GE Corometrics 250cx Series

2-6 250cx Series Maternal/Fetal Monitor Revision C
2036946-001
Introduction: Series Overview
 Alarm conditions have both audible and visual indications. Only fetal audible alarms
can be disabled. Fetal heart rate threshold and signal quality alarms can be cancelled.
 Optional Spectra Alerts™ simultaneously analyzes FHR and UA information
and notifies clinicians of deviations from the norm.
Maternal Parameters (259cx only)
 Built-in maternal vital signs monitoring eliminates the need for separate blood
pressure and maternal pulse oximetry monitors.
 Maternal vital signs storage provides an 8-hour history of the maternal vital
signs in a spreadsheet format. The data can be displayed or printed on-demand.
 A maternal-only recording mode is specifically designed for postpartum
monitoring of the mother.
 The monitor can be interfaced to the most widely used non-invasive blood
pressure monitors and pulse oximeters.
 Maternal non-invasive blood pressure readings can be taken on-demand or at
pre-programmed intervals. The use of unique, patented DINAMAP
®
SuperSTAT blood pressure technology provides blood pressure accuracy and
faster, automated readings.
 Smart BP option prevents blood pressure readings from occurring during
contractions.
 Continuous non-invasive MSpO
2
oxygen saturation and maternal pulse rate can
be reliably monitored using well-known user-preferred pulse oximetry brands.
Masimo SET, Nellcor OxiMax, or Ohmeda TruSignal MSpO
2
may be selected
at the time of purchase or changed later as determined by hospital needs.
 The MSpO
2
pulsatile waveform can be optionally displayed and can be
“frozen” on the screen for review. In addition, a 6-second “snapshot” can be
printed on the strip chart paper.
 Continuous display/printing of the maternal pulse rate trend can be enabled.
 The MECG waveform can be optionally displayed and can be “frozen” on the
screen for review. In addition, a 6-second snapshot can be printed on the strip
chart paper.
 Built-in independent MECG monitoring is provided with selection of lead I, II, or III.
 Selectable 3-lead maternal ECG with pacemaker detection and rejection
generates maternal heart rate, QRS waveform display and a 6-second snapshot
printout when requested.
 Twins and maternal monitoring can be accomplished simultaneously using dual
ultrasound and MECG, or by using ultrasound, FECG, and MECG.
 Maternal alarm limits are user-defined, with preset defaults; they are easily
configured via setup screens.
 Maternal alarm conditions have audible and visual indications, and can be
silenced for a user-specified time.
 Alarm silencing is controlled by a brightly colored, easily recognizable front
panel monitor button.
Adding Fetal Movement Detection and/or Spectra Alerts
The monitor can be upgraded to include Fetal Movement Detection and/or Spectra
Alerts. Contact your local sales representative for upgrade information.
