GE Corometrics 259cx Maternal/Fetal Monitor

The GE Corometrics 259cx is a high-performance system designed for comprehensive antepartum and intrapartum care. It provides advanced diagnostic tools in a user-friendly interface:

Maternal Monitoring Capabilities

• GE Smart BP: Optimizes diagnostic data by intelligently delaying blood pressure measurements during contractions using DINAMAP SuperSTAT technology.
• Essential Vitals: Includes NIBP, 3-lead MECG with pacemaker detection, and user-selectable pulse oximetry (Masimo SET or Nellcor).
• Optional Add-ons: Supports integration for Exergen temporal arterial thermometers.

Fetal and Uterine Monitoring

• Fetal Tracking: Supports Dual Ultrasound (US) for fetal heart rate and Internal Fetal ECG (FECG).
• Uterine Activity: Precision monitoring via Toco/IUPC.
• Data Verification: Features Heart Beat Coincidence Recognition to distinguish between fetal and maternal heart rate signals, ensuring reliable data accuracy during labor.

Clinical Efficiency Tools

• ChartLight: Integrated lighting for low-light environments.
• Workflow Optimization: Features one-touch hot keys and an 8-hour maternal vital sign history stored in a flowchart summary format.

The GE-exclusive Smart BP feature is designed to significantly enhance maternal comfort while improving diagnostic reliability during labor.

It achieves this by intelligently managing Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) measurements:

• Contraction Detection: The system automatically detects uterine contractions.
• Measurement Delay: It delays the NIBP cuff inflation until the contraction has passed.
• Maximizing Comfort: This prevents the distraction and discomfort associated with the cuff inflating during the most active and stressful phase of labor, ensuring the patient remains relaxed.
• Reliable Data: Delaying measurement ensures the captured blood pressure data is more clinically meaningful and reliable.

Yes, the GE Corometrics 259cx monitor includes essential safety features. It is equipped with fetal heart rate high/low alarms that are delivered as both audible and visual alerts, ensuring clinical staff are immediately notified of significant changes.

Yes, the GE Corometrics 259cx includes Heart Beat Coincidence Recognition as a critical safety feature.

This mechanism helps ensure data accuracy and integrity when simultaneously monitoring multiple heart rates (maternal and fetal) by:

• Comparing up to three heart rates at once.
• Providing visual indicators if the system detects synchronous signals on different channels (meaning two sensors are picking up the same heartbeat).
• Allowing clinicians to confirm that they are tracking unique and distinct heart rates, preventing potential misinterpretation of vital signs.

When purchasing a Factory New GE Corometrics 259cx, you receive a professional-grade maternal/fetal monitoring system designed for immediate use in clinical environments. The package includes the following:

• GE Corometrics 259cx Base Monitor: A comprehensive unit featuring a user-friendly interface with ChartLight and one-touch hot keys for efficient operation.
• Standard Power Components: All necessary region-specific power cables for immediate setup.
• Documentation: Official manufacturer documentation for installation and operation.

Please note the following regarding your purchase:

• Transducers and Sensors: In accordance with standard factory-new configurations, patient-specific accessories—such as ultrasound transducers, TOCO/IUPC probes, NIBP cuffs, and SpO2 sensors—are typically sold separately to allow facilities to choose the specific sensor types that match their existing clinical inventory.
• Expandability: The monitor is highly versatile, supporting advanced optional features such as temporal arterial thermometers and seamless integration with Centricity Perinatal (CPN) archiving software, which can be configured based on your facility’s specific requirements.

The GE Corometrics 259cx offers flexible maternal monitoring options that can be configured to support both temperature and oxygen saturation readings:

• Maternal SpO2: The system supports integrated pulse oximetry, with options available for either Masimo SET or Nellcor technology.
• Maternal Temperature: The unit allows for optional integration with Exergen temporal arterial thermometers for non-invasive temperature monitoring.

In addition to these options, the monitor comes standard with DINAMAP SuperSTAT non-invasive blood pressure technology and 3-lead maternal ECG. It also features GE-Exclusive Smart BP, an intelligent tool that automatically delays blood pressure measurements during uterine contractions to minimize patient distraction and ensure more accurate diagnostic data.

Yes, the GE Corometrics 259cx is equipped with the ChartLight feature, which is designed to optimize visibility and usability in low-light clinical settings.

ChartLight includes:

• A dimmable color display to reduce ambient brightness.
• Backlit keys that make it easier to operate controls in the dark.

These features, alongside one-touch hot keys, help minimize monitor interactions, allowing caregivers to maximize the time spent directly with the patient.

Yes, the monitor conveniently documents up to eight hours of maternal parameters in an easy-to-read flowchart format, streamlining charting and future reference for healthcare providers.

Yes, the GE Corometrics 259cx is designed with a telemetry interface that supports continuous monitoring even while a patient is ambulating or during water labor.

Yes, the GE Corometrics 259cx Maternal/Fetal Monitor includes a Song Player that offers a choice of three different songs.
