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 nonstress 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 i n the p a tie n t ’s home or du r ing transport
under the direction of a licensed practitioner.
Alerting
connected continuously to the FM-2 monitor.
The FHR alarming has configurable upper, lower
and delay time alarm limits. Enabled alerts are both
visible and audible. Alerting can be switched off.
Transducers
It uses the same transducers originally designed fo r
high acuity care settings. Reliable, durable, water
tight, and easy to clean they inte rface to a ll Series 50
fetal monitors.
Chart-Ready Documentation Using a Printer
Connects to an HP DeskJet printer, u sing standard
printer paper. This gives an economical, chart-ready
printout that can be stored in the patient re cord. It
can be faxed easily for remote consultations. See the
Printer Specifications for a list of suppo rted printers .
Interface to OB TraceVue Surveillance and
Alerting System
The monitor can transmit patient data vi a a mod em
to an OB TraceVue sys tem. It can also connect
directly to an OB TraceVue system for realtime,
online monitoring.
Monitor Connectors and Interfaces
• RS232 serial port (9pin male) for modem, PC,
cellular phone.
• Standard parallel printer port for connecting
printer or recorder.
• Connector for remote event marker cable.
• 3 transducer sockets (2 US, 1 Toco).
• Power inlet for power supply.
Self Test
The monitor automatically performs a self test when
the power is switched on.
Mounting
The monitor can be mounted on a wallstand or a
rollstand.
Interface to PC

Traditional Documentation Using the
Recorder
Y ou can share the optional external recorder between
several FM-2 monitors, to document stored fetal
traces as traditional paper documentation. Also, the
recorder has a real- time fetal trace ou tput when
It acts as a receiver and electronic storage medium. It
accepts fetal traces downloaded from the monitor,
either directly, or via a modem. It also offers the
possibility to browse, annotate and print complete,
or partial patient records. Data can be stored
electronically on the PC or other st orage media.
