The Monica AN24 is an innovative, wearable device that accurately monitors FHR, MHR1, UA and maternal activity, offering an alternative wireless ambulatory monitoring solution for induction, obesity, L&D and patient satisfaction.
Unique Technology
- Uses abdominal ECG electrodes to monitor the fetal ECG, maternal ECG and uterine EMG1
- A powerful internal processor extracts in real time the FHR, MHR and UA waveform
Accurate
- Monitors the maternal and fetal ECG shape to confidently provide the fetal heart rate, even when fetal and maternal heart rates are similar
- Uterine contractions are closer in accuracy to IUPC than TOCO
- Improves uterine contraction detection without the risk associated with IUPC
Able to monitor obese women
- Detection of abdominal fetal ECG and uterine EMG1 signals are minimally affected by BMI
Ambulation without transducer repositioning
- Monica is a single set up device that requires no adjustment or repositioning no matter what the fetus or patient does
- Midwives spend less time adjusting the equipment
- Allows ambulation during induction and labour to encourage delivery, reduce pain and interventions
Patient-friendly and convenient
- No belts (meaning no pressure or belt irritation)
- Freedom for natural birthing positions
- Increase space around the bed for clinicians and birthing partners
- Enhances the birthing experience
- Offers a genuine alternative to the L&D room for post induction monitoring
Seamless integration and familiarity
Data is sent wirelessly, via Bluetooth, from the Monica AN24, worn by the pregnant women, to the Monica IF24 accessory. The IF24, plugs directly into the front panel DECG and TOCO inputs on the installed CTG3. This allows the printing of the FHR and UA traces, and central station connectivity, as if you are using conventional transducers, reducing the learning and training period normally associated with the introduction of new equipment
