Patient Safety
Patient Safety
Environment
The Telemetry System should only be used by, or under the direct supervision of, a
licensed physician or other health care parctitioner who is trained in the use of fetal
heart rate monitors and in th e interpretation of fetal heart rate traces. US federal law
restricts this device to sale by, or on the order of, a physician.
The Telemetry Receiver is a Protection Class 1, Type B instrument. It is
designed to fulfill safety requirements according to IEC 60601-1, UL 544 and CSA-
C22.2 No.601.1-M90.
The telemetry transmitter is a battery operated device, applied parts (patient
connectors) are Type CF .
Use the system in an environment which is reasonably free from vibration, dust,
corrosive or explosive ga ses, extremes o f temperatur e and humidity. It operates within
specifications at ambient temperatures between 0 and +45°C. Ambient temperatures
that exceed these limits can affect the accuracy of the system, the transmitter radio
frequency transmission, and can damage the components and circuits.
1
The system (not including transducers
) can be stored at ambient temperatures
between -40°C and +75°C.
The blue Toco and Ultrasound transducers are water-tight to a depth of 50 cm (19.7
inches).
Warning
Do not use brown transducers to monitor patients under water. Ultrasound and
Toco transducers that are colored blue are watertight and comply with IEC 529
(IP68).
You can immerse the BLUE Ultrasound and Toco tranducers in water ONLY
when connected to the telemetry transmitter. NEVER connect blue transducers
directly to the fetal monitor when they are immersed in water, or likely to come
in contact with water.
NEVER immerse the telemetry transmitter in water or other liquids such as
cleaning solutions.
1. Transducers can be stored at temperatures between -40°C and +60°C (-40°F to +140°F).
Chapter 1 - Safety
Page 13
Protective Earth
Protective Earth
To protect hospital personnel and the patient, the cabinet must be grounded.
Accordingly, the receiver is equipped with a 3-wire power cable which grounds it to
the power line ground when plugged into an appropriate 3-wire receptacle. Do not
use a 3-wire to 2-wire a dapter with the receiver. Any interruption of the protective
earth grounding will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in serious
personal injury.
Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impair ed, the receiver must be made
inoperative and be secured against any unintended operation.
Warning
Check each time before use that the Telemetry System is in perfect working
order and the receiver is properly grounded.
The patient cable must be positioned so that it does not come into contact with any
other electrical equipment.
Before operation, make sure that the receiver is free from condensation. This can
form when equipment is moved from one building to another, and is exposed to
moisture and differences in temperature.
Warning
Possible explosion hazard if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics.

Transmitter Functional Blocks
Theory of Operation
US Gating
US Driver
US Receiver
The US Gating circuitry generates the gated 1 MHz bursts for the US driver
and the US receiver necessary in a pulsed doppler system.
The burst repetition rate is 3.2 kHz. The US drive r burst has a duratio n of
µsec. The burst for the Receiver’s demodul ator, which also has a duration
96
µsec, follows the driver bursts with a delay of 32 µsec. This timing gives
of 96
a sensitive depth range from 2.4cm up to 16.8cm (with a sound velocity in
human tissue of 1500 m/sec.)
The US Driver circuitry drives the ultrasound transducer crystals with the
bursts deliver ed by the US Gatin g module. The out put amplit ude is 4V peak
to peak. The drivers output goes to a hig h impeda nce st at e when the dr iving
burst is inactive.
The US Receiver consists of three submodules:
•Preamplifier
•Demodulator
•Bandpass filter with amplification
The preamplifier amplifies the small doppler shifted 1MHz signals from the
transducer. These are converted to the low frequency baseband by the

