9.1.6 Enabling ECG Calibration
When windage of the ECG waveform is suspected, enable ECG calibration to validate the wave.
1 Select the setup key on the main interface.
2 Select Mother > ECG Calibration.
3 Select Calibration or OFF (default).
4 Select OK.
The monitor creates a square wave in the ECG area. Compare the square wave with the ECG
guage. If the error is larger than 0.5mm, change the ECG gain.
When the error is smaller than 0.5mm, calibration is completed. Disable ECG calibration in the
same directory.
9.2 Maternal SpO
2
Monitoring
9.2.1 Introduction
The monitor provides continuous monitoring of functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
2
) and
pulse rate for pregnant women.
SpO
2
Plethysmogram measurement is employed to determine the oxygen saturation of
hemoglobin in the arterial blood. If, for example, 97% hemoglobin molecules in the red blood
cells of the arterial blood combine with oxygen, then the blood has a SpO
2
oxygen saturation of
97%. The SpO
2
numeric on the monitor will read 97% .The SpO
2
numeric shows the percentage
of hemoglobin molecules which have combined with oxygen molecules to form oxyhemoglobin.
The SpO
2
/PLETH parameter can also provide a pulse rate signal and a plethysmogram wave.
The monitor is compatible with the SpO
2
transducers supplied by the manufacturer only, and the
provided SpO
2
transducer can only be used with this monitor.
Compatibility should be checked prior to use. Otherwise the monitor performance can be
degraded.
They all have been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical device in
IEC/EN60601-1-2 (International standard for EMC testing of Medical Electrical Equipment,
second edition). These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in typical medical installation.
