9.3.6 Changing HR Alarm Limits
You can change the HR alarm limits.
1 Select the setup key on the main interface.
2 Select Alarm > HR.
3 Select a value from 30 ~ 239 for Low Alarm Limit.
4 Select a value from 31 ~ 240 for High Alarm Limit.
5 Select OK.
9.3.7 Signals Overlap Verification
When monitoring maternal heart rate and fetal heart rate at the same time, there are possibilities
that maternal HR signal is mistaken for FHR signal. The SOV function of the monitor can also
reduce these possibilities.
In the process of monitoring, if the SOV detects signals overlapping, an alarm message “Signals
Overlap (FHR1/FHR2, HR)” will appear on the screen to warn you. Checking the patient and
reposition of transducers might be needed.
9.4 Maternal NIBP Monitoring
9.4.1 Introduction
The monitor measures blood pressure using the oscillometric method.
There are two modes available: Manual and Auto. In manual mode, NIBP is measured once on
each demand. In auto mode, NIBP is measured repeatedly after a preset time interval. This
interval is adjustable. You can perform a manual measurement during an Auto measurement
interval.
In both modes, systolic pressure (SYS), diastolic pressure (DIA) and mean artery pressure (MAP)
are measured and displayed.
NOTE:
The mean artery pressure (MAP) is NOT available in the USA.
WARNING
1 Check for any fault of the cuff before start monitoring.
2 Do not perform NIBP measurements on patients with sickle-cell disease or under any
condition where the skin is damaged or expected to be damaged.
3 If liquid is splashed on or into the main unit inadvertently, or enters the conduit, stop
using the monitor and contact the manufacturer for service immediately.
4 For a thrombasthemia patient, it is important to determine whether the measurement
of blood pressure shall be done automatically. The determination should be based on
clinical evaluation.
