The portable FC700 Cardiotocograph from GIMA is an economical and reliable device for monitoring fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine contractions (UC) during pregnancy. Using ultrasound waves emitted onto the abdomen, this tool detects the frequency of the Doppler signal, analyzes the data, and displays it via an LED display. Ideal for clinics and medical offices, the FC700 Cardiotocograph offers a comprehensive solution for prenatal monitoring.

Main Features of the FC700 Cardiotocograph

The FC700 Cardiotocograph is equipped with numerous advanced features that make it an indispensable tool for monitoring fetal health:

• Extremely sensitive Doppler: Frequency 1 MHz with high-precision probe for automatic and manual detection of fetal movements.


• Auto NST (non-stress test) function: Continuous monitoring from 10 minutes up to 1 hour.


• Print on A4 paper: Interpretation of the trace with pre-printed A4 paper or common thermal fax paper, with adjustable printing speed (1, 2, 3 cm/min).


• Ease of use: One-touch operation, easy setup, and alarm function for high-low FHR.


• Software upgrade via internet: Keep the device updated with the latest features.
