Description
The Corometrics 115 Fetal Monitor, designed by GE Healthcare, is a compact and reliable solution for monitoring fetal well-being during labor and delivery. This user-friendly monitor offers essential features to support clinicians in providing optimal care for expectant mothers and their babies. Let’s explore the key features and benefits of the Corometrics 115 Fetal Monitor:
Features:
- Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring: Provides continuous monitoring of fetal heart rate (FHR) using Doppler ultrasound technology, enabling clinicians to assess fetal well-being and detect any signs of distress.
- Uterine Activity Monitoring: Monitors uterine contractions (UC) to evaluate the progress of labor and assess the effectiveness of contractions in promoting cervical dilation and fetal descent.
- Clear Display Screen: Features a clear and easy-to-read display screen that presents fetal heart rate tracings and uterine activity measurements, facilitating quick and accurate interpretation by clinicians.
- Audio and Visual Alarms: Offers audible and visual alarms to alert clinicians to abnormal fetal heart rate patterns or uterine contractions, enabling timely intervention to address any concerns.
- Compact and Lightweight Design: Designed for portability, the Corometrics 115 Fetal Monitor is compact and lightweight, making it easy to move between patient rooms or for use during patient transport.
- Battery Operation: Equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring even in environments where access to electrical outlets may be limited.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Patient Safety: Continuous monitoring of fetal heart rate and uterine contractions helps ensure the timely detection of any changes in fetal well-being, allowing for prompt intervention to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes.
- User-Friendly Operation: The Corometrics 115 Fetal Monitor features intuitive controls and a simple interface, making it easy for clinicians to set up and operate the monitor with minimal training.
- Portability and Versatility: Its compact size and lightweight design make the Corometrics 115 Fetal Monitor ideal for use in various clinical settings, including labor and delivery rooms, antepartum units, and birthing centers.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Designed to offer essential fetal monitoring capabilities at an affordable price point, the Corometrics 115 Fetal Monitor provides excellent value for healthcare facilities of all sizes.
- Reliable Performance: Built by GE Healthcare, a trusted leader in medical technology, the Corometrics 115 Fetal Monitor delivers reliable performance and accuracy, ensuring confidence in monitoring fetal well-being during labor and delivery.
