Philips obstetrical technology
In sight. In sync. In touch.
Obstetrical care is dependent on data, but the vital connection between clinicians and patients should be the focus – not the technology. Your perinatal solution should be an unobtrusive yet easily accessible network that simplifies workflow, supports effective communication among the care team, and integrates obstetrical information with your electronic medical record (EMR). The result? You spend more time with expectant mothers and less time documenting care. Philips obstetrical care solution uses the power of our exclusive digital technology to feed fetal and maternal ECG, heart rate, and uterine contraction data from transducers and electrodes to Avalon FM monitors, and then automatically to IntelliSpace Perinatal for surveillance, alerting and archiving. IntelliSpace Perinatal then connects with your EMR for documentation.

Mobility solutions for patients — and caregivers
With the Avalon fetal monitoring Using the Avalon Wide-Range Pod on the hospital’s wireless network, IntelliSpace Perinatal can tell you where the patient is located by reporting the last known wireless access point the device was connected to. Users can name access points such as “break room” or “family room” within the system and these locations will appear on both the single trace as well as in the overview screen. Our Avalon beltless solution uses electrodes instead of ultrasound to measure fetal heart, maternal heart rate, and uterine contractions so women with a high BMI can be monitored and also move around during labor.
Remote viewing and control
With Philips OB solution, you can stay in touch with your patients – and in control of their care virtually anywhere and at any time. Our solution provides a direct window into the Avalon FM display, so you have a clear view of maternal and fetal heart rate, ECG, and other vital signs. Plus, you can control settings, check battery levels, and more – all right from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. On-the-go care teams have easy access to the information they need to work together while IntelliSpace Perinatal works in the background to document the delivery of quality patient care.
Backup buffer safeguards data
Avalon monitors feature backup buffers that store a minimum of seven hours of data. If there is an interruption in information flow, cached data is transmitted via a secure LAN to your IntelliSpace Perinatal, and then on to your EMR, when the connection is restored.
