CL Transducer Assignment
The CL transducers are assigned by simply docking them at the Avalon CL base station connected to
the patient’s fetal monitor.
Since twins and triplets can be monitored with the Avalon CL base station, it can be delivered with up
to six CL transducers: one CL Toco
+
MP, three CL US, and two CL ECG/IUP transducers. Up to
four CL transducer can be assigned at one time to the Avalon CL base station. Four assigned
CL transducers enable monitoring combinations such as 1 CL Toco
+
MP transducer + 3 CL US
transducers for monitoring triplets externally, or 1 CL Toco
+
MP transducer + 2 CL US transducer +
1 CL ECG/IUP transducer for monitoring twins.
Three CL transducers can be docked and charged at the Avalon CL base station at a time. If a fourth
transducer should be assigned to the Avalon CL base station:
1 Remove first the three docked CL transducers from the base station and place them on the patient.
2 Then dock the remaining fourth transducer at the base station and wait until the LED of the
fourth transducer signals that it has communication with the base station.
3 Place the fourth CL transducer on the patient and check on the fetal monitor in the Tele Info
window if the base station and the monitor have communication with all four transducers, and if
their numerics are displayed on the screen of the fetal monitor.
CL Transducer Unassignment
The cableless transducer needs to be unassigned:
• before being used with another base station on another patient
• to allow cleaning before docking it back onto the base station (e.g. to replace it with a fully charged
transducer of the same type)
There are three methods to do this:
1 Open the setup menu of the measurement e.g. FHR1 by selecting the numeric on the screen.
2 Select Remove from the open setup menu.
3 A confirmation window opens with the prompt Please Confirm and Device will be removed.
4 Select the Confirm pop-up key. A message confirms cl US has been removed.
or
1 Open the Tele Info window.
2 Select the symbol of the cableless transducer you want to unassign, and select Remove from the
pop-up menu.
3 A confirmation window opens with the prompt Please Confirm and Device will be removed.
4 Select Confirm the pop-up key. A message confirms cl US has been removed.
or
1 Redock the CL transducer at the base station.
2 Switch the base station to stand-by.
3 Remove the CL transducer; it is now unassigned.
