Chapter 1. Introduction

1) Overview

FC-1400 is a fetal monitors, providing continuous monitoring, display, and recording of fetal

fetal heart rate(FHR), fetal movement(FM), and uterine activity(UA) for antepartum testing

and monitoring. FC-1400 irradiates the ultrasound wave to maternal abdomen, and detects

the Doppler effect signal reflected from the heart of the fetus. FC-1400 extracts FHR and FM

from this signal and provides the fetal heart beat sound with internal speaker. FC-1400

measures the uterine activity of a pregnant woman using toco sensor. FC-1400 displays

FHR, UA and FM with waves and numbers on the color LCD screen and saves them in

internal flash memory.

2) Features

1. Measures Fetal Heart Rate and Fetal Movement simultaneously.

2. Using the US probe for twins, measuring FHR and FM of twins is possible. (Optional)

3. Traces the saved data on the color LCD screen without wasting the record paper.

4. Prints the data you select during tracing the saved data at high speed.

5. Provides the clear heart beat sound and the accurate FHR because of the robust

ultrasound probe which endures noise.

6. Since it adopted 9-crystal and 1Mhz extending irradiation area, the discontinuity of FHR

minimized even during patient’s moving.

7. Detects and print fetal movement automatically analyzing Doppler effect signal.

8. Prints Grid and signals simultaneously when using Fax paper.

9. Provides RS-232 to communicate with the central delivery monitoring system.

10. Using the rechargeable battery, constant delivery monitoring is possible in lights-out

case. (Optional)

10) Installation

Suggestions for installation▣

Please keep in mind those listed below when installing FC-1400.

① Temperature: 10 to 40 Humidity: 30 to ℃ 85％

② Check the connection of power cord and be careful with Probe Cable.

③ Do not connect several cords to one electric outlet.

④ Put the device on flat surface.

⑤ Do not use an electric cord, which generates connecting noise.

⑥ All the setting is recorded in the internal memory even after turning on and off the

device.

⑦ Be careful since it’s fragile.

Install the device considering temperature and humidity and keep it away from dirt or the

inflammables.

Connect Power ▣

The product uses power adapter. The input of the adapter is DC 100 to 250V, 50-60hz, 1.2A

of free voltage and output is 18V, 2.5A. Plug the input cord of adapter into power plug and

connect the output cord into the device.

3) FHR Measurement

It gets fetal heart sound by using ultrasound Doppler effect and calculates heart rate by
minutes and saves it. Please get rid of air layer by putting enough of ultrasound gel on US
probe to avoid diminution of ultrasound in the air.

Connection of the US probe▣

Connect US probe to US1 and US2 terminal on the right side of the device.

Basic operation according to connection Probe▣

If US probe is not connected to the device, you will see “US1 off” and “US2 off” in FHR
marking area. When US probe is connected to US1, you will see “US1 ---“ in FHR marking
area which means FHR detecting is ready. When US probe cable comes off the device, you
will see “US1 off”.

FHR Measurement▣

① Put a fixing belt under the waist of the woman in the state of maternity.

② Put enough of ultrasound gel on US probe to get rid of bubble between the maternal

abdomen and the surface of US probe.

③ Find fetal back by fumbling the maternal abdomen and place US probe on it. Place US

probe as the picture below when fetus is looking right and left.

Note

When the Doppler Probe is put not on the back but on the breast part of a fetus, accurate
ultrasonic waves can’t be caught from the fetal heart and the fetal heat beat can be
frequently missed.

④ Place US probe where you can hear fetal heart beat quite loudly and clearly, the heart

turns on green LED in FHR marking area and blinks to fetal heart beat and adjust
speaker volume suitably.

FC-1400 Operation Manual

FC 1400 Operation manual. Rev. 1.2

28

⑤ Stick the button on the top of US probe to the fixing belt hole and fix it to avoid slipping of

US probe.

Note

Fix the Probe Cable toward the head part of a pregnant woman in order to prevent it from
being damaged, and for moving to some degree comparatively.

