Chapter 1. Introduction
1) Overview
FC-1400 is a fetal monitors, providing continuous monitoring, display, and recording of fetal
fetal heart rate(FHR), fetal movement(FM), and uterine activity(UA) for antepartum testing
and monitoring. FC-1400 irradiates the ultrasound wave to maternal abdomen, and detects
the Doppler effect signal reflected from the heart of the fetus. FC-1400 extracts FHR and FM
from this signal and provides the fetal heart beat sound with internal speaker. FC-1400
measures the uterine activity of a pregnant woman using toco sensor. FC-1400 displays
FHR, UA and FM with waves and numbers on the color LCD screen and saves them in
internal flash memory.
2) Features
1. Measures Fetal Heart Rate and Fetal Movement simultaneously.
2. Using the US probe for twins, measuring FHR and FM of twins is possible. (Optional)
3. Traces the saved data on the color LCD screen without wasting the record paper.
4. Prints the data you select during tracing the saved data at high speed.
5. Provides the clear heart beat sound and the accurate FHR because of the robust
ultrasound probe which endures noise.
6. Since it adopted 9-crystal and 1Mhz extending irradiation area, the discontinuity of FHR
minimized even during patient’s moving.
7. Detects and print fetal movement automatically analyzing Doppler effect signal.
8. Prints Grid and signals simultaneously when using Fax paper.
9. Provides RS-232 to communicate with the central delivery monitoring system.

② Put enough of ultrasound gel on US probe to get rid of bubble between the maternal
abdomen and the surface of US probe.
③ Find fetal back by fumbling the maternal abdomen and place US probe on it. Place US
probe as the picture below when fetus is looking right and left.
Note
When the Doppler Probe is put not on the back but on the breast part of a fetus, accurate
ultrasonic waves can’t be caught from the fetal heart and the fetal heat beat can be
frequently missed.
④ Place US probe where you can hear fetal heart beat quite loudly and clearly, the heart
turns on green LED in FHR marking area and blinks to fetal heart beat and adjust
speaker volume suitably.

⑤ Stick the button on the top of US probe to the fixing belt hole and fix it to avoid slipping of
US probe.
Note
Fix the Probe Cable toward the head part of a pregnant woman in order to prevent it from
being damaged, and for moving to some degree comparatively.
⑥ It takes 2~4 seconds for FHR to be calculated and shown.

4) UA Measurement
You can detect UA by using pressure sensor externally sticked. Put TOCO probe on the
maternal abdomen and it detects the relative pressure which changes as the maternal
abdominal contraction and record UA.
▣ Connection of TOCO probe
Connect TOCO probe to TOCO connector on the right side of the device.
▣ Basic operation according to connecting Probe
If TOCO probe is not connected to the device, you will see “TOCO off” in TOCO marking
area. If you connect TOCO probe to the device, you will see “TOCO” in the area and it is
ready to detect UA. When you see FM(Fetal Movement), it shows “TOCO+FM”.
▣ UA detecting
① Place the fixing belt under the woman’s back.

② Place TOCO probe on the top of the maternal abdomen (Fundus: 10 cm above the belly
button) or on the spot which starts to harden first.
③ Stick the fixing button sticking out of the upside of TOCO probe to the hole of fixing belt
and fix TOCO probe. Please set the TOCO at 20 ~ 90 to fasten.
④ Set a base line by pressing zero point adjusting button.

periodic or episodic changes, periods of marked variability and, segments of baseline that
differ by >25bpm. Duration must be ≥2 minutes.
2) ACCELERATION
Visually apparent abrupt increase(onset to peak is < 30sec) of FHR above baseline. Peak
is ≥ 15 bpm. Duration is ≥ 15 bpm and <2 min. Peak of 10 bpm and duration 10sec is
acceleration
3) LATE DECELERATION
Visually apparent gradual decrease( onset to nadir is ≥ 30 sec.) of FHR below baseline.
Return to baseline associated with a uterine contraction. Nadir of deceleration occurs after
the peak of the contraction. Generally, the onset, nadir and recovery of the deceleration
occur after same time as the onset, peak, and recovery of the contraction.

4) EARLY DECELERATION
