table environment is recommended.
Do not scratch and damage the screen.
Avoid high voltage and static charge.
6.3 Maintenance of the Transducers
Keep the transducers in a dry environment with the temperature lower than +45°C (+113°F).
Wipe off coupling gel from the ultrasound transducer after us to prolong the life of the transducer.
Handle the transducers with care. Rough handling could damage the cover, piezoelectric crystals
and mechanical movement. Contacting the transducers with hard or sharp objects should be
avoided.
Do not excessively flex the cables.
6.4 Maintenance of the Recorder

The recorder platen, thermal print head and paper sensing mechanism must be cleaned at least
once a year or when needed (when traces become faint).
To clean the recorder:
1) Clean the recorder platen with a lint-free cloth and soap/ water solution.
2) Wipe the thermal array using a cotton swab moistened with 70% Isopropyl alcohol-based
solution.
3) Remove dust on the paper sensing mechanism and paper sensor with a dry clean cloth.
CAUTION
Only use the recorder paper provided by EDAN, or it may damage the recorder. This
kind of damage is not covered by warranty.

F9 Fetal & maternal Monitor Service Manual Principle Introduction
Chapter 7 Principle Introduction
7.1 Modules Principle

7.1.1 Ultrasound Doppler
The fetal heart Doppler signal detecting is based on Ultrasound Doppler frequency shifting
principle. A sound source sends out constant frequency sound wave, the wave transmits in organs
and reflects when coming across interfaces. If the interface moves toward the sound source, the
frequency of the reflected wave will be different from that of the incident wave: the incident
wave’s approaching will be translated into an increase in frequency; its receding will cause the
frequency to decrease. This is the Doppler Effect. When the Doppler Effect happens, there is a
difference between the frequencies of the sent out sound wave and the received sound wave,
which is called Doppler frequency Offset (fD).
f0
fD = ±2V *
C
In this equation f 0 is for the frequency of the ultrasound, C denotes the speed of wave
transmitting in the organ, V denotes the moving speed of the interface.
For the fetal heart, the frequency offset of 1 MHz ultrasound source is about 60 ~ 400Hz (the
standard adapted by EDAN). After being demodulating, amplified and filtered, the received
ultrasound signals (the filter has a passband of 60 ~ 400Hz) are translated into fetal Doppler
frequency offset signals. For the convenience of calculating, we envelope these signals after that.
Then DSP does autocorrelation calculation to the A/D sampled results and figure out the fetal
heart rate.
7.1.2 Fetal movement Doppler Signal Detecting Principle

When the sound source is 1MHz ultrasonic, the frequency offset (fD) of fetal movement is about
10 ~ 40Hz, the flow of signal processing is the same as that of the fetal heart detecting. The
algorithm applied currently is squaring the A/D sampling results and taking the average value as
the fetal movement signal intensity.
7.1.3 Pressure Detecting Principle

The pressure detecting applies the Wheatstone bridge circuit. Refer to figure 8-1, the pressure
signal has been transformed into voltage signal for measuring. Two pressure stain gauges R1 and
R8 are installed on both sides of the spring, the spring’s being forced causes the resistance of R1
- 22 -
and R8 to change, one increases the other decreases, and the increment equals to the decrement.
Apply voltage at E1 and E4, change of resistance becomes change of voltage. The formula is:
ΔR ΔR
E2 = ( E1 − E 4) = ( E1 − E 4)
R1 + ΔR + R8 − ΔR 2R
In the formula, R denotes the resistance of R1 and R8 when there is no distortion (R1=R8).
Amplify the difference between E2 and E3 with an apparatus amplifier, now the change of
pressure has become change of voltage, which is simple for the system to measure.
Figure 7-1 Internal circuit in TOCO transducer
7.1.4 DECG Module Principle

DECG measuring principle: collect DECG signals through spiral electrode; amplify and filter
them with Front-End circuit; the microprocessor calculates the fetal heart rate; transfer the fetal
heart rate and original wave data to the main control board through serial port.
IUP measuring principle: sense the pressure of inner uterine with the IUP transducer; transform
the pressure signals into electricity signals; amplify and filter them with Front-End circuit; the
microprocessor calculates the pressure; transfer the result to the main control board through serial
port.
