Section 1 INTRODUCTION

The CorometricsB Model 115 Fetal Monitor is capable of monitoring two heart rates (maternal and fetal or twins) and maternal uterine contractions. Simultaneous trends of

' beat-to-beat heart rate and uterine activity (UA) are plotted continuously on the built-in dual channel strip chart recorder. Fetal heart rate (FHR) and UA are displayed continuously on the front-panel numeric display. The Model 115 is capable of monitoring heart rate and uterine activity using the following external or internal clinical methods.

External Monitoring Modes

1) Continuous-Wave Doppler Ultrasound: A transducer placed on the abdomen is used to direct an ultrasonic beam toward the fetal heart and to sense Doppler-shied echoes created by moving cardiac structures. A patented autocorrelation process is used to determine the timing of successive cardiac cycles.

2) Phono: An acoustically sensitive transducer placed on the maternal abdomen senses fetal heart -sounds which are used to compute the fetal heart rate. The patented autocorrelation processing is also used in the Phono Mode to improve measurement accuracy.

3) Tocodynamometer: Relative Pressure within the uterus is measured using a tocotransducer strapped to the abdomen in the area of the uterine fundus. The readings are recorded on the strip chart paper in a relative scale from 0 to 100.

Internal Monitoring Modes

1) Direct Fetal ECG: FECG waveforms are obtained via a spiral electrode attached to the fetal presenting part. FHR is computed on a beat-to-beat basis using the time interval between R-wave peaks. The instantaneous FHR pattern is printed on the strip chart paper and the FHR appears on the numeric display.

2) Intrauterine Catheter and Strain Gauge: Amniotic fluid pressure is measured using a transcervical intrauterine catheter and externally mounted strain gauge. Pressure trends are plotted over the range of 0 to 100 rnrnHg.

Maternal Monitoring Mode

MECG waveforms are obtained via electrodes placed on the maternal chest and abdomen. MHR is computed on a beat-to-beat basis using the time interval between R-wave peaks. The instantaneous MHR pattern is printed on the strip chart paper and the MHR appears on the numeric display.

SAFETY

GENERAL USE AND POWER PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT: Read this manual before operating the monitor. Keep this manual available for future reference and orientation of new personnel.

Refer to supplementary "Guide to Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring" for limitations of internal and external monitoring techniques.

This monitor is ordinarily shipped with provisions to operate from a hospital grade three-wire 117-volt electrical outlet. The monitor can be changed to operate from other types of outlets and voltages with appropriate modifications performed by personnel authorized by Corometrics Medical Systems, Inc.

Do not defeat the three-wire grounding feature in the power cord by means of adapters, plug modifications or other methods. A dangerous shock hazard to both patient

' and operator may result.

Monitors should be plugged into the same circuit as other equipment in use on the same patient. Your hospital engineering staff should identify outlets that are on the same circuit in patient areas.

This equipment is not designed for use in an explosive atmosphere, in the presence of flammable anaesthetics, or inside an oxygen tent. Use under these conditions may present an explosion hazard.

LEAKAGE CURRENT

Corometrics monitors are equipped with isolated inputs (ECG) and isolated transducers (Phono , ultrasound, strain gauge, and tocodynamometer). Leakcase current is limited to a few microamperes even if full power-line vcltage is applied to the patient leads. However, for maximum patient safety, the following procedures are recommended.

Keep equipment clean and free of transducer gel, electrode cream, and other substances.

Do not operate if unit is wet because of spills or condensation. Condensation could occur if a monitor is moved from building to building such as from a cold environment to a warm and humid location.

Page 8: COROMETR FETAL MO OPERATOR'S MANUAL

DIRECT MEASURING PRECAUTIONS

Because the tip of the spiral electrode is designed to penetrate the fetal epidermis, the possibility of trauma, hemorrhage and infection exists.

Direct monitoring should be used only under aseptic conditions.

Membranes must be ruptured prior to the introduction of either the spiral electrode or the intrauterine catheter.

When inserting an intrauterine catheter, do not force the catheter guide or catheter since it is possible to perforate the uterus.

