INTRODUCTION

The FETATRACK 360 Cardiotocograph (available as an Antepartum or
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).

The intrapartum monitor adds fetal ECG (FECG) and has an option of
including maternal ECG (MECG) measurement and an intrauterine
pressure transducer (IUP) for more accurate uterine pressure
measurement.

Both units can add an option for the monitoring of Mater nal pulse
oximetry.

The FETATRACK 360is has the addition of the Nonin FetalSat fetal
pulse oximetry system.

All parameters are displayed on a large graphic displays which also
displays messages as appropriate. Ultrasound signal quality is shown by a
change in the flashing heart associated with the fetal rate display, so you
can be sure the recording is accurate and reliable.

The information is presented on a high resolution thermal pr inter running
at 1, 2 or 3 cm/min, and printed on standard format full width z-fold
paper. Event marks, date, time and mode are printed on the paper to
complete the record.

All FETATRACK 360s have bradycardia and tachycardia alarm
functionality, memory backup and an output socket for remote display of
screen information on a local computer, for example in the consultant's
office

SAFETY

The FETATRACK 360 is designed to comply with EN60601-1, Class 1
with protective earth via the AC line cord. Connection must be made to
ground and supply complying with local standards. For correct operation
check that the voltage setting and fuse ratings are correct for the local
supply.

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.

We would recommend that, to maintain the standard of performance of
the FETATRACK 360, whenever possible the monitor is included in a
scheduled maintenance scheme.

The following symbols have been used on the front and rear panels of the
FETATRACK 360 and are here defined according to EN60101-1.

OPERATING THE FETATRACK 360

The FETATRACK 360 comes to you with a multi-ra nge power supply which can be
switched exter nally to suite the local AC line voltage. It will oper ate with an input
voltage between 100 and 240 vol ts AC, 50 or 60 Hz.

Connect the AC supply cord and switch the FETATRACK 360 on. The AC input
on/off switch is located on the rear of the unit adjacent to the AC line input socket.
Observe that the front panel power on indicator (1/0) is illuminated.

The FETATRACK 360 is now operational and the display will indicate the
operating mode.
