on the monitor. The power indicator lights
up and a switching-on sound is heard. You can operate the monitor after the main interface
appears.
The recorder prints a baseline after the monitor is switched on. Observe the turning points of the
printed baselines, they should be printed exactly on the thick scale lines if the recorder paper is
correctly loaded and set.
If they do not comply with the lines, reload paper or ask the service engineer to check the paper
settings of the monitor.
CAUTION : Make sure the paper is correctly loaded before starting printing.

year and month), the hour (in 24 hour format) from 0 ~ 23, the minute from 0 ~ 59 and the
second from 0 ~ 59.
NOTE:
The date and time remain in the monitor for at least two months after it switches off. You
do not have to set date and time before monitoring each time.
6.4 Connecting Transducers

Check for visible damages of the transducers before connecting them to the monitor every time.
Pay special attention to the cracks on the transducers and cables before immersing them into
conductive fluid. If damage is found, replace them with good ones at once.
When plugging transducers into the sockets, make sure the arrow symbol of the connector is
facing up, refer to figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1 Connecting the transducer
When disconnecting a transducer, hold the afterbody of the transducer outshell (the shaded part
shown in figure 6-2) with fingers and push it in slightly, and then pull it out. Refer to figure 6-2.

Chapter 7 Monitoring
WARNING :
1) The monitor is not intended for use in intensive care units (ICU), operating rooms or
for home use.
2) The monitor is not protected against defibrillation. Do not apply it during
electro-surgery or MRI; otherwise it might result in harming the patient or the
operator.
3) Always check if the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient before starting
monitoring.
7.1 Confirming Fetal Life

Fetal monitoring with ultrasound or DECG can not differentiate a fetal heart rate signal source
from a maternal heart rate source in all situations. These are some of the signal sources that might
be taken as FHR signal source by mistake:
- High maternal heart rate signal.
- Maternal aorta or other large vessels signals.
- Electrical impulse from the maternal heart transmitted through a recently deceased fetus.
- Movement of the deceased fetus during or following maternal movement.
So you need to confirm fetal life by other means before starting to use the fetal monitor, such as
using a fetoscope, stethoscope, Pinard stethoscope or obstetric ultrasonography.
7.2 Monitoring FHR with Ultrasound

The ultrasound monitoring is a method to obtain FHR through maternal abdominal wall. Place a
US transducer (US transducer) on maternal abdomen to transmit lower energy ultrasound wave to
fetal heart, and then receive the echo signal.
Ultrasound monitoring can be used for antepartum monitoring.
7.2.1 Parts Required

1) US transducer 2) Aquasonic coupling gel 3) Belt
7.2.2 Operation Procedure

1) Placing Transducer Belt
Place the transducer belts across the bed, ensuring that the belt will be around the abdomen
- 32 -
when it is fastened. Lay the patient on the bed.

Alternatively, the patient can take a sitting position. Arrange the belt around her abdomen.
2) Acquiring FH Signal
Search for the location of the fetal heart using a stethoscope or a fetoscope.
Apply a certain amount of acoustic gel on the transducer and move it slowly around the fetus
site until a clear characteristic hoof-beat sound of the fetal heart is heard. Refer to figure 7-1
for the transducer position.
Measure TOCO
Measure FHR
Figure 7-1 Ultrasound transducer & TOCO transducer positioning (single fetus)
3) Fixing the Transducer

Wrap the abdomen with the belt over the transducer. Fix the transducer by pushing its buckle
through the overlapping section of the belt.
Make sure the belt fits the patient snugly but comfortably. Meanwhile, fetus heart sound is
heard clearly and the FHR trace and value are displayed on the screen.
CAUTION :
Do not mistake the higher maternal heart rate for fetal heart rate.
NOTES:
1) The best quality records will only be obtained if the transducer is placed in the
optimum position.
2) Positions with strong placental sounds or umbilical blood flow sound should be
avoided.
3) If the fetus is in the cephalic position and the mother is supine, the clearest heart
sound will normally be found on the midline below the umbilicus. During examining,
the pregnant woman’s prolonged lying in the supine position should be avoided
owing to the possibility of supine hypotension. Sitting up or lateral positions are
preferable and may be more comfortable.
4) It is impossible to examine FHR unless an audible fetal heart signal is present. The
fetal pulse can be distinguished from the maternal pulse by feeling the mother’s
pulse during the examination.
- 33 -
7.2.3 Switching the FHR Alarm On or Off

