To simulate intrauterine pressure contractions push the IUP Contraction softkey
to show the Fetal ECG: IUP screen on the display. See Figure 14.

Set the Fetal Heart Rate Response

The Product simulates three types of preconfigured waveforms for a periodic
fetal heart rate that is interactive with uterine contractions: early deceleration; late
deceleration; or acceleration:
With early deceleration, the fetal heart rate follows the intrauterine pressure (no
lag). The fetal heart rate starts at 140 BPM, slows to 100 BPM at intrauterine-
pressure peak, and then goes back to 140 BPM as the IUP falls back to zero.
With late deceleration, the change in fetal heart rate starts when IUP pressure is
at its peak and lags the change in intrauterine pressure by 45 seconds. The fetal
heart rate starts at 140 BPM, slows to 100 BPM, and then goes back
to 140 BPM.
With acceleration, the change in fetal heart rate lags the change in intrauterine
pressure by 30 seconds. The fetal heart rate starts at 140 BPM, increases to
175 BPM, and then goes back 140 BPM.
To set the fetal heart rate response:
1. Push  or  to highlight the HR Response value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to highlight Early Deceleration, Late Deceleration, or
4. Push  to set the response value and go back to the Fetal ECG: IUP

Set the Intrauterine Contraction Simulation

The IUP (Intrauterine Pressure) period is adjustable to four preconfigured values.
These are contractions that start manually or at 2, 3, or 5 minute intervals.
To set the contractions:
1. Push  or  to highlight the Contraction value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to highlight Manual Start, 2, 3, or 5 minutes.
4. Push  to set the Contraction value and go back to the Fetal ECG: IUP
5. To start a contraction, push the Start softkey. The screen below shows on
