Description

FM-2 is a fetal monitor for non invasively measuring, and showing maternal uterine contractions and the fetal heart rate as a graphic display, and optionally on a strip chart recorder, printer or OB TraceVue system. The data is intended to aid in assessing the well being of the fetus during the final trimester of pregnancy non- stress test (NST).

This portable fetal monitor offers a solution for antepartum screening in the private doctor’s office, outpatient clinics, and for remote applications such as traveling nurses visiting patient’s homes, or for clinics in rural areas seeking remote consultation.

It is intended for use only by trained medical personnel located in hospitals, clinics, doctor’s offices and in the patient’s home or during transport under the direction of a licensed practitioner.
