Question:
Why does Stan S31 not display an FECG average when I connect it to an ECG simulator ?
Answer:
Given that your Stan S31 produces a fetal heart rate, the most likely reason is that your ECG simulator produces an ECG waveform with characteristics of an adult ECG, and the FECG averaging in Stan S31 is not suited to work with adult ECG.
Since the time-span of a QRS complex correlates with the amount of blood pumped through the heart, the QRS complex of an adult will appear wider than that of a fetus. Depending of the QRS configuration, this wider complex may not fit in the FECG calculation model of Stan.
In some cases, Stan S31 will generate an ECG waveform even if the QRS complex has adult characteristics, but the T/QRS ratio will likely be unreliable.
Question:
Which communication protocol version should I choose when I configure my Stan S31 for CMS communication?
Answer:
If both your Stan S31 and your CMS supports ST analysis, you should choose the latest version of the Stan protocol, setting Stan Protocol (without revision code). The R1A version of the Stan protocol is only necessary for legacy versions of CMS that cannot handle patient name and ID, and the only system that Neoventa is aware about is versions of Milou.standard from Medexa. (Milou.NET works well with the R1B version.)
If your CMS does not support the display of ST information, choose CTG Protocol. Some (legacy) versions of CMS systems may not support this version of the protocol, so if you cannot get the communication to work, you can try CTG Extended Protocol instead.
If your Stan S31 does not support ST analysis you can still choose the Stan protocol if your CMS supports it, although the options are named Stan Protocol for CTG and Stan Protocol R1A for CTG instead.
