Paper Out Memory
If the recorder runs out of chart paper, the screen flashes PAPER OUT in the
dedicated status area on the screen.
When this condition occurs, the monitor continues to collect and store fetal heart
rate and uterine activity data up to one hour (40-minutes if monitoring twins). Once
the paper is replaced, the monitor prints the stored data at 12 times real time. A
vertical line marks the start and end points, along with the messages MEM
START and MEM END. When the stored data has been printed, normal (real-
time) recording resumes.
!
• The Variability Trend Graph is only generated in direct ECG
mode from FHR channel 1.
• Variability data is not meant to indicate the status or well being
of the fetus.
• Variability data is a mathematical expression of the variability of
the fetal heart rate displayed in a convenient way.
!
• All collected data is erased when the recorder is powered OFF.
• If you wish to print the collected data, do not power OFF the
recorder when replacing the paper.
• To terminate a print session on the fetal strip chart, select
