1.3 Ultrasound Safety Guide

Fetal Use
The monitor is designed for continuous fetal heart rate monitoring during pregnancy and labor.
Clinical interpretation of fetal heart rate traces may be helpful in the diagnoses of fetal and/or
maternal problems and complications.
Instructions for Use in Minimizing Patient Exposure
The acoustic output of the Fetal2EMR Monitor is internally controlled and cannot be varied by
the operator in the course of the examination. The duration of exposure is, however, fully under
the control of the operator. Mastery of the examination techniques described in the User Manual
will facilitate obtaining the maximum amount of diagnostic information with the minimum
amount of exposure. Exercising clinical judgment in monitoring low risk patients will avoid
unnecessary insonation.
