A Highly Recommended Used Fetal Monitor
Brand new fetal monitors can carry a very high price tag, which often keeps obstetrics units from buying the latest equipment. However, buying a pre-owned fetal monitor online, from a well-respected and reputable used medical equipment company can deliver substantial savings. Used fetal monitors are available in every price range.
Look for this popular model online.
A good example of a popular fetal monitor is the Corometrics 171 Series, which is designed to help physicians monitor patients at the doctor’s office. It features an easy-to-read LED display, allowing for quick confirmation of the fetal heart rate and activity. Using 9-Crystal Pulsed Doppler technology, which provides a wider profile for detecting the fetal heart rate, this monitor is available in both single (171) and twin (172) models.
For physicians looking to purchase a gently used fetal monitor, the Corometrics line is usually available at decent prices, and can often be sold with an extended manufacturers’ warranty.
Additional Features of the Corometrics Fetal Monitors
The 171 and 172 models offer an optional interface with the Model 146 Fetal Acoustic Stimulator, and include standard z-fold paper.
The twins monitor offers a few distinct features, such as an offset that separates heart rates to be sure the same fetus is not being monitored twice and independent volume controls.
Additional features include fetal high/low threshold alarms, a fetal movement direction option, two standard interfaces for CIS and NIBP, and a 1-year warranty from GE Medical (when bought new).
The 170 Series Monitors are the newest edition to the Corometrics family. These sleek, lightweight and compact machines maintain the same high level of reliability and quality that has been the hallmark of the fetal monitor. These easy maintenance models use intuitively designed transducers that keep patients comfortable during monitoring.
