transducer is in the proper place. Magnify and filter f0±fd Doppler frequency shift
ultrasound echo received by hardware system, then demodulate it, the (f0±fd)- f0=±fd
signal is obtained. After the signal is filtered by Doppler frequency shift filter, it is rectified
in full wave, and low-pass filtered. The envelope signal of Doppler frequency shift is
extracted, and sent to multi-channel strobe. It will become digital signal via A/D
transform. FHR is obtained by DSP auto-correlation operation. The Doppler audio is not
real sound, but an imitative sound caused by Doppler frequency shift change brought by
movement object. The FHR signal range is 50-210BPM.

Chapter 5 Monitoring
5.1 Ultrasound Monitoring of FHR
The ultrasound monitoring is a method to obtain FHR through maternal abdominal wall.
Put the FHR transducer on maternal abdomen to transmit lower energy ultrasound wave
to fetal heart, then receive the echo signal from it.
Ultrasound monitoring can be used for antepartum monitoring.
Parts Required
① Ultrasound transducer ② Coupling gel ③ Belt
Operation Procedure
① Preparing the Monitor
Turn the monitor on and verify that the normal monitoring screen appears on the display.
Check the ultrasound transducer to verify proper attachment to the monitor. For twins
monitoring, make sure the second ultrasound transducer is properly connected.
Set the current heart rate channel to US1, and adjust US1 speaker volume well.
The elasticity of belt can be adjusted, which make the pregnant woman monitored in the
comfortable situation, and the fetal heart rate value and trend will be showed in the
screen.
Follow the step ② mentioned above to acquire the heart rate for the first fetus.
Set the current heart rate channel to US2, and adjust US2 speaker volume well so that
the second heart sounds can be heard.
Determine the location of the second fetal signal using palpation or fetoscope.
Place the second ultrasound transducer on the abdomen over fetal site and move it
slowly until the characteristic hoof-beat sound of the second fetal heart is heard.
- 44 -
Cadence II Fetal Monitor Service Manual
The elasticity of belt can be adjusted, which make the pregnant woman monitored in the
comfortable situation. Also verify the position of transducer one has not changed.
Verify the monitor is displaying fetal heart rate values and traces for both fetuses.
④ Monitor Adjustments
Measure TOCO
Measure FHR
CAUTION : Do not mistake the higher maternal heart rate for fetal heart rate.
Notes:
① The best quality records will only be obtained if the transducer is placed in the
optimum position.
② Positions with strong placental sounds (swishing) or fetal cord pulse (indistinct pulse
at fetal rate) should be avoided.
③ If the fetus is in the cephalic position and the mother is supine, the clearest heart
sound will normally be found on the midline below the umbilicus. During monitoring
prolonged lying in the supine position should be avoided owing to the possibility of
supine hypotension. Sitting up or lateral positions are preferable and may be more
comfortable to the mother.
④ It is not possible to FHR unless an audible fetal heart signal is present. The fetal
pulse can be distinguished from the maternal pulse by feeling the mother’s pulse
during the examination.
The fetal spiral electrode should not be applied to the fetal face, fontanels or genitalia.
Do not apply when placenta previa is present; when the mother has visible genital
herpes lesions or reports symptoms of prodromal lesions; when the mother is HIV
sero-positive; when mother is a confirmed carrier of hemophilia and the fetus is affected
or of unknown status; or when it is not possible to identify fetal presenting part where
application is being considered. Application when fetus is extremely premature, or in the
presence of a maternal infection such as Hepatitis B, Group B hemolytic strep, syphilis
or gonorrhea is not recommended but may be acceptable if a clear benefit to the fetus or
mother can be established.
Parts Required
① Fetal ECG cable ② Disposable fetal spiral electrode ③ Attachment pad
Operation Procedure
① Perform a vaginal examination and clearly identify the fetal presenting part. Using a
sterile technique to attach the fetal spiral electrode to the fetal presenting part as
described in the Directions for Use of Fetal Spiral Electrode at this section.
WARNING : Do not plug the fetal spiral electrode wire into the power socket.
- 46 -
Cadence II Fetal Monitor Service Manual
⑥ Insert connector of fetal ECG cable into the DECG socket on the monitor.
⑦ Check the setup of DECG arrhythmia logic.
The transient heart rate change that equals to or is greater than ±25bpm is not recorded
when enabling the DECG arrhythmia logic (The DECGAntiArt at the menu is set to ON).
The recording will resume when beat drops within the limits.
The monitor will display all the recorded fetal heart beats when disconnecting DECG
arrhythmia logic (The DECGAntiArt at the menu is set to OFF). If you have doubts about
arrhythmia of the fetus, disconnect the DECG arrhythmia logic.
① Remove from package, leaving the electrode wires locked in the handle notch.
② Gently form the guide tube to the desired angle.
③ With the patient in the dorsal lithotomy position, perform a vaginal examination and

Cadence II Fetal Monitor Service Manual
Simultaneous monitoring of twins using two ultrasound channels (see section 5.1 for
the operation) or using one ultrasound channel (see section 5.1 for the operation)
and the DECG (during labor) channel (see section 5.2 for the operation).
Notes: ① The monitoring results are two different fetal heart rates. If the two channels
record the same fetal heart rate, one ultrasound transducer must be moved
till the second fetal heart rate is found.
② In order to distinguish the two fetal heart rates recorded by different channels,
the offset of FHR2/DECG trend is –20bpm. –20bpm means that
FHR2/DECG trend is 20bpm lower than its actual position, so 20bpm should
be added when calculating the numerical value of FHR2/DECG.
③ If two ultrasound channels are used to monitor the twins, only the audio
signals of one fetus can be heard. Press the key to hear the audio
signals of the other fetus.
④ If one ultrasound channel and one DECG channel are used to monitor the

Operation Procedure
Turn the monitor on and verify that the normal monitoring screen appears on the display.
Check the TOCO transducer to verify proper attachment to the monitor.
Check for the proper setting for TOCO baseline. Adjust when needed.
Place another belt around the abdomen. Attach the buckle of the TOCO transducer to
the belt.
Do not use coupling gel. Wipe off any gel present on abdomen around this area.
Fix the transducer. The transducer is retained on the midline half-way between the
mother’s fundus and the umbilicus (see Figure 5-1 for the positioning of the external
TOCO).
The uterine activity reading at this point should be greater than 30 units and less than 90
units. If the reading falls outside this range, the belt may be too tight or too loose. If the
belt is over tightened, the contraction peaks may have a flat-top at less than 100 on the
TOCO scale. If the belt is under tightened, the position of the transducer may wander
and cause unusable readings. Readjust the belt pressure as needed.
③ Monitor Adjustments
Press the key to adjust the value to the baseline. This should be done during
non-contraction intervals.
