Carefusion 7000AAO - Spiral Electrodes Fetal Scalp Electrode for Intrauterine Monitoring
The Carefusion 7000AAO Spiral Electrodes are sterile, single-use fetal scalp electrodes designed to provide accurate, real-time intrauterine fetal heart rate monitoring during labor and delivery. These spiral-tip electrodes are applied directly to the fetal scalp through the cervix, enabling continuous internal ECG monitoring when external methods are insufficient or unreliableespecially in high-risk or prolonged labor cases.
Engineered for precision and safety, the 7000AAO spiral electrodes deliver clear, consistent signals by bypassing interference from maternal or environmental factors, supporting better clinical decisions during childbirth.

Key Benefits
Continuous and Accurate Monitoring: Provides direct ECG measurement from the fetus, improving heart rate trace reliability.
Sterile and Single-Use: Reduces infection risk and supports hospital infection control protocols.
Spiral Tip Design: Ensures secure attachment to fetal scalp with minimal trauma, even during active labor.
Flexible Lead Wires: Designed for freedom of maternal movement and ease of connection to fetal monitors.
Clinically Trusted: Used in hospitals and birthing centers worldwide for safe, high-quality fetal surveillance.
Compatibility and Applications
These electrodes are compatible with most standard fetal monitoring systems (including Carefusion and third-party monitors with adapter cables, if needed). Ideal for use in:
Labor and delivery units
High-risk pregnancy cases
Situations where external monitoring is inadequate (e.g., maternal obesity, excessive fetal movement, or twins)
Usage Guidelines
Insert the electrode per protocol using the provided applicator during a vaginal exam once membranes have ruptured.
Secure the spiral electrode to the fetal presenting part (typically the scalp).
Connect the lead wire to the fetal monitor and confirm signal acquisition.
Monitor fetal heart rate continuously throughout labor.
Remove electrode post-delivery, following standard postnatal procedures.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
FDA Cleared for intrauterine fetal ECG monitoring
CE Marked for European compliance
ISO 13485 Certified manufacturing ensures consistent quality
Compliant with ACOG and AWHONN recommendations for fetal monitoring practices
These certifications confirm that the 7000AAO spiral electrodes meet rigorous safety and performance standards.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to surface or Doppler-based external monitors, the Carefusion 7000AAO offers greater signal clarity, especially in cases with maternal movement or obesity. Unlike lower-grade electrodes, it features a secure, trauma-minimizing spiral tip and high-fidelity lead wire shielding, reducing signal dropouts during labor.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Used by:
Obstetricians and labor & delivery nurses
Midwives and birthing center staff
Maternal-fetal medicine specialists
Application scenarios include:
Continuous fetal monitoring in high-risk pregnancies
Labors requiring oxytocin or epidural use
Non-reassuring fetal heart tones requiring internal tracing
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Use only after rupture of membranes and sufficient cervical dilation.
Ensure sterile technique during insertion to minimize infection risk.
Follow removal and postnatal care guidelines to prevent neonatal scalp trauma.
Discard after use in accordance with clinical biohazard disposal procedures.
Regulatory and Safety Information
The spiral electrodes meet all applicable obstetric safety standards and are supported by evidence-based practices in fetal monitoring. They are safe for both the mother and fetus when applied correctly and monitored appropriately.
