1.3 Ultrasound Safety Guide
A Fetal Use
The CADENCE II Fetal Monitor is designed for continuous fetal heart rate monitoring during
pregnancy and labor. Clinical interpretation of fetal heart rate trends can diagnose fetal and/or
maternal problems and complications.
A Instructions for Use in Minimizing Patient Exposure
The acoustic output of CADENCE II is internally controlled and can not be varied by the
operator in the course of the examination. The duration of exposure is, however, fully under the
control of the operator. Mastery of the examination techniques described in the User Manual will
facilitate obtaining the maximum amount of diagnostic information with the minimum amount of
exposure. The exercising of clinical judgment in the monitoring of low risk patients will avoid
unnecessary insonation.
