Corometrics 259cx Maternal and Fetal Monitor: Precision and Comfort for Optimal Monitoring
The GE Healthcare Corometrics 259cx is a next-generation maternal and fetal monitor that combines advanced technology with ergonomic design to optimize patient care in labor and delivery settings. Developed with over 40 years of expertise in fetal monitoring, it integrates innovative technologies to ensure reliable data and improve the patient experience.
One of the key strengths of the Corometrics 259cx is its wireless Monica Novii patch system, which enables comfortable and precise monitoring without the need for traditional belts. This next-generation device uses surface electrodes placed on the mother's abdomen to accurately measure fetal and maternal heart rates as well as uterine activity. This approach significantly reduces patient discomfort while ensuring rigorous medical supervision.
The Corometrics 259cx is also equipped with a 9-crystal ultrasound transducer, an innovation that provides more uniform coverage and improves signal quality, especially in complex clinical situations (obese patients, twin pregnancies, preterm cases). This advanced probe minimizes the need for sensor repositioning and optimizes fetal signal detection.
The SMART BP™ function of the Corometrics 259cx optimizes maternal blood pressure measurement by delaying readings during contractions, reducing discomfort, and providing more relevant values. Additionally, the DINAMAP SuperSTAT technology speeds up non-invasive blood pressure measurement by 66%, minimizing cuff compression time.
In terms of workflow, the Corometrics 259cx is designed to simplify the user experience for healthcare professionals. It records up to eight hours of maternal vital signs, with a summary table display for quick analysis. Its intuitive interface features quick-access buttons, allowing clinicians to instantly activate essential functions.
Another noteworthy feature of the Corometrics 259cx is the heartbeat coincidence detection function, which issues a visual and audible alert when maternal and fetal heart rates are too similar, reducing the risk of misinterpretation. For twin pregnancies, the heart rate offset function helps differentiate the two fetuses' heartbeats more easily.
The device includes an integrated Exergen temporal thermometer, allowing real-time maternal temperature monitoring, which is directly recorded in perinatal information systems. It is also compatible with oxygenation monitoring technologies (GE Ohmeda, Masimo SET, Nellcor MSpO2).
Thanks to its compatibility with Centricity Perinatal and other clinical information systems, the Corometrics 259cx facilitates data archiving and analysis, offering a seamless integration within hospital environments. It can also be paired with an optional 15-inch Extend-A-View™ remote screen, allowing anesthesiologists to easily access the mother’s vital signs during epidural administration.
The GE Healthcare Corometrics 259cx is a highly efficient maternal and fetal monitor, combining clinical precision, patient comfort, and healthcare staff efficiency. It represents a comprehensive solution for monitoring pregnant women in delivery rooms, ensuring optimized care and an improved medical environment.