7.3 Monitoring FHR with DECG (optional)
7.3.1 Contraindications
The fetal spiral electrode can be used when amniotic membranes are adequately ruptured and
sufficient cervical dilatation is ensured. The fetal electrode tip is designed to penetrate the
epidermis of the fetus; therefore, trauma, hemorrhage and/or infection can occur. The electrode
should be used with strict adherence to aseptic technique.
The fetal spiral electrode should not be applied to the fetal face, fontanels or genitalia.
Do not apply the fetal spiral electrode when placenta previa is present; when the mother has
visible genital herpes lesions or reports symptoms of prodromal lesions; when the mother is HIV
sero-positive; when mother is a confirmed carrier of hemophilia and the fetus is affected or of
unknown status; or when it is not possible to identify fetal presenting part where application is
being considered. This method is not recommended when fetus is extremely premature, or in the
presence of a maternal infection such as Hepatitis B, Group B hemolytic strep, syphilis or
gonorrhea, unless a clear benefit to the fetus or mother can be established.

electrode
7.3.3 Preparing the Patient's Skin Prior to Placing Electrodes

The skin is a poor conductor of electricity. Therefore preparation of the patient's skin is important
to facilitate good electrode contact to skin.
A Shave hair from sites, if necessary.
A Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water (Never use ether or pure alcohol, because this
increases skin impedance).
A Rub the skin briskly to increase capillary blood flow in the tissues and remove skin scurf and
grease.
7.3.4 Directions for Use of Fetal Spiral Electrode
1) Remove the fetal spiral electrode from package, leaving the electrode wires locked in the
handle notch.
2) Gently bend the guide tube to the desired angle.
3) With the patient in the dorsal lithotomy position, perform a vaginal examination and clearly
identify the fetal presenting part.
4) Holding the drive handle, ensure the spiral electrode is retracted approximately one inch (2.5
cm) from the distal end of the guide tube.
5) Place the guide tube firmly against the identified presenting part.
6) Maintain pressure against the fetal presenting part with guide and drive tubes. Turn the drive
tube by rotating the drive handle clockwise until gentle resistance is encountered. Resistance
to further rotation and recoil of the drive handle indicates attachment. This will usually occur
after one complete rotation.
7) Release the electrode wires from the handle notch and straighten them. Slide the drive and
guide tubes off the electrode wires.
8) Insert the safety cap into DECG cable.

7.3.5 DECG Monitoring Procedure

1 Perform a vaginal examination to identify the fetal presenting part.
2 Prepare the patient’s skin using the procedures described in section 7.3.3 Preparing the
Patient's Skin Prior to Placing Electrodes.
3 Attach the fetal spiral electrode to the fetal presenting part using the procedures
described in section 7.3.4 Directions for Use of Fetal Spiral Electrode.
4 Fix an attachment pad electrode to DECG cable.
5 Remove the film on the back of the electrode and place the electrode on maternal thigh;
press it firmly in place.
6 Connect the fetal spiral electrode to the DECG cable.
7 Insert connector of DECG cable into the DECG socket of the monitor.
8 Check the setup of DECG arrhythmia logic.
WARNING :
Do not plug the fetal spiral electrode wire into the power socket.
CAUTION :
Do not mistake the higher maternal heart rate for DECG.
NOTES:
1) If there is any doubt as to the presence of a fetal heart signal with ECG, check with
the US transducer on the patient’s abdomen or with a separate diagnostic
instrument. The presence of an audible Doppler heart sound at a rate distinct from
that of the maternal pulse is unequivocal evidence of the fetal life.
2) After the electrode is well attached, allow a few minutes for the electrode and fetal
tissue to become stabilized. It is essential that the ECG signal electrode is in good
contact with the fetal presenting part.
7.3.6 Detaching the Fetal Spiral Electrode

To detach the fetal spiral electrode, rotate it counterclockwise until it is free from the fetal
presenting part. Do not pull the electrode from the fetal skin.

7.5 Monitoring Uterine Activity (UA) Externally

1) TOCO transducer 2) Belt

1) Placing Transducer Belt
Place the transducer belts across the bed, ensuring that the belt will be around the abdomen
when it is fastened. Lay the patient on the bed.
Alternatively, the patient can take a sitting position. Arrange the belt around her abdomen.
2) Fixing the Transducer

Refer to figure 7-1 for the TOCO transducer position. Wipe off any gel remaining on
abdomen around this area.
Place the transducer on the patient’s fundus to get optimum recording of uterine activity.
Wrap the abdomen with the belt over the transducer. Fix the transducer by pushing its buckle
through the overlapping section of the belt. Make sure the belt fits the patient snugly but
comfortably.
3) Adjust the Value to Zero

Press the AUTO ZERO key to adjust the value to the baseline. Make sure this is not done
during a contraction.
The uterine activity reading at this point should be 30 ~ 90. If the numeric exceeds this range,
it indicates the belt is too tight or too loose. The too tight belt may cause a flat-top aligned
with 100 on the TOCO scale, and the transducer would slide if the belt is too loose. You
need to adjust it.
NOTES:
1) Do not apply aquasonic coupling gel on a TOCO transducer or its contact area.

a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast
cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to
fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field
strength in the location in which the CADENCE II Fetal Monitor is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the CADENCE II Fetal Monitor should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as
reorienting or relocating the CADENCE II Fetal Monitor.
b) Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
