Monitoring via Telemetry: Monitoring Reminders
Monitoring Reminders
General
n Use the correct interconnection method according to your monitor
model. See page 4-2 and page 4-5.
n Remember to apply power to all three devices: monitor, receiver, and
transmitter.
n Check that each interconnection cable is firmly attached to both the
receiver and the monitor.
n As soon as any telemetry mode is detected, the front panel of the 120
or 170 Series Monitor is disabled and all front panel inputs are
ignored. In other words, telemetry and monitor modes cannot be
“mixed and matched”; you must use telemetry only or direct
monitoring only.

170 SERIES—For proper operation with a 170 Series
Monitor, disconnect all transducers from the front panel
of the monitor.
Ultrasound
n Use only Corometrics 5700 Series ultrasound transducers with a
Model 340 Telemetry System.
n Remind the patient to use the headset to check for continual pickup
of the fetal heart rate signal following each fetal movement.
FECG
n You may need to tape the transducer cable to the patient to prevent
excessive tension on the legplate or attachment pad.
n The recommended position for the legplate is on top of the upper
thigh instead of the inner thigh. This facilitates walking and
minimizes fluid contacting the legplate.
