Page 3: Introduction
Intrapartum monitor) is designed to provide cost effective care throughout pregnancy. Internal or external transducers may be connected to the FETATRACK 360. The functions described below are summarized in the section on EQUIPMENT. All units include twins ultrasound fetal heart rate measurement using dual Doppler ultrasound transducers and external uterine pressure UA can be monitored using the external (tocodynamometer).
Page 4: Equipment
EQUIPMENT The FETATRACK 360 is supplied with the following accessories for each version: 360is 360i 360a Wide Angle Ultrasound Transducer FECG Leg Lead Fetal Scalp Electrodes External Uterine Pressure Transducer Internal Uterine Pressure Option Option Transducer IUP Cable Option Option...
Page 5: Safety
The FETATRACK 360 is not explosion proof and must not be used in the presence of flammable anaesthetics. If in doubt about the correct operation of the FETATRACK 360, fetal condition must be checked immediately by an alternative method.

Page 10: Operating The Fetatrack 360
OPERATING THE FETATRACK 360 The FETATRACK 360 comes to you with a multi-range power supply which can be switched externally to suite the local AC line voltage. It will operate with an input voltage between 100 and 240 volts AC, 50 or 60 Hz.

Page 12: The Printer
The FETATRACK 360 is set to run at the speed of your choice and will always start at this speed every time the printer is turned on. For details of how to change the default speed see the section entitled "SETTING UP THE FETATRACK 360".
Page 13: Transducer Belts
As the transducers are free to slide on the belt final positioning can be easily achieved. Similarly repositioning of the transducers is made very much simpler. fetatrack 360is issue 1...
Page 14: Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring
To monitor the first heart rate push the transducer (pink) plug firmly into the pink front panel US1 socket and turn the FETATRACK 360 on. The second heart rate channel may be used simultaneously to monitor twins externally by connecting the second ultrasound transducer (blue) to the US2 (blue) socket.
Page 15 It is important that a distinct fetal heart sound is present during monitoring for correct function of the FETATRACK 360. Any doubt about fetal viability should be check by listening to the audible signal, or by an alternative diagnostic technique.
Page 16: Direct Fetal Ecg
Do not use a fetal ECG electrode if you cannot identify the fetal presenting part to which the electrode is to be attached. Do not attach the electrode to the fetal face, fontanels or genitalia. Do not use the electrode if uterine infection or placenta previa is present. fetatrack 360is issue 1...
Page 17 (Details on LifeTrace Safelink Instructions) Turn the FETATRACK 360 on and check that for every heartbeat, as indicated by the flashing fetal pulse heart, an audible beep may be heard. Adjust the audio volume as described in the ultrasound section.
Page 18: Fetalsat Pulse Oximetry
The FetalSAT system includes the Patient Module, and the DualSens™ sensor, all of which combine to monitor intrapartum fetal oxygen saturation (FSpO2), when connected to the Fetatrack 360is. Intended Use The FetalSAT Fetal Pulse Oximetry continuously monitors intrapartum fetal oxygen saturation (FSpO2).
Page 19: Alarms
Facilities are provided for both low (B) and high (T) rate alarm settings. A master OFF can be set for both during initial set-up of the FETATRACK 360. Either alarm can be set on or off independently in this way.
Page 20: Uterine Activity Monitoring
To monitor uterine activity plug the EUP transducer into the yellow UA input socket. The FETATRACK 360 EUP transducer has an integral membrane which prevents the ingress of fluids, nevertheless no coupling gel or other fluid should be allowed to come into contact with the transducer face.
Page 21: Intrauterine Pressure Monitoring
ECG electrode is attached if possible. Note: The intrauterine pressure transducer is not supplied as standard with the FETATRACK 360. For advice on connection of an IUP transducer contact Ultrasound Technologies Ltd or your supplier. Contra-indications: Do not insert catheter unless membranes are ruptured.
Page 22 FETATRACK 360. Because there are several alternative designs of IUP transducer which may be used with the FETATRACK 360 it is necessary to consult the specific instructions supplied with the transducer. If using an external transducer with fluid-filled coupling the system must be flushed and primed to remove air bubbles prior to use.
Page 23: Fetal Activity Monitoring
Marker switch is provided for this purpose and this is plugged into the socket on the rear panel of the FETATRACK 360. If the patient feels fetal movement she may press the switch and this will mark the paper with an arrow at the bottom edge of the FHR scale.
