Philips Avalon FM50 M2705a

Philips Avalon FM50 Features

The Avalon FM50 fetal monitor also offers an extensive set of external and internal fetal parameters, such as ultrasound, direct fetal heart rate, toco and intrauterine pressure, as well as maternal blood pressure, pulse rate, ECG, and SpO2. View maternal and fetal ECG waves on the large, colorful display. And if they can monitor triplets, imagine what else the Philips Avalon FM40 and FM50 fetal monitors can do for you.

Based on the legendary IntelliVue platform, the advanced Avalon FM40 and FM50 are simply smart enough to provide all the information you need to care for your patients:

• Crisp and clear intuitive color touchscreen with large numerics and graphics
• Remote display option, including touchscreen capability, for added convenience and safety
• Backup memory for seamless monitoring
• LAN interface for compatibility with hospital IT networks and access to additional system capabilities
• Smart transducers with auto-recognition simplify operation
• Transducer plug and play with automatic screen layout to focus on the patient, not the system
• Data buffer with multi-patient handling for random printout
• Cross-channel verification of maternal and fetal heart rates
