Three measurements, one cableless transducer

The Avalon CL ECG/IUP Transducer (866077) is unique in the Avalon CL family because it handles three different measurements from a single device. With the appropriate lead set or catheter connected to its integrated patient cable, the same transducer captures maternal ECG for cardiac rhythm monitoring, direct fetal ECG (DECG) via a scalp electrode for the most reliable fetal heart rate signal available, and intrauterine pressure (IUP) via an internal catheter for precise uterine activity measurement. This consolidation reduces the number of transducers clinicians need to stock, charge, and track on the L&D floor.

Cableless mobility for labor and delivery

Freedom of movement during labor is linked to patient comfort, shorter labor times, and better overall experience. The 866077 eliminates the patient cable entirely — the transducer communicates wirelessly with the Avalon CL Base Station (866074) over Philips IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry at ranges up to 100 m (300 ft) in line of sight. Mothers can walk the halls, use a birthing ball, shower, or labor in a tub without losing the fetal or maternal trace. Because the transducer is watertight, underwater monitoring is explicitly supported for hydrotherapy and water birth protocols.

Works with the entire Avalon FM family

The 866077 is part of the Avalon CL system and requires the Avalon CL Base Station (866074). That base station in turn connects to any fetal sensor socket on the Philips Avalon FM20, FM30, FM40, or FM50 fetal monitor — or to the rear telemetry connectors on the FM40 and FM50. Avalon fetal monitor software release J.3 or higher is required. Up to four CL transducers and two IntelliVue CL Pods can be assigned to a single base station, which means a complete cableless kit can monitor twins or triplets plus maternal SpO2 and NBP simultaneously from one hub.

Automatic assignment and charging

Setup is plug-and-play: dock the 866077 in any slot on the base station and it is automatically assigned, paired, and recharged. A green or yellow LED on the transducer confirms when it is ready for use. The internal Lithium-Ion battery powers the device wirelessly throughout labor; charge status is reported to the fetal monitor, and low-battery, out-of-battery, loss-of-radio, and malfunction alarms are all built into the Avalon CL system so clinicians are alerted before the trace is interrupted.

Patient safety and construction

The 866077 is a Type CF applied part, meaning its patient connection is rated for direct cardiac application and is defibrillation-resistant — an important consideration given the maternal ECG and DECG use cases. The housing is latex-free and sealed at the factory; the transducer is not user-serviceable, and battery replacement requires the dedicated Philips CL transducer battery replacement tool used by authorized technicians. IPR Medical handles this service in-house on customer units.

Why clinicians choose the Avalon CL system

The Avalon CL family — base station (866074), Toco+ MP transducer (866075), ultrasound transducer (866076), and this ECG/IUP transducer (866077) — delivers the same monitoring performance as wired Smart Transducers without the cables. That means Smart Pulse cross-channel verification for distinguishing maternal from fetal heart rate, twins and triplets support, and the familiar Avalon interface clinicians already know. For facilities standardizing on Philips fetal monitoring, the 866077 is the internal-monitoring and maternal ECG workhorse of the cableless kit.

IPR Medical — sales, repairs, parts, and service

IPR Medical sells refurbished and patient-ready Philips Avalon CL transducers and base stations, and we buy surplus or decommissioned units from facilities upgrading their fetal monitoring fleet. Our service team performs battery replacements, housing seal service, front-end repair, and functional testing on the 866077 using Philips-specified procedures and test equipment. We also stock replacement belts, patient cables, DECG lead sets, IUP catheter adapters, and other consumables used with the Avalon CL system — so a single call covers the transducer, the accessories, and the service that keeps it running.
