Chapter 4 GENERAL OPERATION 4.1 FHR Inspection1. Power on by pressing the Power button. The LCD display is as Fig.3-4. 2. Find the position of fetus: At first, please feel the position of the fetus by hand. Find out the best direction for inspecting the fetal heart. Apply a liberal amount of gel to the faceplate of probe; place the faceplate of probe at the best position for detecting fetal heart. Adjust the probe to obtain an optimum audio signal ideally by angling the probe around. Adjust the volume according to requirements. 3. FHR Calculation: LCD displays fetal heart rate values, bar graph and fetal heartbeat waveform. 4. Turn off the machine: Keep pressing the power button 3 seconds to turn off.CAUTION 1. Put the probe on the best detecting position to get better detecting effect. 2. Don’t put the probe on the position where have strong Placental Blood Sound (PBS) or strong Umbilical Sound (UMS).
ENGLISH
30
3. If pregnant woman adopts horizontal position and the fetus position is normal, put the probe on the position of lower navel midline to get the clearest FHR sound. 4. Do not measure FHR unless audible fetal sound has been heard. 5. Please reduce the time of ultrasonic radiation as possible as you can.
4.2 Mode Selection 4.2.1 Real-time FHR Display Mode (Mode 1)The moment when the fetal heart rate signals are detected, the fetal heart rate bar graph on LCD indicates the strength of the fetal heart rate signals, and meanwhile shows the fetal heart rate values and fetal heartbeat waveform.4.2.2 Averaged FHR Display Mode (Mode 2) This model is able to acquire more stable fetal heart rate, displaying on LCD the latest acquisition of eight points fetal heart rate on average. When the fetal heart rate is shown, the fetal heart rate bar graph on LCD indicates the strength of the fetal heart rate signals, the shown fetal heart rate values and heartbeat waveform changes slowly.4.2.3 Manual Mode (Mode 3) Press the start / stop button starts counting, fetal heart rate reads as ” – – -“, the moment when the fetal heart rate signals are detected, the fetal heart rate bar graph indicates the fetal heart rate strength. Once again press the start / stop button to stop counting, the equipment will automatically calculate the average fetal heart rate acquired from the beginning to the end, and also the result will be displayed. Numerical fetal heart rate will always remain until a repeated measurements or patterns of change.
4.3 Probe Operation 4.3.1 Inspecting ProbeWhen the probe falls away from the the device, LCD screen displays the “- – -” and displays “Probe fall !”.The probe frequency data disappeared. At this moment the probe needs to be reconnected. After connected well, LCD screen will clear away the “Probe fall !”and display the probe frequency data.

4.3.2 Replacing ProbeThere has been a probe connected to device while packaged by the manufacturer. If users need to replace it with another probe, power off the device at first, then take out the probe from the parking of device. And then pull out the plug of the probe from its socket. Then connect the plug of the probe which needs to be displaced with the socket. Note: Place the temporarily unused probe carefully and avoid falling off, stress, etc. When the device is not used for a long time, users are recommended to connect the plug of one probe to device socket and put the probe in the parking. Then pack the device with the probe in the wrapping box.
4.3.3 Taking out Probe and Placing Probe 1. Taking Out The Probe Hold the main unit with one hand, and hold the handle of the probe with another hand to take out the probe. (See Fig.4-1).
Fig. 4-1 Taking out Probe2. Placing Probe It is opposite to take out probe. Hold the main unit with one hand, and hold the top of the probe with another hand, then push the probe into the probe holder.

4.4 FHR AlarmThe normal fetal heart rate range is 120 BPM-160 BPM, LCD displays the fetal heart rate numerical values as green; when the fetal heart rate is too fast or too slow, beyond the normal range, the fetal heart rate numerical values red alarm to remind pregnant women to go to hospital for further checks to ensure the fetal safety.
4.5 Battery Status IndicatorWhen it works normally, the LCD screen displays the status of the battery as follows:Battery power is fullBattery power is not full
Battery power is about to run out, it needs replacing batteries.
When this machine detected the battery power is not able to maintain the
normal working of the system, LCD indicates “Low Power!”, and meanwhile the
battery power state indicative marks
is flashing, later the system will
automatically shut down.

Chapter 7 MAINTENANCE 7.1 MaintenanceThe probe acoustic surface is frangible and must be handled with care. Gel must be wiped from the probe after use. These precautions will prolong the life of the unit. The user must check that the equipment does not have visible evidence of damage that may affect patient safety or Pocket Fetal Doppler capability before me. The recommended inspection interval is once per month or less. If damage is evident, replacement is recommended before use. The equipment should undergo periodic safety testing to insure proper patient isolation from leakage currents. This should include leakage current measurement. The recommended testing interval is once every two years or as specified in the institution’s test and inspection protocol. The accuracy of FHR is controlled by the equipment and can not be adjusted by user. If the FHR result is distrustful, please use other method such as stethoscope to verify immediately or contact local distributor or manufacturer to get help.
7.2 CleaningBefore cleaning, switch off and take out the batteries. Keep the outside surface of the device clean and free of dust and dirt, clean exterior surface (display screen included) of the chassis with a dry, soft cloth. If necessary, clean the chassis with a soft cloth soaked in a solution of soap, or water and wipe dry with a clean cloth immediately. Wipe the probe with soft cloth to remove any remaining ultrasound coupling gel. Clean with soap and water only.CAUTION: Don’t use strong solvent, for example, acetone. CAUTION: Never use an abrasive such an steel wool or metal polish. CAUTION: Do not allow any liquid to enter the product, and do not immerse any parts of the device into any liquids. CAUTION: Avoid pouring liquids on the device while cleaning. CAUTION: Don’t remain any cleaning solution on the surface of the deviceNote: Wipe the surface of probe with 70% ethanol, self-air dry, or clean with a clean, dry cloth.

Appendix 1Essentiality of Fetal Domestic Monitor Modem medicine think that: FHR is an important gist to identify fetal health, by recording FHR changes can observe fetal hypoxia, fetal distress and the umbilical cord around the neck, and other symptoms. Fetal domestic monitor test FHR rate changes by listening to fetal heart sound mainly. Fetal domestic monitor is a powerful guarantee to improve generational safety. Fetal heart rate changes most obviously in the following three periods: · Within 30 minutes after pregnant women get up · Within 60 minutes after pregnant women finish lunch · Within 30 minutes before pregnant women go to bed For the above three periods, because of the change of the body status of pregnant women, the activity of food digesting needs the body to provide more oxygen, relatively, the oxygen for fetus become less. It is easy to arose symptoms such as fetus anoxia. Testing the FHR at this time can display the healthy status for the fetus best. The above three periods can only be tested at home by pregnant women themselves, so FHR domestic monitor is very important. We advise the pregnant women to measure every day respectively at early, middle and late time, every time measuring the fetal heart rate and listening to the fetal heart rate for about one minute, and recording the measurement results for the medical reference when go to the hospital. Generally, the medicine deems the normal fetal heart rate as: 120BPM~160BPM; slightly too fast: 161BPM~180BPM; heavily too fast: above 181BPM; slightly too slow: 119BPM~100BPM; heavily too slow: below 99BPM. This device can hear the fetal heart sound for fetus above twelve weeks, and check the LCD display. Finding too fast or too slow should go to hospital for further checks to ensure safety.
