E. Absent variability with no periodic changes may suggest a non-reassuring pattern but is not categorized as a category 3 strip unless other signs of fetal distress are present.

F. Bradycardia with absent variability is another critical pattern, indicating poor fetal oxygenation and requiring intervention, categorizing it as a category 3 strip.