Contraindications: The electrode should NOT be applied to the fetal face, fontanels or genitalia or when it is not possible to identify the portion of the fetal body where- application is contemplated. Direct monitoring should NOT be used when placenta previa or bleeding from the uterine cavity is present; when genital infections (e.g., herpes, Group B streptococcus, gonorrhea) or other infections exist. - -

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

Volume

Two pushbuttons used to change the volume of sound emitted by the rear-panel speaker. Depressing the button with the arrow pointing up causes the volume to increase. Depressing the button with the arrow pointing down causes the volume to decrease. Volume control has no effect on the processing used to compute heart rate.

UA Reference

Pushbutton which sets the pressure reference level on the UA recorder channel at 0-mmHg for the strain gauge or at 10 for the tocodynamometer. To activate, depress and hold for 1 second.

Test

Pushbutton used to initiate a monitor self-test routine. To activate, depress and hold for 1 second.

Mark

,Depressing the Mark button causes an arrow-shaped mark to be printed on heart rate channel of the strip chart paper-

Record

Depressing pushbutton activates the recorder, provided paper has been installed. Once the recorder is activated, - - - * s

Section 4 OPERATION

SELECTING MONITORING MODES UTERIh'E ACTIVITY

The Corometrics Model 115 Fetal Monitor can monitor the Internal Method: fetal heart rate in three modes and the uterine activity in two modes. For maternal heart rate monitoring see page Intrauterine Pressure Catheter and Strain Gauge 35.

A catheter inserted transcervically into the uterine cavity FETAL HEART RATE MONITORING transmits intrauterine pressure to the strain gauge. This

pressure is recorded in mrnHg. The membranes must be Internal Method: ruptured in order to use this method.

membranes must be ruptured and the cervix dilated to t utilize this technique. Uterine Activity Display

External Methods:

Ultrasound

An ultrasound transducer placed on the maternal abdomen senses heart motion utilizing the Doppler principle. The rate is determined using the patented autocorrelation processing to determine the time interval between successive heart beats.

Phono

Phonocardiography utilizes a sensitive transducer similar to a microphone to pick up heart sounds. The patented autocorrelation processing is used to compute cardiac intervals. Both the mother and baby need to be relatively inactive to utilize this method; therefore, this technique is most useful during the antepartum period or early labor.

Fetal Heart Rate Displays

The fetal heart rate is displayed in several ways. A heart beat indicator (amber backlit heart symbol) flashes for each detected valid heart beat after the circuits have settled. It does not flash for event triggers which are rejected by the monitor's editing. A three digit amber numeric display indicates FHR in beats per minute. This display will be blanked (except during 3 second warm up and TEST) if no front panel FHR connector is inserted into the monitor. FHR trends will be plotted on the fetal channel of the strip chart. There is a few seconds delay from printing until the tracing appears on the moving chart paper. The rear panel speaker will emit an audible tone for each detected heart beat.

Uterine activity will be continuously plotted on the UA channel of the strip chart paper. Pressure will be plotted on a scale of 0- 100 mmHg for internal pressure and 0-100 relative units for toco signals. If the recorder is turned on, the message "TOCO" or "IUP" will be printed 20 seconds after connector insertion. Pressure exceeding 100 mmHg will be printed as a straight line at 100 mmHg. The uterine activity numeric values on the front panel dis- play represent changes in pressure in either mmHg or relative units. Depression of the UA reference pushbutton for one second will reset the display to 0 mmHg (strain gauge) or 10 (toco). Pushbutton should be activated for internal monitoring when the strain gauge is open to air and activated for external monitoring (toco) between contractions. If the relative pressure is greater than 100, 3 a " + " sign will flash continuously. Should the pressure s

value exceed the monitoring range when the UA reference button is depressed - i.e. damaged toco or belt too tight - the display will continuously flash " + 199". The message "BASELINE PRESSURE OFF SCALE" will be printed on the lower portion of the recorder's UA channel after 20 seconds of baseline pressure less than 0 mmHg (or relative units).

