2 What's New

Increased Internal Back-up Memory
The internal back-up memory is now able to store traces and data from at least the last 3.5 hours with
the software revision J.3, and minimum 7 hours with the new mainboard hardware revision A 00.18
(see “Manually Recording Stored Data” on page 258 and “Recovering Data” on page 257).
Dual System Interface Support
If the fetal monitor is connected via a LAN connection to OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal, the
RS232 interface can be used independently to connect e.g. an EMR system on read-only basis. The
system connected to the RS232 interface in this case cannot alter any data (such as ADT data, or the
date and time setting), or interfere with functions of the monitor, but is able to read output data. The
obstetrical information and surveillance system connected via LAN has priority.
USB Interface
An optional USB interface allows the use of bar code readers and input devices such as a keyboard, or
mouse (see “Getting to Know Your Avalon FM20/FM30”/“Bottom” on page 32 and “Getting to
Know Your Avalon FM40/FM50”/“Rear” on page 33).
Flexible Nurse Call Interface
An optional Flexible Nurse Call interface allows the connection of a nurse call device to the fetal
monitors (see “Getting to Know Your Avalon FM20/FM30”/“Bottom” on page 32 and “Getting to
Know Your Avalon FM40/FM50”/“Rear” on page 33).
DHCP Support
The DHCP support offers an alternative to BOOTP. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
enables the fetal monitors to request an IP address (internet protocol address) from the connected
network (OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal) automatically.
Data Export Support
You can now export measurement values from the monitor to other devices via the LAN interface, or
with the optional MIB RS232 interface (see “Getting to Know Your Avalon FM20/FM30”/“Bottom”
on page 32 and “Getting to Know Your Avalon FM40/FM50”/“Rear” on page 33).
NBP Configurable Measurement Sequence
Up to four measurement cycles can be set up which will run consecutively. For each cycle, you can set
the number of measurements and the interval between them. By setting the last cycle to run
continuously, you can have regular measurements continue after the sequence has run (see “Enabling
Sequence Mode and Setting Up the Sequence” on page 240.
Alarms Enhancements
In addition to the standard cyan INOPs, some INOPs can now be configured as red or yellow INOPs
to provide a severity indication (
ECG Leads Off, Cuff Overpress, Cuff NotDeflated, Battery Empty, No
Pulse
) (see “Alarms” on page 117).