demodulator. This demodulator is driven by the US Gating module with 1
MHz bursts. The demodulated signals are amplified and bandpass filtered.
The overall gain fr om the transducer to the US R eceiver’s o utput i s 70 dB fo r
the heartra te signal and 56 dB for the fetal movement sign al.
ECG Driver
This circuitry powers an ECG transducer with a 5V peak to peak, 250 kHz
square wave. The driver current is sensed by the ECG Receiver.
ECG Receiver
After converting into a voltage, the signal is amplified and bandpass filtered.
The filter consists of a 15 Hz highpass and a 100 Hz lowpass. The overall
gain from the transducer inputs to the ECG Recei v er’s output is 56 dB. In
addition, the ECG Receiver outputs an INOP flag if the 50/60 Hz signal or
an INOP signal (250Hz delivered by the ECG transducer if electrodes have
no contact) of a too high amplitude is detected.
Dynamic Compression Circuitry
The Dynamic Compression Circuitry consists of:
FMP Detector
•Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA)
•Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
The PGA is a special amplifier with a programmable gain factor between 0
dB and 40 dB in 255 steps. It adapts the high dynamic range (>60 dB) o f t he
heartrate signals to the limited dynamic range of the RF link. The PGA is
controlled by the Automatic Gain Control.
The AGC circuitr y sets the gain of the PGA to get the best usage of the RF
link dynamic range. The actual heartrate singal amplitude is measured by a
peak hold detector w hich is th e inpu t sig nal fo r th e contr oller algor it hm. Th e
algorithms for ECG and ultrasound signals ar e differ ent. They are adapt ed to
the special attributes of the signals. This results in different time constants,
amplitude margins etc.
The gain is changed only between two signal complexes where the signal is
approximately zero to avoid destruction of the signal complexes which may
lead to an inaccurate calculated heartrate in the Fetal Monitor (artificial
jitter).
The FMP Detector consists of two parts:
•The FMP Envelope
•The FMP Detector
The FMP Envelope cir cuitry builds the env elope signal of the fetal mo vement
profile doppler signal from the US receiver. It is a full wave rectifier followed
by a 12 Hz lowpass.
The Fetal Movement Profile Detector searches for fetal movement related
signals in the FMP envelope signal. If a movement is detected, a status bit is

delivered to the FSK Generator. The detector algorithm is ide ntical to the
algorithm implemented in the Series 50 Fetal Monitors.
FMP is switched off whenever a Series 50 T Telemetry System (plugged into
the Monitor) is switched on. FMP is switched back on again when the
telemetry system is switched off (or unplugged) . If you want to monitor FMP
with a Series 50 T Telemetry System (and have the correct software revision
and interface for Telemetry FMP) switch FMP on by using either the Key or
the barcode me thod.
This module checks for connected transducers at the Cardio and Toco
connectors. If a valid transducer is detected, the corresponding operating
modes are set in the Transmitter (ECG/US, TOCO/IUP) and the mode
encoding bits are delivered to the FSK signal generator. If an invalid
transducer is detected, these bits are set to an error code and the Transmitter
frontends are disabled.
This circu itry drives a conn ected Toco or IUP transd ucer with a 1.6 kHz , 5V
peak square wave. The 1.6 kHz frequency is synchronised with the 3.2 kHz
repetition rate of the doppler ultrasound circuitri es to avoid inter fere n ce
between the Toco and ultrasound cha n nels.
Toco Receiver
Toco A/D
FSK Generator
This module contains a differential intput amplifier, a synchronous
demodulator and a low pass filter, to derive a pressure propor tional signal
from the TOCO/IUP transducers bridge.
The TOCO/IUP pressure signal is A to D converted by a sigma-delta type
converter with a resolution of 12 bits and a 2Hz low pass characteristic. The
repetition rate is 4/sec. These 12 bits are encoded in the serial bitstream by
the FSK Generator module.
To ensure a high accuracy of the Toco pressure signal, correction factors are
stored in a EEPROM during the production test individually for every
Transmitter. Before encoding the Toco pressure values into the serial
bitstream, the pressure values are corrected with these factors. This
mechanism allows the usage of circuitries in the Toco frontends which only
have stability over temperature and aging but not an absolute accuracy.
The Frequency Shift Key generator (FSK), is a sine wave generator (smoothed
square wave by filters) capable of generating either a frequency of 1.6 kHz
(represents a logic zero) or 2.4 kHz (represents a logic one). It encodes the
following signals in a bitstream:
•Coding pattern identification
•Transmitters Serial Number
•12 Bit Toco pressure value