MOPdsFOR SELF TEST RO S

The Model 115 contains test routines which check the calibration and internal circuitry of the monitor. It is recommended practice to initiate the self test feature at the beginning of each monitoring period so the results will be documented on the patient's strip chart. These routines are initiated by depressing the front panel Test pushbutton. Paper must be installed in the recorder. If the recorder is off, the test routine will turn it on and then turn it off after the tests are complete. If the recorder is running, the tests will be performed, printed out, and the recorder will remain on. The chart recorder will print the message" TEST " and " ALL DOTS PRINTED ? "Then, the routines listed in Table 1 will be printed.

DESCRIPTION

All indicators illuminate for the duration of the test with the heart rate display "888" and UA Display reading "+188" during recorder test.

The software energizes all the elements in the print head which should appear as a continuous Sine of dots across the paper. A sin'Iulated trend of 30, 120, and 24.0 or 50-120-210 BPM will be printed Out on the heart rate channel and a simulated pressure trend at 0, 50, and 100 m a g will be printed out on the UA

(the values will also be printed out numerically in the enter margin of the strip chart).

After recorder test, software generates a 120 BPM heart rate signal and displays the rate on the numeric display and on the strip chart.

UTERINE ACTIVITY TEST The monitor adds 50 mmHg to present pressure level; displays this value on the UA display and prifits this value on the recorder paper. (NOTE: If no transducer is plugged intc the UA connector, no trace will be printed.)

At the completion of the self test routine, the monitor is ready for patient use.

(Monitor should be prepared as described on page 13)

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

A) Fetoscope

B) Ultrasound transducer

C) Ultrasound strap (Disposable or reusable)

D) Ultrasonic coupling gel

E) Headset (optional)

PROCEDURE

1) Explain procedure to patient.

2) Place strap under patient.

3) Determine position of the fetus using Le~pold's maneuvers.

4) Determine the area from which the strongest fetal heart tones are heard using the fetoscope (this will usually be though the fetal back). Avoid the maternal aorta.

Page 25: COROMETR FETAL MO OPERATOR'S MANUAL

Section 4

5) Connect the ultrasound transducer plug to the UA connector on the front panel.

6) Insert a corner of the strap through one slot on the transducer and pull it through several inches.

7) Apply a small amount of ultrasonic coupling gel to the transducer face.

8) Place the transducer face down on the maternal ab- domen where the strongest heart tones were auscultated.

Page 26: COROMETR FETAL MO OPERATOR'S MANUAL

9) Depress Power pushbutton if power is off.

11) SOU

Adjust volume on front panel of monitor.

Reposition transducer as necessary until clearest heaft ~nd is heard through headset or speaker.

12) Insert the other end of the strap through the remain- ing slot in the transducer and adjust to a comfortable fit. Three to five seconds after a clear heart sound is heard, the heart shaped indicator will flash synchronously with the sound, indicating signal acceptance and recording.

Page 27: COROMETR FETAL MO OPERATOR'S MANUAL

13) Activate the recorder and insure that a tracing appears on the heart rate channel. Check the maternal pulse to document recording FHR.

NOTE: Temporary loss of signal will cause the heart light to stop flashing. If sound is still clear, allow 3 to 5 seconds for light to resume flashing. As labor progresses, fetal movement or maternal movement which results in loss of sound for an extended period may require repositioning the transducer.

(Monitor should be prepared as described on page 13 .)

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

A) Fetoscope

B) Phonotransducer

C) PatienUTransducer Interface Ring

D) Headset (optional)

PROCEDURE

1) Explain procedure to the patient.

2) Use a fetoscope to determine the location of the clearest fetal heart sounds. Take care to avoid placenta, cord, and other abdominal sounds.

3) Be certain abdomen is dry and clean. Do NOT use coupling gels or EKG paste.

Page 28: COROMETR FETAL MO OPERATOR'S MANUAL

4) Peel backing from the patientltransducer interface ring using the tab.

CAUTION: Do not place the phonotransducer-with its - patient-contact side on a hard surface. The microphone (shielded by the housing on the patient side) can be easily damaged.

5 ) Apply the adhesive surface of the ring to the face of the phonou-ansducer.

6) Place the phonotransducer, face down, on the maternal abdomen over the area of clearest fetal heart sounds. Preferably, hold the transducer in place using the interface ring by itself. If this is not possible, the transducer cable may be taped in place.

