Fetal Parameters - GE Corometrics 250cx Series Operator's Manual

Fetal Parameters

Revision C
Introduction: Series Overview
Annotations from an optional Model 2116B Keyboard are printed on the strip
chart recorder paper.
The strip chart recorder is a quiet, easy-to-load, high-resolution thermal array
printer. The recorder prints continuous trends and alphanumeric data on one
strip chart.
The Chart Light allows the room lights to be dimmed without sacrificing
visibility of the strip chart recorder.
The system is compatible with Centricity
Systems, as well as with other information systems, to streamline capture and
archiving of patient data.
Following is a summary of the features.

Dual ultrasonic heart rate monitoring allows for non-invasive monitoring of twins.
Independent volume controls facilitate easy transducer placement when
monitoring twins.
A +20 bpm heart rate offset option is provided for the secondary heart rate
(HR2) trend, when using dual ultrasound, or ultrasound and direct FECG, to
separate overlapping FHR trends for easy interpretation.
A heartbeat coincidence detection feature can be enabled to inform you when
there is the possibility that you may be monitoring a duplicate signal.
The FECG waveform can be optionally displayed and can be "frozen" on the
screen for review. In addition, a 6-second "snapshot" can be printed on the strip
chart paper.
Fetal parameters are continuously displayed even during configuration of
system setup options.
The ultrasound mode provides clean, accurate traces with few "dropouts"
because of Corometrics' patented autocorrelation processing.
Fetal heart rate alarm limits are user-defined, with pre-set defaults. Signal
quality has no user-defined parameters.
Alarm limits are easily configured via setup screens.
Alarm silencing is controlled by a brightly colored, easily recognizable front
panel monitor button.
