User Configuration
Firstly connect the AC supply cord.
It is necessary to set the operation of the FETATRACK 310 to meet your requirements. Before turning the FETATRACK 310 on, press and hold down the Toco Zero button. Then, whilst keeping the Toco Zero button pressed down, turn the FETATRACK 310 on by flicking the AC input on/off switch which is located on the rear of the unit as part of the AC line input socket. When the unit is on the front panel LED
will be illuminated.
The FETATRACK 310 starts and then enters its User Configuration Mode, release the Toco Zero button as soon as ‘Calibrate System’ is displayed .
You are then prompted to enter the date if different to that displayed. To change the day and month press the Volume Up button. One press advances the day by one, pressing the Volume Up button for longer advances the day by 10.
To change the year press the Volume Down button. One press advances the year by one, pressing the Volume Down button for longer advances the year by 10.
When the correct date is displayed press the Toco Zero button once.
You are then prompted to enter the time if different to that displayed. This works in a similar manner to the date with the Volume Up button advancing the hours and the Volume Down button advancing the minutes.
When the correct time is displayed press the Toco Zero button once.
You are then prompted to enter the Toco Base Line offset. This sets an artificial zero line for the toco transducer above zero, it can be set by pressing the Volume Up or Volume Down buttons for a value between 0 - 20. After setting this value the Toco will be set to this every time the Toco Zero switch is pressed, and allows small negative Toco excursions to be seen on the chart.
When the correct time is displayed press the Toco Zero button once.
You are then prompted to enter the Toco Filter Value. This sets the filtering within the monitor to produce a smoother Toco trace if required. ( The filter can remove some of the maternal breathing artefact). It is set by pressing the Volume Up button for a value soothing value between 1sec and 2sec..
When the correct filter value is displayed press the Toco Zero button once.
You are then prompted to enter the Toco Range. This sets the response of the Toco transducer to either a full scale of 100 or 200 on the chart print out. It is set by pressing the Volume Up button for a value between 100 and
200..
When the correct range is displayed press the Toco Zero button once.

You are then prompted to enter the Chart recorder speed. This sets the initia l tur n-on sp eed of the char t re co rd er. T hen o nce the c hart is r unning the speed can be further changed to 1 ,2 or 3 cm/min. It is set by pressing the Volume Up button for a value of 1, 2 or 3 cm/min..
When the correct speed is displayed press the Toco Zero button once.
You are then prompted to select the Data Block on or off. The Data Block is printed at the start of each recording, this function can be disabled by setting Data Block to off. It changes from on to off and back again by pressing the Volume Up button..
When the Data Block is set to your requirements press the Toco Zero button once.
You are then prompted to select the Tachycardia Alarm on or off. The Tachycardia Alarm is triggered when the system detects a Tachycardia above 170 bpm and an alarm tone sounds. The alarm is tone is stopped by pressing the units volume button. Tachycardia Alarm can be set to on to off and back again by pressing the Volume Up button..
When the Tachycardia Alarm is set to your requirements press the Toco Zero button once.
You are then prompted to select the Bardycardia Alarm on or off. The Bradycardia Alarm is triggered when the system detects a Bradycardia below 100 bpm and an alarm tone sounds. The alarm is tone is stopped by pressing the units volume button. Bradycardia Alarm can be set to on to off and back again by pressing the Volume Up button..
When the Bradycardia Alarm is set to your requirements press the Toco Zero button once.
The FETATRACK 310 will then restart and operate according to your settings. The FETATRACK 310 is now operational, and the LCD screen will show US1 --- us2
--­(if the unit is only a single fetus monitor it will only display US1 ---) and a Toco value.
Special Precautions
Electrical Shock Hazard
Your FETATRACK 310 Antenatal Cardiotocograph has been designed for electrical safety. All the safety and operating instructions should be read before operating the FETATRACK 310. Failure to do so could result in injury to the user, patient or damage to the System and accessories.
Do not defeat the grounding integrity of this System. Protection against electrical shock, in the event of failure of basic insulation, is provided by the connection of the chassis to the safety ground. Safety grounding occurs only when the 3-wire cable and plug provided with the system are connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
Do not remove the System cover. The System should be serviced by trained and qualified personnel only. Contacting the hazardous voltages within the System could cause serious injury.
Ultrasound Technologies Ltd
Do not use the System if the power cord has any cuts or openings.
Do not use the transducer if the cable has any cuts or openings.
Do not use the transducer if the transducer face is cracked or chipped.
Do not immerse the transducer cable connectors in any liquids. Electrical shock could result.
Should the electrical safety fuses have to be replaced, use only fuses of the same type and rating.
Explosion Hazard
Do not operate or use this system in the presence of flammable anaesthetics or gases as it could lead to explosion.
Handling the Delicate Transducers
The transducers are delicate parts of the ultrasound system and should be treated with care. The delicate crystals in the transducer may crack and render the transducer unusable if the transd ucer is subject to shock. Room temperature liquids should be used for cleaning. Never use alcohol or mineral oil as an acoustic coupling agent as transducer or cable damage could occur.