NOTE: Maternal or fetal movement can affect signal quality and the transducer may need to be repositioned. Avoid sources of noise such as straps, gowns, or sheets which may come in contact with the transducer.

Page 29: COROMETR FETAL MO OPERATOR'S MANUAL

7) Depress the Power pushbutton if power is off. Allow 20 to 30 seconds for the monitor circuits to stabilize. Also, any time the transducer is moved, allow 20 to 30 seconds for the circuits to re-stabilize.

8) Adjust volume with front panel pushbuttons. Once acceptable fetal heart sounds are obtained, the computed heart rate will appear on the front panel display and the amber heartbeat symbol will flash synchronously with the audible fetal heartbeats.

9) Depress the front panel Record pushbutton to activate the recorder and insure that a tracing appears.

FHR RECORDING-INTERNAL DIRECT F@CG

(Monitor should be prepared as described on page 13.)

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

A) Leg plate

B) Leg plate strap (Disposable or reusable)

C) EKG Sol

D) Spiral Electrode

PROCEDURE

1) Explain procedure to patient.

2) Attach strap to leg plate by inserting the plastic clip into hinge holes on one end of the leg plate, keeping Velcro side facing you.

3) Apply EKG Sol to the contact surface of the leg plate and place it on the thigh of the patient.

4) Pass the leg plate strap around and under the patient's thigh and then through the slot in the leg plate. Fold the strap back onto itself so that the Velcro adheres.

NOTE: Instructions for using the disposable straps are printed on the package.

Page 31: COROMETR FETAL MO OPERATOR'S MANUAL

5 ) Apply spiral electrode to fetal presenting part according to standard procedure.

6) Attach the spiral electrode wires to the corresponding . , a

push posts of the leg plate, GREEN wire to push post labeled green and RED wire to push post labeled red. Connect the leg plate cable to the front panel ECG connector.

7) Depress Power pushbutton if power is off.

8) Depress the Record pushbutton and insure a trace appears on the heart-rate channel.

9) An adequate ECG signal is indicated by an acceptable continuous trace recorded on the strip chart.

NOTE: An artifact elimination switch is located on the rear panel. In the ON position, the monitor will not print any new FHR value which differs by more than 2 25 BPM from the previously calculated heart value. The printing inhibition functions on a beat-to-beat basis by comparing the last calculated rate against the newly calculated rate. The rate used for comparison purposes is always the previous rate regardless of whether this rate passed the previous ? 25 BPM test. In the OFF position it causes all direct ECG rates to be plotted by the recorder without regard to their deviation from previous rates. The effect of this function change is that sudden heart changes (such as certain arrhythmias, accelerations or decelerations) as well as artifactual changes (as when the electrode is disturbed or loosely connected) will be recorded when the switch is in the OFF position. They will not be recorded when the switch is in the O N position; instead, gaps in the tracing will occur. This slide switch only affects the direct mode. All other FHR modes always have the printing inhibition enabled automatically.

4) Connect the transducer cable to the front panel UA connector. Depress the Power and Record pushbuttons if off.

Page 33: COROMETR FETAL MO OPERATOR'S MANUAL

5) Depress the UA Reference pushbutton for one (1) second (count "one, one thousand").

6) Position tocotransducer on the maternal abdomen over the uterine fundus or where there is the least maternal tissue and the contractions are most strongly palpated.

7) Lnsert the other end of the strap into the remaining slot and tighten to hold transducer securely in place. Digital display andlor recorder should read at least 35, between contractions.

8) When the uterus is relaxed, depress the UA Reference pushbutton again for one (1) second. This will set the UA baseline to 10. The Model 115 is now ready to begin monitoring uterine activity.

F) Sterile dome

NOTE: Sterile disposable domes or nonsterile reusable domes are available.

PROCEDURE

1) Explain procedure to patient.

2) Place dome, with O-ring in place, on top of strain gauge. (Disposable domes do not have O-rings.) Tighten collar.

3) Attach pressure relief valve (PRV) to the upright fitting on the strain gauge dome.

Page 35: COROMETR FETAL MO OPERATOR'S MANUAL

4) Adjust the height of the strain gauge until it is level with the maternal xiphoid.

