DESIGNATED AREAS—Show the patient the areas that
are within signal range and where signal reception is
clear.
1. Instruct the patient to wear the transmitter with the antenna
pointed towards the receiver when possible.
2. Adjust the carrying strap to a comfortable length.
3. Encourage the patient to walk in a smooth, gliding motion. It is
preferable to slide feet rather than moving quickly which may cause
bouncing and artifact.
4. Instruct the patient, following each fetal movement, to listen via the
headset, for continued fetal heart rate tones.

cables are available. Contact your
Information Technologies Sales
Representative.
5. Make sure the transducer cables are not dragging on the floor. If the
patient is in danger of tripping over the cables, drape them over the
patient’s arm; or shorten the length by taping a loop.
