The first parameter setting is “TOCO=00 5µV”.

Thereafter, each time you press VIEW, current
settings appear in the following sequence:

TOCO=00 5µV

MAT SENS. @ 1mV

FET SENS. @ 1mV

US1=150 US2=NORM

FETHR=150 STATIC

MATERNAL HR=100

Operating the MFH-1

The Mechanical Fetal Heart (MFH-1) is an accessory to
the Simulator. Connect the MFH-1 to the US 1 port on the
Simulator via the cable supplied with the MFH-1. Set the
rate and rhythm of the mechanical heart by adjusting the
US 1 output on the Simulator. For the MFH-1 to function,
you must power the Simulator through the Battery
Eliminator. The MFH-1 will not function on battery power.

Place the ultrasound transducer face up on your work
surface and coat it with an appropriate ultrasound
conductive gel. The MFH-1 outputs the mechanical signal
via the simulation window. Place this window over each

transducer crystal in turn to verify each crystal’s function.
See Figure 2.

When you are finished, clean the MFH-1 with normal
soap and water, and then dry.
