Responsibility of the User

This device is intended for use by clinical professionals who are expected to know the medical procedures, practices, and terminology required to monitor obstetrical patients. This manual documents all possible parameters available in the 170 Series of monitors. It is the responsibility of each hospital to ensure that the Labor and Delivery staff is trained in all aspects of the selected model. The 170 Series Monitor is designed to assist the perinatal staff by providing information regarding the clinical status of the fetus during labor. The monitor does not replace observation and evaluation of the mother and fetus at regular intervals, by a qualified care provider, who will make diagnoses and decide on treatments or interventions. Visual assessment of the monitor display and strip chart must be combined with knowledge of patient history and risk factors to properly care for the mother and fetus.

Safety: Definitions of Terminology

Definitions of Terminology
Six types of special notices are used throughout this manual. They are: Danger, Warning, Caution, Contraindication, Important, and Note. The warnings and cautions in this Safety section relate to the equipment in general and apply to all aspects of the monitor. Be sure to read the other chapters because there are additional warnings and cautions which relate to specific features of the monitor. When grouped, warnings and cautions are listed alphabetically and do not imply any order of importance.

Table 1-1. Definitions of Terminology Danger A DANGER notice indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. A WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. A CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. Cautions are also used to avoid damage to equipment. A CONTRAINDICATION describes any special symptom or circumstance that renders the use of a remedy or the carrying out of a procedure inadvisable, usually because of a risk. An IMPORTANT notice indicates an emphasized note. It is something you should be particularly aware of; something not readily apparent. A NOTE indicates a particular point of information; something on which to focus your attention.

Electromagnetic Interference
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical devices to the IEC 601-1-2:1993, EN60601-1-2:1994, Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical installation. However, because of the proliferation of radio-frequency transmitting equipment and other sources of electrical noise in the health-care and home environments (for example, cellular phones, mobile two-way radios, electrical appliances), it is possible that high levels of such interference due to close proximity or strength of a source, may result in disruption of performance of this device. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may cause harmful interference with other devices in the vicinity. Disruption or interference may be evidenced by erratic readings, cessation of operation, or incorrect functioning. If this occurs, the site of use should be surveyed to determine the source of this disruption, and actions taken to eliminate the source. The user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Turn equipment in the vicinity off and on to isolate the offending equipment. Reorient or relocate the other receiving device. Increase the separation between the interfering equipment and this equipment. If assistance is required, contact your GE Service Representative.

Introduction: Monitoring Methods

Monitoring Methods
The following is a summary of all the clinical monitoring methods found in the 170 Series.

Fetal Heart Rate

External Method, Pulsed Doppler Ultrasound
Ultrasound monitoring is available on all 170 Series Monitors. Models 171 and 173 provide a single ultrasound channel, while Models 172 and 174 provide two ultrasound channels. Fetal heart rate can be measured externally using pulsed Doppler Ultrasound. A transducer placed on the mothers abdomen is used to direct an ultrasonic beam toward the fetal heart and to sense Doppler shifted echoes created by moving cardiac structures. A patented autocorrelation process is used to determine the timing of successive cardiac cycles. The resulting fetal heart rate (FHR) pattern is recorded on the strip chart paper and the FHR appears on the digital display.

Internal Method, Direct Fetal Electrocardiogram (FECG)

FECG is available on Models 173 and 174 only. The Model 173 provides a dedicated FECG connector. The Model 174 provides a combi-connector which can be used for either FECG or US. FECG signals are obtained via a spiral electrode attached to the fetal presenting part. FHR is computed on a beat-to-beat basis using the R-to-R time interval of the QRS complexes. The instantaneous FHR pattern is printed on the strip chart paper and the FHR appears on the digital display.

Maternal Uterine Activity

External Method, Tocotransducer (TOCO)
Maternal uterine activity is measured externally using a tocotransducer (toco). Relative pressure within the uterus is measured using a tocotransducer attached to the mothers abdomen in the area of the uterine fundus. The readings are plotted on the strip chart paper in a relative scale from 0 to 100 as well as shown on the digital display. All 170 Series Monitors provide external uterine activity monitoring.

Internal Method, Intrauterine Pressure Catheter and Strain Gauge (IUP)

IUP is available on Models 173 and 174 only. Intrauterine pressure is measured using a transcervical catheter. The pressure trend is plotted over the range of 0 to 100 mmHg and the readings appear on the digital display.

The strip chart recorder is a quiet, easy-to-load, high resolution thermal array printer. The recorder prints continuous trends and alphanumeric data on one strip chart. Automatic mode selection is provided simply by inserting the appropriate transducer plug into the front panel receptacle. Wide beam ultrasound transducer provides an advanced level of system performance. Transducer connectors are easy-to-use, color-coded, and durable. Frequently-used functions are controlled by front panel buttonsincluding audio volume, uterine activity reference, alarm silence, event mark, paper advance, and user setup controls. The ultrasound mode provides clean accurate traces with few dropouts because of a patented autocorrelation processing. Fetal heart rate alarm limits are user-defined, with pre-set defaults. Alarm silencing is controlled by a front panel pushbuttoncolored for easy recognition. Fetal heart rate alarm conditions have both audible and visual indications. The audible indicator can be silenced on an alarm-by-alarm basis. Two RS-232C ports provide interfacing to external devices.

UA Reference Button
The UA Reference button is used to set the uterine activity pressure reference. This button is also used during setup.

Setting a Baseline for External Monitoring (Tocotransducer)

Briefly pressing the UA Reference button sets the pressure baseline at a preset default. The monitor is shipped from the factory with a default setting of 10 relative units. Qualified service personnel can access a service screen to set the default to 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 relative units. Pressing this button for more than two seconds causes the uterine activity reference value to override the default setting and cycle through all available selections: 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 relative units, starting at the default settinguntil the button is released. While the button is held down, the strip chart tracing remains unchanged. Once the button is released, the recorder trace takes on this new value. This value is stored as the new baseline for the currently measured uterine activity signal.