⑥ It takes 2~4 seconds for FHR to be calculated and shown.

FC-1400 Operation Manual

FC 1400 Operation manual. Rev. 1.2

4) UA Measurement

You can detect UA by using pressure sensor externally sticked. Put TOCO probe on the

maternal abdomen and it detects the relative pressure which changes as the maternal

abdominal contraction and record UA.

Connection of TOCO probe▣

Connect TOCO probe to TOCO connector on the right side of the device.

Basic operation according to connecting Probe▣

If TOCO probe is not connected to the device, you will see “TOCO off” in TOCO marking

area. If you connect TOCO probe to the device, you will see “TOCO” in the area and it is

ready to detect UA. When you see FM(Fetal Movement), it shows “TOCO+FM”.

UA detecting▣

① Place the fixing belt under the woman’s back.
② Place TOCO probe on the top of the maternal abdomen (Fundus: 10 cm above the belly

button) or on the spot which starts to harden first.

③ Stick the fixing button sticking out of the upside of TOCO probe to the hole of fixing belt

and fix TOCO probe. Please set the TOCO at 20 ~ 90 to fasten.

④ Set a base line by pressing zero point adjusting button.

Note

If the UC Probe is connected to the equipment but not used, unreliable value may be
indicated on the UC indication section.

5) Fetal Movement measurement

Using Patient Marker▣

It is designed to record the occuring moment of FM by the woman’s acknowledgement of it.

When the woman press mark jack after having the quickening of the womb, you will see “|” in

FHR wave marking area.

Automatic Detaction▣

Automatic FM detecting extracts information from Doppler signals in proportion to the

intensity and the time of FM and shows it on the screen with UA. When it exceeds the setting

value, you will see dots in UA marking area. Please see 3. 2 for set-up.

6) Print

Real time printing function has AUTO NST (NON-Stress Test)printing function and

Monitorting printing function. AUTO NST printing function is effective for un UA test and prints

FHR, UC and FM on paper and automatically stops. User can start and stop to record in

Monitoring Printing Function. Please see Printing set up in 3, 3,

7) Alarm Sound

Alarm sound occurs when FHR goes beyond the previously set normal FHR upper limit and

lowest limit and exceeds the alarm delay time. Please use the alarm button on operation

panel for alarm On/Off. Please see 3.1 for Alarm setting.

8) Volume Adjusting

You can hear FHR sound detected by US probe through built-in speaker and adjust volume

by choosing US1, US2 by pressing volume control button and turning the knob. Volume has

16 sound levels from 0 to 15. Press volume control button again.

Chapter 4. CTG Terminology

1) Baseline FHR

Mean FHR rounded to increments of 5 bpm during a 10 minute segment excluding

periodic or episodic changes, periods of marked variability and, segments of baseline that

differ by >25bpm. Duration must be ≥2 minutes.

2) ACCELERATION

Visually apparent abrupt increase(onset to peak is < 30sec) of FHR above baseline. Peak
is ≥ 15 bpm. Duration is ≥ 15 bpm and <2 min. Peak of 10 bpm and duration 10sec is
acceleration

3) LATE DECELERATION

Visually apparent gradual decrease( onset to nadir is ≥ 30 sec.) of FHR below baseline.

Return to baseline associated with a uterine contraction. Nadir of deceleration occurs after

the peak of the contraction. Generally, the onset, nadir and recovery of the deceleration

occur after same time as the onset, peak, and recovery of the contraction.

4) EARLY DECELERATION

Visually apparent gradual decrease(onset to nadir is ≥ 30 sec.) of FHR below baseline.

Return to baseline associated with a uterine contraction. Nadir of deceleration occurs at

the same time as the peak of the contraction. Generally, the onset, nadir, and recovery of

the deceleration occur at the same time as the onset, peak and recovery of the contraction.

5) Variable DECELERATION

Visually apparent abrupt decrease ( onset to nadir is <30sec) in FHR below baseline.

Decrease is ≥15 bpm. Duration is ≥ 2 min and < 10 min.