•transducers and operating modes
•fetal movement detection bit
•battery status
•external marker information
•Nurse call button
•INOP condition of ECG
•CRC (checksum over one frame)
•Special transmitter ID af ter power up (Japan only)
This circuitry produces the different clocks needed in the Transmitter. The
oscillator is crystal contr olled and st arts operatio n at po wer supp ly vol tages as
low as 2V. This is necessary because the oscillator also drives the power
supply. T o ensur e a sta rt up over the compl ete specified battery voltage range,
the oscillator must start at this low voltage. The clock freqencies are:
•2 MHz for the mircocontroller
•1 MHz for the ultrasound drive/receive clocks and the power supply.
•500 kHz for the Toco sigma-delta A/D converter.
•250 kHz for the ECG driver and the Toco sigma-delta A/D converter.
Power Supply
Service Interface
The power supply is a switched mode power supply with step up operation.
It works with a 250 kHz clock frequency (delivered by the oscillator) in a
pulse width modulation mode. It is capable of delivering the necessary power
in a fixed 5V output voltage f or input vo ltages betw een 2.5V and 4.7V. (This
covers the input vo ltages deliver ed b y thr ee AA typ e alkaline ba tteri es or three
AA type NiCd/NiHd accumulators).
Other supp ly voltages are derived from the 5V supply by linear regulators or
by charge pumps runing at 250 kHz.
•2.5V as virtual ground (linear regulator)
•8.5V for ultrasound preamplifier and OP-Amps (charge pump as
voltage doubler.)
•-3.5V for O P-Amps (charge pumps a s voltage inverter).
The service and production interface uses the marker input as the I/O
connector for settings and internal status readings for service and production
tests.
It is a RS232 similiar (0.5V only levels) serial interface with a specific
protocol. This int erface is used for:
•setting the Transmitter's serial number
•reading some internal values for prodution tests
•writing correction factors for the Toco frontend into the EEPROM.

EEPROM
Japan ID
VCXO
Transmitter Functional Blocks
The EEPROM holds the following settings:
•Serial number
•Gain calibration factors
•Country code
•Japanese ID code
This module is only acitve for Japanese options (set by the country code). It
sends the required ID code for Japanese Telemetry Transmitters. If there is
no valid ID code (or country code) in the EEPROM, this module shuts off
the VCXO. RF emission is allowed only if a correct ID code is emitted first
after power up.
The Voltage Controlled Xtal (crystal) Oscillator is a "MAGIC" M14006XXXX type VCXO. It generates the 4mW, 2mW or 1mW RF carrier in the
406 to 470 MHz band. This is dependant on county options:
•4 mW for USA and Australia
•2 mW for Europe
•1 mw for Japan
It also p erforms t he FM modul ati on for t his c arrier wi th the com posit e sig nal
of the ultasound doppler or the fetal scalp ECG and the FSK subcarrier for
the digital information. The heart rate signals use 60% and the FSK
subcarrier uses 40%of the ava ilable RF peak dev iation. An additi onal lowpass
filter at the VCXO's output reducers the RF carrier harmonics.
The outer shield of the heart rate transducer cables i s used as an antenna. An
impedence matc hing network adapts the antenna impedance to the VCXO's
50 Ohms output.

