 Fetal Use
The monitor is designed for continuous fetal heart rate monitoring during pregnancy and labor.
Clinical interpretation of fetal heart rate traces can diagnose fetal and/or maternal problems and
complications.
 Instructions for Use in Minimizing Patient Exposure
The acoustic output of the monitor is internally controlled and can not be varied by the operator
in the course of the examination. The duration of exposure is, however, fully under the control of
the operator. Mastery of the examination techniques described in the User Manual will facilitate
obtaining the maximum amount of diagnostic information with the minimum amount of exposure.
The exercising of clinical judgment in the monitoring of low risk patients will avoid unnecessary
insonation.