Setting a Baseline for Internal Monitoring (IUPC)

Pressing the UA Reference button sets the pressure baseline at 0 mmHg. NOTE: IUPC monitoring is only available on Models 173 and 174.

Setup Mode
When the monitor is in setup mode, the UA Reference button selects the active display. Pressing the button alternates between the UA display (which shows a monitor feature code) and the FHR display (which shows the setting or value for the selected feature code). When the UA display is active, the sign lights. When the FHR display is active, the heartbeat indicator lights.

Alarm Silence Button

This button is yellow for easy recognition. Pressing the Alarm Silence button removes the audible indication of an individual fetal heart rate alarm. NOTE: Silencing an alarm does not affect the visual indications.

Setup Procedures: Loading Strip Chart Paper

Loading Strip Chart Paper

The required paper for use with the 170 Series Monitor is:

catalog number (REF) 4305AAO/CAO (HR scale of 30240 BPM); or catalog number (REF) 4305BAO/DAO (HR scale of 50210 BPM). CAUTIONS LOADING PAPERThe instructions for loading paper into a 120 or 170 Series Monitor are different than the instructions for loading paper into other Corometrics monitors with which you may be familiar. Improper loading can cause paper jams. Follow the instructions carefully. PAPER TYPEDo not use non-Corometrics paper or paper designed for use with other Corometrics monitors. Using paper other than catalog number (REF) 4305AAO/BAO/CAO/DAO: may produce inferior print quality; could result in permanent damage to the recorders print head; and may void your warranty. STORAGE/TRANSPORTPaper should be installed in the monitors strip chart recorder at all times. This reduces particle build up on the printhead and facilitates opening the recorder door.

To protect against paper jams, the 170 Series recorder contains a paper-loading sensor which detects if the paper has been incorrectly loaded. When the recorder detects a paper-loaderror condition:

the recorder will not print; the Record indicator flashes on and off every second; and three short beeps (low tones) sound every three seconds at a fixed volume.

The most likely cause of a paper-loaderror condition is that you loaded the paper with the black squares facing up. The correct method is to load the paper with the black squares down, as explained later in this section.

Monitor Self-Test Routines

NOTE: Ensure paper is installed in the recorder in order to verify a successful recorder test. Each 170 Series Monitor contains a self-test routine which checks the internal circuitry of the monitor, the displays and indicators, and the strip chart recorder. The self-test routine is automatically initiated each time you turn on the monitor. CAUTION SELF-TEST FAILUREIf there is any problem with the self-test routine, turn off the monitor and remove it from operation. Notify your Biomedical Engineering Department or Service Representative.

After completion of a successful self-test routine, the monitor is ready for use. NOTE: If the recorder was off at the time the monitor was turned off, the test routine will turn the recorder on, then turn it off after the tests are complete. If the recorder was on at the time the monitor was turned off, the tests will be performed and the recorder will remain on.

Recorder Test: The following message prints on the strip chart paper: TEST: ARE ALL DOTS PRINTED? Three continuous lines are drawn across the strip chart recorder paper, testing the integrity of the printhead. See Figure 4-11. What to Verify Ensure all indicators and each segment of the displays illuminate throughout the entire self-test routine. Make sure the monitor performs the recorder test. If there is a problem with the internal circuitry, the recorder test will not be performed. Ensure that the lines are printed in the correct positions on the paper. Verify that the lines are continuous and no gaps appear on the traces.

Theory of Operation: Main Board Theory of Operation

The processor (U1) is an Hitachi SH3 used with a 32-bit data bus and 24-bit address bus. Series 100 resistors and 100 k pull-up resistors are provided for all address, data bus and output lines. The series resistors limit transient response resulting in better EMI performance. Pull-up resistors prevent these lines from floating if the processor enters sleep mode which tri-states these lines. Crystal X2 is the main crystal for the processor running at 12.288 MHz. Mode lines which the CPU examines at power up are pulled up and down to set the CPU to mode 4. This allows the CPU to run internally at either X2 x 1 (12.288 MHz) or X2 x 4 (49.152 MHz). The external bus and SYSCLK run at the X1 frequency. Crystal X1 is for the processors real-time clock. The real-time clock is not used; however, in addition to time/date, it can be used to process interrupts for exiting sleep mode. A MAX809 reset IC (U2) monitors 3 V backup power to hold RESET* low during power up from the AC line cord and or the DC power cable. Power-up reset using the power button is accomplished through an external RC circuit (R544 and C285) for a shorter on reset time. Four AMD AM29LV800B 8 Mb flash memory parts (U23U26) are used to provide 4 MB of data storage and non-volatile program memory. The flash parts are arranged in pairs to allow 32-bit data access. Separate write enable lines allow access to individual 16-bit words, if required. Chip selects for each flash pair are controlled by the programmable array logic device (PAL) U4 and are memory mapped to make all 4 MB appear as a single area of memory. The system RAM consists of two Hitachi HM5216165 16-Mb SDRAMs (U27, U28). The processor provides all of the DRAM support signals (RAS, CAS, etc.). A 32-bit data bus is used and 8- and 16-bit access are supported. An AT29LV010A 1 Mb flash memory part (U29) is used as a boot ROM. The processor begins execution from this area of memory (Area 0 / CS0*). An 8-bit data bus is used. A battery RAM, with real-time clock MT48T18 (U31), provides the clock and 8k x 8 data storage function for parameters, error logs, etc. Transceiver U30 buffers and voltage translates data from the 5 V battery RAM. The PAL (U4) provides the address decoding for the system flash memory, UART, battery RAM, display, input buffers, and recorder control latches. The PAL also contains latches which allow control of the printhead, serial peripheral interface (SPI) chip selects, telemetry, and fetal movement signal controls. PAL U4 also provides the parallel-to-serial conversion for the printhead data. The PFAIL and software enable bits are used to disable battery RAM writes. Figure 5-12 provides a block diagram of the PAL.

