What's New in Release J.3
Avalon CL Transducer System
The Avalon CL Transducer System provides cableless monitoring with the Avalon FM20/FM30 and
FM40/FM50 with the same functionality and performance as the wired measurement devices (e.g.
twin and triplets monitoring). The Avalon CL Transducer System has a straight-forward handling and
operating concept. The CL transducers are assigned by simply docking them at the CL base station, no
further configuration is necessary.
The Avalon CL Transducer System includes the following features:
• Cableless monitoring of twins and triplets (see “Monitoring Twin FHRs” on page 183 and
“Monitoring Triple FHRs” on page 191)
• Cableless maternal measurement Pods CL SpO
2
and CL NBP (see “IntelliVue CL Pods” on
page 92)
• Maternal pulse from a CL Toco
+
MP (Smart Pulse) transducer (see “Monitoring Maternal Heart /
Pulse Rate” on page 221)
• A cableless ECG/IUP transducer measuring IUP or fetal/maternal ECG (see “Monitoring
MECG Wave” on page 225 and “Monitoring FHR Using DECG” on page 199)
• Watertight cableless transducers that can be used to monitor in water (see “Underwater
Monitoring” on page 108)
• Patient call that pages an ambulating mother with an audible signal emitted by the worn CL
transducers (see “Calling Patients” on page 93)
• Out-of-range audible signal emitted by the worn CL transducers to inform an ambulating mother
that she has reached the limit of the active signal area-of-reach (see “Standard Radio Range of CL
Transducers” on page 87)
• A transducer finder LED on all CL transducers to help identify the assigned transducer (see
“Cableless Transducer LED Indication” on page 86)
Support For Use of Maternal Cableless Measurement Devices
The IntelliVue CL measurement Pods are patient-worn, battery-powered measurement devices for
SpO
2
and NBP. The devices provide measurement values on the built-in display and communicate
them to the fetal monitor using the wireless short range radio (SRR) interface of the Avalon CL base
station (see “IntelliVue CL Pods” on page 92).
Maternal Temperature Measurement
To measure maternal temperature, the new optional tympanic thermometer (866149) is available for
the Avalon fetal monitors (“Monitoring Maternal Temperature” on page 249). The measurement data
is:
• documented and printed out at the local recorder, and transmitted to the obstetrical information
and surveillance system.
• displayed as a numeric on the screen.
