Function of the Marker (Event Marker Button)

Purpose:
During fetal monitoring, healthcare providers manually press the marker (typically a handheld button or panel key) to annotate specific events (e.g., onset of contractions, fetal movement, medication administration) on the monitoring strip for post-analysis.

Types of Markings (varies by model configuration):

1. Fetal Movement (FM) Mark – Indicates perceived fetal kicks.

2. Contraction Mark – Manually logged when uterine contractions begin.

3. Custom Events – User-defined annotations (e.g., medication given, maternal position change).