Display Interface Module

The display interface consists of a data buffer (U14) for D0D7 which interfaces to the ICM7228A seven-segment LED driver IC (U1 on the display board), and D flipflop U3 which drives the 1 UA segments through Q1Q4 transistors. Data lines have 100 series resistors (R524R531) which help to reduce emissions. A diode clamp device (U18) on the data bus is a used to protect against ESD to the display area. Figure 5-13 provides a block diagram of the display interface module.

Status/Switch Input Module

The status/switch input module consists of buffers U15 and U16 and series/parallel elements for protection against ESD. The monitor membrane switch panel provides 11 switch closures to ground which are fed to 100 k pull up resistors and through 10 k series elements. Buffers U14 and U15 are further protected by capacitors to ground and diode clamp devices U17 and U22. Two LEDs are present on the membrane switch panel: the power LED is driven by +5 V through resistor R350; the recorder LED is driven from PAL U4 through buffer U6 and resistor R351. Figure 5-14 provides a block diagram of the status/switch input module.

Communications Module
The communications section consists of quad UART U21 and RS-232 transceivers U19 and U20. The baud rate frequencies are generated from crystal X3 (3.6864 MHz). Two of the RS-232 channels are used for external communications while the remaining two provide spare internal channels. Each channel has four ports for RTS/CTS/general input-output. Both external channels support the RTS/CTS lines. Transceivers U19 and U20 convert the UART 3 V digital communications lines to RS-232 levels (7 V typically) for transmission; and 7 V RS-232 levels to 3 V levels for reception. RJ-45 connectors J7 and J8 provide center connection compatibility to the 6-pin RJ-11 connectors found on the 120 Series Maternal/Fetal Monitors. The 170 Series uses the larger 8-pin connectors to provide fused power for future interfacing. Each channel has shunt 1000 pF shunt capacitors for emissions, 100 series resistors, and clamp devices D6 and D7 for ESD protection. Figure 5-15 provides a block diagram of the communications module.

Recorder Interface Module

The recorder interface consists of motor control, paper status logic, and printhead control logic. The motor control consists of latch U3, buffer U6, and FET transistors Q5Q8. The four phase signals are generated by the processor using U3. These phases are translated to 5 V and buffered by U6 to drive the FETs which in turn drive the unipolar motor. Clamp diodes are used to limit the inductive spike generated when the switches open. The paper status logic consists of paper out and paper misload optical sensor interface circuitry as well as a door switch interface. The paper status logic consists of dual digital potentiometer U9, resistors R216 and R217 for LED drive to the paper out sensor, and R219 and R220 for LED drive to the paper misload sensor. The digital potentiometer connects to the collector of the sensor transistor and becomes the variable pull-up. These signals (MISCOIL and OUTCOIL) are further processed by the analog-to-digital converter to determine the correct threshold for the two sensors. Clamp device U8 is used for ESD protection. The door switch input is a switch closure to ground and is read by the processor through buffer U15. The printhead interface consists of PAL U4 which contains the printhead control latch, head protection circuitry, and printhead shift register. The printhead control latch contains the four strobes for the printhead sections, the printhead load line, and the printhead power supply enable line. The printhead protection timer consists of a four-bit counter which uses a 2 kHz clock [Usmode, U4 (pin 35)] to count off six clocks. The counter is enabled when any one of the four processor-latched strobes is active. After six counts of any active strobe (3 ms), the counter disables all four output strobes and turns off the +24 V head supply. The circuit resets when the processor-latched strobes return to an inactive state. The power fail control line input U4 (pin 76) is also a form of protection which turns off all strobes and the power supply when the +12 V drops to about 10 V. The printhead shift register consists of an 8-bit shift register which clocks out D7 first and clock counters which allow eight clocks to be output for every processor write to the register. The clock counter also provides a done status bit (BUSY*) which goes high after all eight bits are shifted out. This status bit is read through the UART spare port line U21 (pin 28). Figure 5-16 provides a block diagram of the recorder interface.

Ultrasound Module
Model 171 and Model 173 Monitors contain a single ultrasound channel board. Model 172 and Model 174 Monitors contain a dual ultrasound channel board. The theory contained in this section references the dual ultrasound board but is applicable to the single ultrasound board as well.

Overview
The ultrasound circuitry is a dual channel pulsed Doppler system with Channel 1 and Channel 2. Each channel generates a 1.151 MHz (center frequency) pulsed carrier signal. This signal carrier causes the crystals in the transducer to emit ultrasonic waves. When these sound waves enter the maternal abdomen, they create echoes when encountering an interface between tissues of differing acoustic impedance. If the interface is moving either toward or away from the ultrasound transducer, the frequency of the reflected sound differs from the frequency sent from the transducer.

Isolation Transformer
Model 174 Monitors have an isolation transformer for US Channel 1 signals since the connector is shared with the FECG Channel.

Ultrasound Transducer
When the reflected sound wave is received by the transducer crystals, it is converted to an electrical signal. After being amplified, detected, and filtered, this signal is split into two paths: ultrasound audio and ultrasound envelope. The audio signal is amplified for driving the speaker, while the ultrasound envelope is processed for heart rate data. The center frequency of the transmitted carrier is 1.151 MHz with a pulse repetition frequency of 2 kHz (single or dual use). When both ultrasound channels are being used, Channel 1 completes a transmit/ receive cycle while Channel 2 is muted; then Channel 2 completes a transmit/ receive cycle while Channel 1 is muted.

Programmable Array Logic (PAL)

All functions of the pulsed Doppler ultrasound circuit are controlled by a PAL U50. Integrated circuit U48 latches the transmit and demodulator signals to prevent race conditions and phase jitter caused by the PAL U50. Table 5-19 provides a summary of PAL outputs. Figure 5-17 provides a block diagram of the ultrasound module.

