4Cableless Monitoring
Avalon CL Transducer System
The Avalon CL Fetal Transducer System lets you monitor the patient continuously with cableless
transducers during the antepartum period, labor, and delivery.
You can monitor the fetal heart rate (FHR):
• Using noninvasive CL Ultrasound transducers
• Invasively, using the CL ECG/IUP transducer or CL Toco
+
MP transducer with a fetal scalp
electrode
• Noninvasively, with the CL F&M Pod
The uterine activity can be monitored using:
• Externally, using the CL Toco
+
MP transducer
• Externally, using the CL F&M Pod
• Invasively, using the CL ECG/IUP transducer or CL Toco
+
MP with an IUP catheter
The fetal and maternal parameters are measured and transmitted via radio frequency from the
CL transducers and CL Pods to the CL base station, eliminating the need for patient cables. With the
Avalon CL Transducer System, you can monitor a single fetus, twins, and triplets.
The Avalon fetal monitor (FM20-FM50) connected to the CL base station displays and records the
parameters. All the CL transducers and the CL F&M Pod are watertight. The IntelliVue CL Pods
should not be immersed in water. You can continuously monitor patients in a bath or shower using the
CL Toco
+
MP and the CL Ultrasound transducers, the CL F&M Pod should not be used during a bath.
