6.10 Monitoring Alert priority
Priority order is:
1. PATIENT OUT OF RANGE
2. CHECK ELECTRODES for a possible disconnection
3. BATTERY LOW
4. MHR/FHR COINCIDENCE (only if MHR is displayed on Interface)
5. POD not returned
6.11 Turning Off the Interface
There is no power button on the Novii Interface, removing the power supply will turn the Interface
off. Once the PODs are fully charged, the Interface can be turned off. If the Interface if switched
on and there has been no activity for 10 minutes, the Interface will go into the ‘power-save’
standby mode, this will allow the POD(s) to fully charge and then automatically turn off when full,
with minimal power consumption.
6.12 Novii FHR, MHR, UA synchronization & mixed modality monitoring
The Novii UA, FHR and MHR traces are all synchronized, but shifted in relation to real-time
events by around 5mm (10 seconds) on the trace. This is due to the time it takes to extract,
send and confirm the Novii FHR, MHR, UA from the abdominal electrical signals. In normal
operation this will have no impact on the management of the patient or the interpretation of the
trace with the following exceptions:
WARNING: Monica does not recommend or support mixing Novii UA with US/FSE FHR
monitoring.
There is a 10-second shift (5mm on the tracing) in the Novii UA trace with respect
to the US/FSE FHR trace such that late decelerations could appear as early
decelerations masking a potential fetal compromise.
Using the US transducer in addition to Novii FHR, MHR and UA to confirm the
FHR, for short periods, during gaps or suspected artifact can be used, but the
potential for missing a fetal compromise remains, due to US FHR and Novii UA
desynchronization.
WARNING: Monica does not recommend or support mixing Novii FHR/MHR with TOCO/IUPC
UA.