Theory of Operation: Main Board Theory of Operation

Ultrasound Oscillator
Internal gates located in integrated circuit U50, X4, and associated components comprise a crystal-controlled oscillator running at 4.604 MHz. The inverted output of this oscillator is the clock that is used to clock latch U48; therefore changes at the outputs of U50 are not clocked out of U48 until one-half clock cycle later. The system runs at a frequency of 2 kHz [(4.604 MHz/1151)/2=2 kHz] and the time for each transmission and reception is 250 s [(1/2000)/2=250 s]. The signal TRANS_BURST is a square wave at a frequency of 1.151 MHz. It is initiated four clock cycles after the internal reset of the binary counter within U50 used to decode the signals used by the ultrasound system and continues 428 clock cycles. The signal DET_BURST1 is also a square waves at a frequency of 1.151 MHz. This signal is output 640 clock cycles after reset, and continues up to 1020 clock cycles.

Pin Diode Circuitry

The signals PIN1 and PIN2, from PAL U50, turn on the appropriate switches of U47 so as to bias pin diodes D21 and D22 on; this in turn provides a low impedance path for the Channel 1 transducer to the ultrasound transmitter and preamplifier. Diodes D23 and D24 are biased off, providing a high impedance path to the ultrasound transmitter and preamplifier for the Channel 2 transducer. The opposite of the above is true when the Channel 2 transducer is activated.

Transmission/Reception
Integrated circuits U53, U54, and U55 are voltage regulators used to provide stable, low-noise power supplies for the ultrasound receiver and transmitter. Transistor Q11, inductor L1, and capacitor C208 form the ultrasound transmitter. Q11 is driven by the signal TRANS_BURST. Inductor L2 and capacitors C209, C210, and CV1 provide tuning for the transmitter output. The transmitter has a nominal output impedance of 30 , and can typically drive 4 V peak-to-peak into a 20 load. Transistors Q12, Q13, and Q14, and associated components, form the preamplifier. Capacitors C213, C215, C229, and C216 provide power supply rejection for the preamplifier. Inductor L3, along with capacitors C211 and C212, form a series resonant tank circuit. This tank circuit provides a low impedance path for the received signals from the transducer, and a voltage gain of approximately 28 dB. The typical input impedance to this tank circuit is 30 s. Transistors Q12 and Q13 form a cascode amplifier. Transistor Q13 is a dual nchannel field effect transistor connected in parallel. This parallel connection provides an improvement of 3 dB in signal-to-noise ratio due to the gain doubling and the noise adding in quadrature. Inductor L4 and capacitors C214 and CV3 form a parallel resonant tank circuit with an impedance of approximately 17 ks. The shunt impedance of resistors R388, R389, R390, R391, and R392 effectively lower this impedance to 3.6 k. The gain of the preamplifier is approximately 19 dB and is defined by: Rl/((1/(2*gm))+R386)= 3.6k/((1/.002)+200) Transistor Q14 and transformer T1 provide a differential output for the preamplifier. Diode D19 provides protection for Q13 and removes the low impedance tank circuit L3 and C211, and C212 during transmission by shunting L3. Diode D20 provides overload recovery for the preamplifier and voltage limiting to the demodulator through Q14 and T1.

U43 is a quad-switched capacitor integrated circuit configured as a balanced ring demodulator. Its analog inputs are connected to the differential outputs of the preamplifier at the secondary of T1. The switches within the device are actuated by the signal DET_BURST1. The two analog outputs of U43 drive the difference amplifier U44 and its associated components. Integrated circuit U45 switches the output of the difference amplifier U44 (pin 14) to the track-and-hold circuit of either Channel 1 or Channel 2. The track-and-hold circuit for Channel 1 is comprised of components R408, C225, and buffer amplifier U46 (pin 7). The track-and-hold circuit for Channel 2 is comprised of components R409, C226 and buffer amplifier U46 (pin1). The track-and-hold circuits retain the amplitude of the last value from the previous demodulator activation. If this method were not employed, the system gain would have to be twice as high since it is a time sampled system. The samples must be integrated over time (averaged) to produce the desired output. In summary, this method improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the system. Since the DET signal is driven at the same frequency as the transmitted signal, any return signal of the same frequency will be averaged and produce either 0 V or a dc offset at the output of the demodulator; this is not seen by the main filter driven by the demodulator since it is AC coupled by capacitors C253 and C262. Therefore, a difference frequency (Doppler shift frequency) must be present to produce an output from the demodulator. The output of the track-and-hold circuit of Channel 1 at U46 (pin 7) is switched to the Channel 1 main filter through U39 (pin 11) to U39 (pins 6 and 10).

Filtering
The main filter is a band-pass amplifier with 3 dB points at 120 Hz and 300 Hz, respectively. The band width slopes are greater than 40 dB/octave. The maximum gain of the filter is 46 dB with peaking of approximately 48 dB at 250 Hz. The nominal gain in the system is approximately 36 dB and is controlled by R454. The Channel 1 main filter is comprised of U51 and associated components. The output of the track-and-hold circuit of Channel 2 at U46 (pin 1) is connected directly to the Channel 2 main filter. The main filter is a band-pass amplifier with 3 dB points are 120 Hz and 300 Hz, respectively. The band width slopes are greater than 40 dB/octave. The maximum gain of the filter is 46 dB with peaking of approximately 48 dB at 250 Hz. The nominal gain in the system is approximately 36 dB and is controlled by R467. The Channel 2 main filter is comprised of U52 and associated components. Integrated circuit U40 switches the output of either the Channel 1 demodulator, the Channel 2 demodulator, or telemetry audio to the fetal movement band-pass filter. This filter has a gain of 3.5 and corner frequencies of 15 Hz. and 39 Hz, respectively. It is comprised of U41 and associated components. The output of the fetal movement filter is input to the analog-to-digital converter. The output of the main filters are input to U10 through capacitors C44 and C45. The input impedance of these inputs is 10 k, thus producing a high-pass filter at 72 Hz. A tone is also one of the inputs to U10 through a high-pass filter at 15 Hz and a gain reduction of 21 dB. The components comprising the filter are C47 and R223. U10 is a quad digital potentiometer with 255 step producing a gain range from 0 to 48 dB. It is controlled by the serial peripheral interface (SPI) system bus.

