Edan F6 Express Fetal Monitor - EDN-F6Express
Data saved on the USB is encrypted. Users cannot simply see the vitals on a computer without the proper software. CMS/CMS-Lite software is required for viewing live to capture that data as a PDF. Alternatively an installed printer can be used to view results. Printers MUST be added to a monitor order at the time of purchase. Otherwise a $195 labor fee plus the cost of the printer will be added. Please select the with printer option at checkout or contact MFI directly before purchasing to make sure your order includes a printer.
The F6 Express Fetal Monitor (#F6Express) is a high end hospital grade monitor designed for multi-bed units with a central station, yet is simple enough for private practice. It offers the most advanced integrated monitoring for the delivery room in big hospital, private obstetrician's office, or antepartum clinic.
The F6 Express is intended for monitoring physiological parameters of pregnant women during antepartum examination, labor, and delivery. It provides non-stressful testing and fetal monitoring for pregnant women from the 28th week of gestation on, along with maternal vital signs monitoring.
