The 8040A - Antepartum Monitoring

This device offers capabilities for measuring, recording, and transmitting data, facilitating careful monitoring of fetal development. The monitor utilizes ultrasound and ECG methods to monitor fetal heart rate and uterine activity, enabling healthcare professionals to obtain vital information for pregnancy management.

It uses an ultrasound transducer attached to the patient's abdomen to monitor uterine activity and fetal heart rate. Through this technology, the monitor captures fetal movements and analyzes echoes to calculate the heart rate. Uterine activity is detected by measuring abdominal tensions. Readings, including fetal ECG, fetal heart rate, and uterine activity, are printed on the printer mounted on the front of the device.

The HP 8040A can monitor both fetal and maternal heart rates using the ultrasound transducer for the fetus and ECG directly connected to the mother's chest. Both heart rates can be recorded and printed simultaneously. Additionally, it is possible to monitor intrauterine pressure using an optional pressure transducer, which is particularly useful when uterine membranes have ruptured.

The versatility of this monitor also allows for monitoring of twins, using a combination of ultrasound and ECG methods for each fetus. Precise monitoring and recording methods ensure safe management of high-risk pregnancies.