Ultrasound Audio
Ultrasound audio (Channel 1 and Channel 2) is output on U10 (pin 8) and U10 (pin 4), respectively. These outputs are buffered by U11 (pin 7) and U11 (pin 8), respectively. The buffered outputs are high-pass filtered at 80 Hz by C57/R236 and C58/R237. They are then half-wave rectified by U13 (pin 8) and its associated components. The output of the rectifier is band-pass filtered from 43 to 260 Hz at a gain of 7.3 by U13 (pin 1) and its associated components. This effectively doubles the frequency which is necessary because the transducer operates at a low RF frequency (1.151 MHz); and the frequencies produced from the fetal heart would not produce acceptable audio quality. The output of U13 (pin 1) is input to summing amplifier U11 (pin 14). The tone output of U10 (pin 18) is also summed by U11 (pin 14) which is a low-pass filter at 2600 Hz with a slope of 12dB/octave. The output of U11 (pin 14) is high-pass filtered at 72 Hz by C52/R231 to the audio power amplifier. The audio power amplifier U12 is a bridge type configuration with a gain of 2.5 and capable of delivering 1.5 W of power into 8 . Figure 5-18 provides block diagram of the audio module.

Ultrasound Envelopes
The outputs of the main filters are also input to U32 and U35. The input to U35 is through high-pass filters at 63 Hz. The high pass components for Channel 1 and Channel 2 are C154/R338 and C159/R357, respectively. The output of the main filters are also input to U32; this integrated circuit, in conjunction with U35, forms an AGC (automatic gain control) circuit for both ultrasound channels. Each of these AGC circuit has a maximum gain of 200 with a dynamic range of 46 dB. Each of the AGC outputs are high-pass filtered by C169/R343 at 90 Hz with a gain of one, then input to a half-wave detector U36 (pin 7) with a gain of 1.47. The output of the detector circuits are low-pass filtered by U36 (pin 1)at 20 Hz at gain of ten. These envelopes are then input to the analog-to-digital converter U38. Other inputs to the analog-to-digital converter are the telemetry TOCO signal. This signal is scaled and offset to provide 100 to +400 relative UA units.

Uterine Activity
Integrated circuit U33, with a gain of 200, and U34 (pin 7), with a gain of 1.25, provide a total gain of 250 for the on-board tocotransducer pressure channel. The output of U34 (pin 7) is offset +0.5 V, providing a dynamic range of 80 to +400 relative units. Each relative unit represents 20 V at the input of U33 through resistors R318 and R320. Integrated circuit U42, and its associated components, comprise a charge pump that converts the +3.3 V to 3.3 V. U38 (pin 11) and U34 (pin 1) comprise a 2.5 V reference voltage. U71 (pin 7) provides a reference voltage which is half the 2.5 V reference, called VREF/2. Integrated circuit U56 (pin 7), and associated components, provides the +4 V required for the tocotransducer. Figure 5-19 provides a block diagram of the antepartum uterine activity section.

Power Supplies
Integrated circuit U60 is a voltage comparator that senses that the power has been removed, and inhibits battery RAM access and recorder printing when the supply drops to approximately 10 V. Integrated circuit U58 forms an R-S flip-flop. U58 (pin 6) is set high when the Power button is pressed. Q19 collector also goes to a logic 1 whenever the Power button is pressed. When U58 (pin 6) is pulled high, it enables the SYNC signal at U59 (pin 4) which is inverted by U59 (pin 3) to reach all the switching power supplies. The sync frequency is 575 kHz and is derived, and hence synchronized to the ultrasound system. U62 and its associated components comprise a buck converter with an output voltage of +5.8 V. This is used as the pre-regulator for linear regulators U65, U66, U68, and U69. U65 provides the system +5 V. U66 provides the +5 V for the recorder motor. U67 provides the +5 V for the audio amplifier. U68 provides +3.3 V for the analog circuitry. U69 provides the +3.3 V for the digital circuitry. U61, and its associated components, comprise a linear regulator with an output voltage of +7.5 V. This is used as the pre-regulator for the linear regulator U55 which provides the +6 V for the ultrasound front end; it also powers U53 which provides the 6 V and powers U56 which is used to generate the +4 V for the tocotransducer circuitry. U64, and its associated components, comprise a boost converter with an output voltage of +24 V. Integrated circuit U70, under microprocessor control, is used to control the +24 V for the recorder printhead. The +24 V output is current limited by Q20, Q21, and associated components. The power output is limited to 17 W. Figure 5-20 provides a block diagram of the power supply section.