5 ) Open intrauterine kit and place contents on a small sterile field maintaining sterile technique.

6) Following sterile technique. remove stopcock from sterile field and attach to angle fitting on dome.

7) Pressure catheter should be inserted into the uterine cavity by standard technique. Reminder: catheter must be filled with sterile water before insertion.

8) Tape catheter to patient's thigh to avoid accidental removal of catheter.

Section 4

5) Depress the Bower pushbutton on the front of the monitor, if it is deactivated.

6) Depress the Record pushbutton.

7) Remove syringe. (This will open the dome to air.)

Page 39: COROMETR FETAL MO OPERATOR'S MANUAL

8) Depress UA Reference pushbutton for 1 second. This will cause the recorder to start printing at 0 on the strip chart paper.

9) Replace syringe and turn the OFF lever on the stopcock toward the syringe. This will reopen the connection from the patient to the strain gauge and the recording will be intrauterine pressure in rnrnHg.

NOTE: The strain gauge must be recalibrated under the following circumstances:

a) When the monitor is first turned on, the circuits in the strain gauge require at least ten minutes to stabilize thermally.

b) If a negative value (i.e. "- 15") appears on the front panel UA display, be sure the strain gauge has been positioned at the height of the maternal xiphoid. (If recalibration fails to remedy the condition, refer to troubleshooting section.)

DUAL HEART RATE MONITORING

INTRODUCTION

The Corometrics Model 115 Fetal Monitor is capable of monitoring two heart rates as well as maternal uterine contractions. This will allow maternal and fetal heart rates or the heart rates of twins to be simultaneously monitored using ECG (maternal or fetal) and either ultrasound or phono. Under these circumstances, simultaneous trends of two heart rates and the uterine activity are plotted on the strip chart recorder and the heart rate derived from either ultrasound or phono is displayed on the front panel HR numeric display. The monitor will automatically print the specific operating mode(s) with reference trace(s) at start up, with transducer changes and every 10 minutes (see Table 1).

APPLICATION OF MONITOR TO PATIENT

CLEANING

Remove the plastic dome.

Wash the transducer in a fresh solution of Detergicide (1: 1000) or equivalent solution.

Carefully clean the diaphragm with a cotton swab to remove deposits. Avoid excessive pressure since this may damage the diaphragm. If there are stains on ihs diaphragm or sides of the transducer, remove with a cotton swab and solvents of increasing strength. Do not use pumice, Ajax, Bon Arni, or other abrasives.

With dome loosely in place, immerse the transducer in the cleaning solution, following the manufacturer's instruction for the time required to effect c l h g .

After cleaning, rinse the transducer.lhoroughly in sterile distilled water and replace the dome loosely.

CAUTION: Do not immerse any part of the electrical connector of the transducer in the cleaning solution at any time. Examine the outer sheath of the cable for perforations. If the outer covering is damaged in any way, do not immerse the cable in the cleaning solution; this may result in moisture entering the transducer case, which is vented through the cable.

WARNING: In the event liquids are permitted to enter the electrical connector, resistance between the electrical element &d the transducer case should be checked to ensure that the leakage current is below acceptable levels for safe use on patients. A resistance level of 10 megohms or greater is acceptable.

Replace the dome loosely on the transducer to protect ttre diaphragm from damage in handling.

Cold-soak the transducer in activated Cidex or equivalent, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Page 50: COROMETR FETAL MO OPERATOR'S MANUAL

Section 6

Gas sterilization of the transducer, dome, PRV, and the silicone rubber gasket is acceptable.

NOTE: Some discoloration of the PRV may take place as a result of gas (ETO) sterilization.

Liquid sterilization of the transducer, dome, PRV, and silicone rubber gasket can also be performed.

CAUTION: Precautions should be taken to prevent damage to the transducer diaphragm during handling and storage. If the transducer is to be bagged, it is suggested that it be wrapped in foam rubber prior to bagging and sterilization. Do not autoclave pressure transducer.

Storage: The transparent dome should be left attached to the transducer during storage, but the locking ring slackened at least a quarter of a turn.
