When you’re responsible for fetal heart rate monitoring, uterine activity monitoring, and maternal vital signs, you need equipment that keeps pace with real clinical work. At Auxo Medical, we support providers across the pregnancy continuum with fetal monitoring equipment that’s built for fast setup, clear tracing, and dependable performance in the moments that matter.

Whether you’re running a busy labor and delivery unit, supporting an antepartum clinic, or completing routine checks in an OB/GYN office, our fetal monitors help you capture the information clinicians rely on every day, including FHR, TOCO, and (on select systems) maternal parameters and internal monitoring options.

What a fetal monitor does (and why it matters)

A fetal monitor—often called an electronic fetal monitor or cardiotocography system—typically combines fetal heart rate monitoring with uterine activity monitoring. In practice, this supports workflows like non-stress tests, triage checks, and intrapartum monitoring where teams need a reliable tracing to guide care decisions. Depending on the model and configuration, fetal monitoring can also incorporate maternal vitals and advanced channels for higher-acuity settings.

Who benefits from our fetal monitors and fetal dopplers

• Hospitals and health systems supporting labor and delivery, postpartum, and women’s services
• Birthing centers that want capable monitoring without overcomplicating the room
• OB/GYN clinics performing non-stress tests and routine fetal assessments
• Maternal-fetal medicine and high-risk pregnancy programs that need robust monitoring options
• Antepartum clinics managing scheduled testing and quick turnarounds
• Midwifery practices and community-based prenatal care programs
• Multi-specialty practices that want fetal dopplers that can also support select vascular screening needs

Featured fetal monitors and dopplers we offer

Luxury Trolley for F series Fetal Monitors
A practical add-on for facilities that want a clean, mobile mounting solution for compatible fetal monitors. If you’re optimizing room turnover, minimizing cable clutter, or standardizing how monitors move between rooms, a dedicated trolley can make a noticeable difference.

How to choose the right fetal monitoring equipment for your workflow

• If you’re focused on non-stress tests in an OB/GYN clinic: Look for a fetal monitor that supports fast transducer placement, clear tracing, and easy documentation. The GE Corometrics 171 Series and GE/Corometrics 172 Twins are common fits for these environments, and Fetalgard Lite can be a strong option when you want flexible deployment across clinic-style settings.
• If you need intrapartum monitoring in a labor and delivery unit: Prioritize fetal and maternal monitoring capabilities, clear signal quality feedback, and dependable uterine activity monitoring. Philips 50XM M1350B, GE Corometrics 120, and GE Corometrics 129 are frequently considered for these higher-demand clinical workflows.
• If you support twins monitoring: Choose a platform built for dual FHR channels and clear differentiation. Several of the monitors above are designed with twins workflows in mind, including GE/Corometrics 172 Twins and models like Edan F9 Express and Edan F6 Twins.
• If you want a fast, portable way to spot-check FHR: A fetal doppler may be the right tool for quick assessments and rounding. Consider the Edan SD5 & SD6 tabletop doppler for exam-room convenience or the Edan Sonotrax Series fetal dopplers for pocket portability.

New and refurbished fetal monitors: getting the performance you need at the budget you have

Many facilities choose refurbished fetal monitors to standardize rooms, expand monitoring capacity, or replace aging equipment while protecting capital budgets. Others prefer new systems when aligning with a specific clinical standard, technology roadmap, or procurement strategy. Either way, our goal is simple: help you match the right fetal monitor to your patient volume, staffing patterns, and documentation expectations—without overselling features you won’t use.

Fetal monitoring FAQs

What’s the difference between a fetal monitor and a fetal doppler?
A fetal doppler is typically used for quick fetal heart rate checks. A fetal monitor is designed for continuous tracing and usually includes uterine activity monitoring and documentation features used during non-stress tests and labor monitoring.

Do I need twins capability?
If you routinely monitor twin pregnancies, twins capability can prevent workarounds and help standardize your protocols. Even if twins are not your daily case mix, choosing a monitor with twins flexibility can future-proof your clinic or unit.

What should I prioritize for NST workflows?
For non-stress tests, teams often prioritize fast setup, clear tracings, reliable alarm behavior, and efficient printing or exam storage. Your best fit will depend on patient volume and how your clinicians document and review strips.

Can fetal monitors support maternal vital signs?
Some fetal monitors include maternal parameters and can support workflows where maternal vital signs monitoring is needed alongside fetal monitoring. If your workflow demands that combination, it’s worth choosing a system designed for both.