FECG/IUP Board Theory of Operation

Isolated Power Supply
Patient isolation for the FECG and the IUP catheter is accomplished by providing floating power supplies to power the FECG and IUP front end electronics. Integrated circuit U12 provides non-overlapping drive signals to dual FET U9 which in turn drives the primary of transformer T1. Resistor R94 and capacitor C12 provide dampening for the primary of T1 so as to limit the voltage at the drains of U9 to a level below their breakdown voltage. The frequency at which the primary of T1 is switched is 35968.75 Hz which is derived by dividing the signal 144 kHz by four. The actual frequency of this signal is 143875 Hz and is derived from the PAL U50 in the ultrasound circuit. Thus the transformer switching frequency is synchronized to the ultrasound circuit. The secondary of transformer T1 drives rectifiers D9 and D10. These rectifiers are filtered by C8 and C10 for the positive power supply, and by C9 and C11 for the negative power supply. Integrated circuit U3 and its associated components provide a regulated positive voltage (+10 V for Model 173; +9.3 V for Model 174), while integrated circuit U4 provide a regulated negative voltage (10 V for Model 173; 9.3 V for Model 174). Integrated circuit U1 is a positive precision 2.5 volt reference. The output of U1 is input to the non inverting input of amplifier U2 (pin 3). The output of this amplifier U2 (pin 1) drives the emitter follower Q1. The gain of the amplifier-emitter follower is 1.6 and is set by resistors R3 and R4. The output of Q1 emitter is 4 V (1.6 x 2.5). This voltage is used to power either an IUP transducer or tocotransducer. Resistor R1 in the collector of Q1 is used to sense the current drain from other manufacturers of IUP transducers who don't have an IUP enable associated with them. When the voltage at the junction of resistors R36 and R37 falls below 1.164 V (4 mA) the output of the voltage comparator U16 (pin 8) switches from a high state to a low state, which in turn causes transistor Q3 to turn on and transfer the IUP enable across the isolated barrier. This signal is named IUPEN*. However If a tocotransducer is present, this signal is ignored. Transistor Q3 can also be turned on by the signal PEN*. For Model 173 and 174 Monitors, integrated circuit U33 and associated components provide regulation of the power supplied to the FECG/IUP Board circuitry (+12 V for Model 173; +11.6 V for Model 174). For a Model 174 only, the CLEAR signal synchronizes the counter in the PAL; this in effect stops the power supply during the receive cycle of the ultrasound process for noise reduction purposes.

Theory of Operation: FECG/IUP Board Theory of Operation

Pressure Channel
The input to the pressure channel is to resistors R9 and R10 with the signal names of PRESS and +PRESS respectively. Resistors R9 through R12 and capacitors C16 through C18 provide RF filtering, and in conjunction with diode limiters D1 and D2, provide protection from electro-static discharge.Instrumentation amplifier U5 provides a gain of 248 which is given by (49.4E3/R13)+1. The output of U5 which is inverting with respect to the signal PRESS, drives the inverting amplifier U6 (pin 1). This amplifier has a gain of 4.99 and rolls off at approximately 32 Hz. The output of U6 (pin 1) drives U6 (pin 5) with a division of two formed by resistors R18 and R19. The operation of this amplifier is best understood if analyzed from its quiesent condition of no input signal. Under this condition U6 (pin 5) is at zero volts, therefore U6 (pin 6) must also be at zero volts. This forces a quiesent current of 75 A through R20. This current is produced by U6 (pin 7) driving the LED that illuminates the photodiode at U10 (pins 3 and 4) which is the feedback path. The LED also illuminates the photodiode at U10 (pins 5 and 6) which are on the nonisolated side. The current transfer ratio of this photodiode with respect to the photodiode on U10 (pins 3 and 4) is 0.85 to 1.05. The tocotransducer and the IUP transducer have the transfer function of 5V/UA-Unit/Volt-excitation. Therefore since the excitation voltage is 4 V, the input voltage is 0.002V/100UA-Units. This corresponds to 2.475 V at U6 (pin 1) and 1.2375 Vat U6 (pin 5). This causes a delta current of 9.3 A through R20, which is also transferred across the barrier with the same transfer ratio of 0.85 to 1.05. This current is input to U13 (pin 6) through R32. Potentiometer R25 sets the gain at U13 (pin 8) to 0.5 V/100UA-Units. Potentiometer R30 sets the initial offset voltage to +0.5 V. The output amplifier U13 (pin 8) is a unity gain amplifier with 3 poles of filtering with its 3 dB frequency of 3 Hz. Since the system analog-to-digital converter has an input range of 0 to 2.5 V, the dynamic range is from 100 to +400UA-Units.

Theory of Operation: FECG/IUP Board Theory of Operation

FECG Channel
The input to the FECG channel is two resistors R42 and R43 with the signal names of RA and LA respectively. Resistors R42, R43, R45, and R462 and capacitors C38 through C40 provide RF filtering, and in conjunction with diode limiters D3 through D6 provide protection from electro-static discharge. Resistors R40, R41, and R44 cause amplifier U7 to saturate when the FECG cable is not connected to a fetus. This disables the FECG channel from counting noise and flashing LEDs and causing tones to be generated by the speaker. Instrumentation amplifier U7 provides a gain of 13.7 which is given by (49.4E3/R54)+1. Amplifier U2 (pins 5, 6, and 7) is an integrator which has high gain at DC with reducing gain as frequency increases. Amplifier U2 (pin 7) drives amplifier U2 (pin8). Amplifier U2 (pin 8) is noninverting and is patient protected in the event of a failure of this device. The two sections of U2 provide the right leg drive circuit. The right leg drive is a feedback circuit that provides drive in the opposite polarity to a common mode voltage. Its purpose is to cancel DC offset from the electrode, and to help reject 50 and 60 Hz components. The output of U7, which is inverting with respect to the signal RA, drives the non-inverting amplifier U2 (pin 12) through a high-pass filter of 10 Hz. Resistor R58 and diode D7 provide voltage limiting at U2 (pin 12). This amplifier has a gain of 22.5 and rolls off at approximately 224 Hz. The output of U2 (pin 14) drives U8 (pin 3) through R64. Resistor R64 and diode D8 provide voltage limiting at U8 (pin 3). This amplifier has a gain of 22.5 and rolls off at approximately 224 Hz. The composite bandwidth and gain at this point is from 10 Hz to 320 Hz with a gain of 6936. The output of U8 (pin 1) drives amplifier U8 (pin 5) with a division of 10/11 formed by resistors R67 and R68. The operation of this amplifier is best understood if analyzed from its quiesent condition of no input signal. Under this condition U8 (pin 5) is at zero volts, therefore U8 (pin 6) must also be at zero volts. This forces a quiesent current of 75 A through R69. This current is produced by U8 (pin 7) driving the LED that illuminates the photodiode at U11 (pins 3 and 4) which is the feedback path. The LED also illuminates the photodiode at U11 (pins 5 and 6) which are on the un-isolated side. The current transfer ratio of this photodiode, with respect to the photodiode, on U11 (pins 3 and 4) is 0.85 to 1.05. The input voltage required to drive U8 (pin 1) to either of its power supply limits is approximately 1.44 mV peak. This corresponds to approximately 5 V at U8 (pin 1) for 0.72 mV input, and 4.55 V at U8 (pin 5). This causes a delta current of 34.2 A through R69, which is also transferred across the barrier with the same transfer ratio of 0.85 to 1.05. This current is input to U15 (pin 3) with resistor R75 being the load resistor that produces a voltage proportional to the current transferred to it. Amplifier U15 (pin 7) produces an offset voltage of 1.97 V. The quiesent current of 75 A flowing through R75 will produce a voltage of approximately +1.25 V at U15 (pin 3). A 0.72 mV signal peak-to-peak at the input will produce approximately 1.26 V at U15 (pin 1). Thus 1.44 mV at the input will produce 2.52 V at U15 (pin 8). Amplifier U15 (pin 14) is a non-inverting amplifier with a gain of one. It also provides 3 sections of high-pass filtering at 25 Hz. Amplifier U15 (pin 8) is a non-inverting amplifier with a gain of one. It also provides 3 sections of low-pass filtering at 90 Hz.

