The Fetal Health Surveillance Tracing Tool is a specialized tool designed to help healthcare providers analyze fetal monitoring data more efficiently during labor. For use with with Continuous Electronic Fetal Monitoring (CEFM) systems, this rigid, easy-to-use tool aligns with the tracing paper that records fetal heart rate and uterine contractions over time. Available in lengths matching the tracing speed (e.g. 30 cm for 3 cm/min tracing), the tool represents a 10-minute interval, enabling providers to assess fetal well-being quickly without manually counting grid squares. Graduated marks along the gauge highlight each 10-second and 1-minute interval, allowing for fast, precise time-based analysis of fetal and uterine activity.
The use of this tool greatly assists health care professionals in analyzing the tracings: rather than spending time counting boxes on the tracing paper, they can spend their time actually reading decels to assess baby and mother.
