PUREtrace is designed to keep mother and child safe

Fetal monitoring relies on sensors to measure uterine activity and fetal heart rate. The quality and safety of the existing sensors are under discussion worldwide. Nemo Healthcare’s PUREtrace provides a safe and patient-friendly alternative for measuring uterine activity, without the need of changing the existing fetal monitoring infrastructure. When muscle cells contract, small changes occur in the electrical potential across the cell walls. During contractions, the electrical activity of the uterine muscle can be measured on the maternal abdomen. Nemo Healthcare’s Graphium electrode patch is applied to the abdomen and records this electrical activity noninvasively. The PUREtrace module amplifi es and converts these signals to a recognized measurement method for uterine activity, as commonly used in fetal monitoring. PUREtrace is compatible with a wide range of fetal monitors.