Mode Enables
The FECG enable ties resistor R87 to the floating ground when the FECG cable is attached. This causes approximately 4.5 mA to flow in the LED of opto-coupler U17. The current transfer function of the coupler is 19% typically which causes 860 A to flow in the photo-transistor of U17 in turn causing R103 to be pulled to

ground on the non-floating side of the barrier. It is then sensed by the system microprocessor. The IUP enable ties resistor R97 to the floating ground when the IUP transducer cable is attached. This causes approximately 4.5 mA to flow in the LED of optocoupler U17. The current transfer function of the coupler is 19% typically which causes 860 A to flow in the photo-transistor of U17 in turn causing R104 to be pulled to ground on the non-floating side of the barrier. It is then sensed by the system microprocessor. The tocotransducer enable ties resistor R100 to the floating ground when the IUP transducer cable is attached. This causes approximately 4.5 mA to flow in the LED of opto-coupler U17. The current transfer function of the coupler is 19% typically which causes 860 A to flow in the photo-transistor of U17in turn causing R105 to be pulled to ground on the non-floating side of the barrier. It is then sensed by the system microprocessor. For a Model 174 only, the ultrasound enable ties resistor R109 to the RL when the ultrasound cable is attached. This causes approximately 4.5 mA to flow in the LED of opto-coupler U17. The current transfer function of the coupler is 19% typically which causes 860 A to flow in the photo-transistor of U17 in turn causing P16 (pin 6) to be pulled to ground on the non-floating side of the barrier. It is then sensed by the system microprocessor. In summary, the US1 enable isolated one channel of US from the Main Board along with a mode enable from the FECG/IUP Board.

Serviceable Assemblies: Tocotransducer Calibration NOTE: When performing this procedure, keep in mind that due to the nature of the circuitry in the Trimline Tocotransducer, there is a stabilization time of approximately two seconds for any output voltage. After adjusting a potentiometer, verify that the output has stabilized prior to taking a voltage reading. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Remove the nameplate and sealing tape from the top cover of the Trimline Tocotransducer. Set the GAIN and ZERO CTR potentiometers in the tocotransducer fully counterclockwise. Set the ZERO TRIM potentiometer to its mid-positionapproximately six turns from fully counterclockwise. Locate TP2 and TP9 (ground) on the Main Board in the 170 Series Monitor. Connect the positive lead of the digital voltmeter to TP2; connect the negative lead to TP9. Apply power to the 170 Series Monitor; then plug the CMR Test Jack into the monitors front panel uterine activity connector. Measure the voltage at TP2 and record the value. Replace the CMR Test Jack with the tocotransducer to be calibrated. Place the tocotransducer on a flat surface so that the button is face up, then center the 52.5 gram weight on the button.

10. Adjust the ZERO CTR and/or the ZERO TRIM potentiometer(s) so that the voltage measured across TP2 and TP9 matches the reading recorded in step 7, 0.04 V. This voltage is referred to as the WEIGHT ON voltage.

The ZERO CTR potentiometer provides course adjustment. The ZERO TRIM potentiometer provides fine adjustment.

11. Remove the weight and observe the voltage reading; this voltage is referred to as the WEIGHT OFF voltage. A correctly adjusted transducer will show a voltage change of +0.115 V 0.015 V from the WEIGHT ON to WEIGHT OFF voltage. If the change is less than 0.1 V, adjust the GAIN potentiometer counterclockwise to increase the gain. If the change is more than 0.13 V, then adjust the GAIN potentiometer clockwise to decrease the gain. 12. Repeat step 9 through step 11 until the change in voltage between the WEIGHT ON and WEIGHT OFF conditions falls into specification.

13. Torque seal all potentiometers. Affix new sealing tape and re-install the nameplate. CAUTION OFFSET VOLTAGESDue to offset voltages induced by the circuitry in the Trimline Tocotransducer, it is necessary to adjust the change in voltage between the WEIGHT ON condition and WEIGHT OFF conditioninstead of simply adjusting the output voltage for each condition. Adjusting the GAIN potentiometer while monitoring the voltage at TP2 may show little or no voltage change as the potentiometer is being adjusted. However, when the weight is again placed on the button, the output voltage for this condition may have changed significantly. In summary, it is necessary to adjust the GAIN potentiometer and then recheck the voltages during both the WEIGHT ON condition and the WEIGHT OFF condition to determine the effectiveness of the adjustment. As stated in step 12, the procedure is repeated until the voltages fall into specification for both conditions.