Input Filter
RF Preamp M1406A
This module builds up a highpass filter with <1dB loss in the useful
frequency range 406 to 470 MHz and >20dB re jec t ion for 100 MHz signals.
It prevents overloading of the RF preamplifier with strong lower frequency
signals.
The filter also provides the preamplifier with a 21V DC power by coupling
this DC voltage into the hot wire of the preamplifiers input cable. A
capacitor decouples the DC power from the antenna input.
This MAGIC line amplifier boosts the input signal by 12 dB. This results in
an input sensitivity of about -118 dBm together with the M1402A RF
Receiver. The amplifier is powered from the DC power at the hot wire of the
input coax cab le.
Chapter 9 - Theory of Operation
Page 85
RF Receiver M1402A
US Bandpass
ECG Bandpass
Receiver Functional Blocks
The MAGIC receiver module M1402A performs the complete baseband
signal recovery. The input signal is prefiltered, mixed down and filtered by a
double superhetrodyne circuitry and demodulated to the baseband signal.
An on board microcon troller does the complete automatic frequency control
tracking of the input signal.
This module performs a bandfiltering for the ultrasound doppler signal. It
consists of a 60 Hz highpass to remove the low frequency noise of the FM
demodulator, a 450 Hz lowpass to remove the higher frequency noise, and
the FSK subcarrier. The subcarrier attenuation must be so high that it is not
audible in the ultrasound signal (>70 dB at 1.6 kHz).
This module performs a bandfiltering for the fetal scalp ECG signal with a 15
Hz highpass, to remove the lo w frequency noise (low frequency phase noise of
the RF oscillators) and a 80 Hz lowpass, to remove the high frequency noise
and the FSK subcarrier.
FSK Bandpass
FSK Demodulator
The output of the US or ECG bandpass is selected by the decoded mode
information by the FSK Demodulator and fe d to the receiver ou tput as
heartrate output. If the input signal quality is too bad (bit error rate increase
over a certain limit), the heartrate and Toco output is switched off.
This bandpass selects the FSK subcarrier out of the composite signal. It
consists of a 1.6 KHz hig hpass to remove the low frequency noise and the
heart rate signals, and a 2.4 kHz lowpass to eleminate the high frequency
noise.
The FSK Demodulator consists of:
•FSK Comperator
•FSK Demodulator
The Comperator converts the sine shaped FSK subcarrier signal into a sq uare
wave. The Comperator has a hysteresis to improve the performance of noisy
input signals. The Demodulator demodulates the FSK subcarrier and
recovers the encoded bitstr eam. The synchronisation is done by searching the
encoded 12 bit serial number. The bitstream is also descrambled and the
CRC is checked. If the test is positive, the complete frame is saved and the
information bits are recovered and appropriate actions are taken:
•Set the Mode outputs
•Display the status values on the front panel.
•Switch On/Off the nurse call beeper
•Switch On all output signals
•Set the fetal movement output

•Encode the marker sig n al into the Toco signal
If more than two consecutive frames are d isturbed (wrong CR C checksum) or
no synchonisation is possible due to not matching serial numbers of the
transmitter and the receiver , the out put signals are switched of f and the range/
transmission INOP LED on the frontpanel is switched on.
This module converts the digital Toco value (12 bits) into an analog voltage
(the fetal monitors can onl y ac ce pt analo g i npu t signals for all parameters). It
is built up with a pulse width modulator followed by a 3Hz lowpass.
The marker is also encoded with the Toco output signal. If a marker pressed
bit is received, the Toco signal will make a deflection over the complete range
for 1 second if a fet al monito r with an old teleme try interface is c onnected. If
a new interface is detected, the marker will be output as a digi tal mode output
only .
The EEPROM keeps the following settings:
Service Interface
Power Supply
Oscillator
•Seri al Number
•Nurse Call volume control
These values all can be set via the Service/Production interface, or in the case
of the nurse call volume control, by pressing the nurse call acknowledge
button if no nurse call is active.
This is a RS232 type serial interface used for servicing and production test
and settings, to read back internal values or to store serial numbers and other
settings in the EEPROM.
This module delivers all the necessary supply voltages. I t has an input select or
for 110V or 230V mains input. It outputs the following voltages:
+21VRF Preamplifier
+12VAnalog circuitries and the M1402A Receiver Module
-12VAnalog circuitries and the M1402A Receiver Module
+5VDigital circuitries and the M1402A Receiver Module
The oscillator prod u ces a CMOS clock signal for the digital circuitries. It is
running at 16.256 MHz. This frequency is divided by 2; the resulting 8.128
MHz frequency is used as a clock signal for the microcontroller.
