HP is bought over by Philips and latest fetal monitors from Philips are Avalon series with triplets monitoring capability. The Avalon fetal monitors can be configured with the wireless transducers M2725A, M2726A or with cable transducers model M2734A, M2735A and M2736A. Avalon series fetal monitors are excellent but the cost of transducers is in the range of $1400 and hence it is not economical from service point of view. We have been using following transducer models.

If quality stuff is used, damages due to such incidents are not that significant compared to a poor quality product. It is unfair (of sales people from some service companies) to keep blaming the end users (nursing staff), neglecting their repeated appeals about poor performance and continuing to procure the services of the cheapest vendors, taking their word for granted. It is in our interest to train the end users in proper and safe handling. Working hand in hand with the L & D staff not only improves overall quality but is also a pleasure.