Left/Right Alignment
1. 2. Print the continuous recorder test pattern. (See Printing a Continuous Test Pattern above.) Check the quality of the printed lines. Verify that the horizontal lines print evenly. Ideally the distance between the right paper guide at the roller and the first line printed by the test pattern should be 0.490 in which represents a nominal value. Use a vernier caliper to measure this distance. Use the Volume buttons ( or ) to align the printhead left or right, respectively. A number between 0 and 255 shows in the FHR display. The number increases or decreased as you make adjustments using the Volume buttons. IMPORTANT ACCURACYA common mistake in the field is to adjust the printhead so that the first test pattern line prints at 0 mmHg on the paper, rather than by measuring the nominal distance. This method is often inaccurate as it does not account for paper variations.

For best results:

Use only GE paper. Ensure paper is correctly loaded as instructed on page 4-2. Use a vernier caliper to adjust the printhead to its nominal position.

Critikon Model 1846/1846SX

Critikon Model 1846/1846SX Monitors can be interfaced to a 170 Series Monitor to provide a printout of NBP values on the strip chart paper. 1. Refer to Table 8-2 for the appropriate interface cable. Connect one end to an available RS-232C port (1 or 2) on the 170 Series Monitor; connect the other end to the serial communications port on the blood pressure monitor. Refer to the Critikon documentation for information on the name of the connector. Access the fetal monitor service setup mode and set the baud rate and mode for the appropriate port to 600 and ext. BP, respectively; then exit the service setup mode. Be aware of the following information specific to Critikon monitors:

The clock on the Critikon Modes 1846/1846SX Monitors must be set to within 10 minutes of the 170 Series Monitor. If the clocks are not within 10 minutes of each other, the time will print with each blood pressure reading. Due to the storage capabilities of Critikon monitors, it is recommended that power be cycled at the beginning of each data session. This ensures that any previously stored data is cleared. When using STAT mode on a Critikon monitor, the 170 Series Monitor does not print the time with each reading due to overcrowding on the strip chart. Instead the time is printed once every three to five minutes. The Critikon Model 1846SX discards NBP values after 90 minutes.

115 Transmit/Receive Mode

Once a valid request for data is received, the 170 Series Monitor will send only the information that is requested. The selection of this information is done by sending a request stream to the 170 Series Monitor. After processing the request, the 170 Series Monitor will then send only the selected parameters to the external computer. The information selected by the external computer will be transmitted following the same criteria described for the 115 Update Mode. The requested parameters may be changed at any time by the host computer by sending a new request sequence. NOTE: Refer to Requested Data Format on page 8-12 for information about the response data format. The format is the same for both the 115 Update mode and the 115 Transmit/Receive mode.

Requested Data Format

The format of the data requested by the external computer from the monitor is shown in Figure 8-2. NOTE: This applies to 115 Transmit/Receive mode only. The definitions of the bytes are as follows:

Fetal Movement: This field contains one ASCII character representing the current status of the FM signal: low or high. If the data byte is a 0 (30H), then the signal is low indicating no movement is detected; if the data byte is 1 (31H), then the signal is high indicating fetal movement is detected. If the fetal movement feature is not in the monitor, the data byte is 2 (32H). If the fetal movement feature is present but not enabled, the data byte is 4 (34H). This data is transmitted four times per second. (Fetal movement detection circuitry is an option which can be purchased for the 170 Series Monitor. Recorder Status: This field contains one ASCII character representing the current status of the PAPER OUT* signal: low or high. If the data byte is a 0 (30H), then the signal is low indicating paper is loaded and the recorder door is closed; if the data byte is 1 (31H), then the signal is high indicating a paper out condition. This data is transmitted once per second, when active.

End of Text
This 1-byte field contains the value 03H. If this byte is sent immediately following the Monitor ID, then the 170 Series Monitor will cancel transmission of all data.

Limitations
The only restriction on the information transmitted during either 115 communication mode occurs when the baud rate is set below 4800 baud. Under this condition, data loss may occur. NOTE: The recommended baud rate is 9600.

Error Conditions
Transmission Errors
Transmission errors may be detected by the external computer as parity errors, framing errors (no valid stop bit), or invalid characters. There is no facility in the 170 Series Monitor to re-transmit any information found to contain an error. It is therefore up to the user to decide what action to take as a result of an error.

Request Errors
These errors apply to the 115 Transmit/Receive Mode only. Request errors are detected by the monitor as parity errors, framing errors, and invalid Monitor ID. If the monitor fails to respond properly to a request, it is suggested that the external computer re-transmit a request sequence.

Cabling Information
Monitor RS-232 Connector
The 170 Series Monitors RS-232C Ports each use an 8-pin RJ-45 connector, shown in Figure 8-4. The following control signals are supported:

Request to Send (RTS): This output line is asserted (+12 V) whenever the 170 Series Monitor is on and operating; it can be used to determine whether the monitor is powered on. Transmit Data (TXD): This output line provides the serial data sent to the external computer from the 170 Series Monitor. Clear to Send (CTS): This input line must be asserted in order to enable the transmission of data from the 170 Series Monitor. Under conditions where no modem is used, the line can be tied to the RTS line of the monitor. If a modem is used, this line should be tied to the CTS line of the modem. Receive Data (RXD): This input line provides the serial data sent from the external computer to the 170 Series Monitor.

Standard RS-232C Rules

The following rules must be observed:

When a direct connection is made between a 170 Series Monitor and another Data Terminal Equipment (DTE), a standard null-modem cable must be used. When an indirect connection is made, using a modem, a 170 Series Monitor requires a normal-modem cable.

Cable Distance
The RS-232C Interface supplied with the 170 Series Monitor is capable of operating over varying distances depending upon the data rate used and whether the cabling is shielded or unshielded. Refer to the manufacturers specifications.

Data Terminal Equipment Cabling

When the 170 Series Monitor is directly connected to another Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device, a standard null-modem cable is required as shown in Figure 8-5.

Data Communications Equipment Cabling

When the 170 Series Monitor is connected to a Data Communications Equipment (DCE) device (a modem), a standard normal-modem cable is required as shown in Figure 8-6.
