Novii Wireless Patch System Improved Maternal Fetal Monitoring

The Monica Novii Wireless Patch System provides the opportunity to enhance your current monitoring experience. It connects with your maternal/fetal monitor1 and the data flows seamlessly to your existing surveillance and archival system. Enhanced monitoring for difficult to monitor patients The Monica Novii monitors fetal heart rate, maternal heart rate and uterine activity, all with a single patch. It is an effective solution for monitoring high BMI patients (Ref 1, 2) and “We found Monica minimizes the risk of maternal/ fetal heart rate confusion (Ref 3, 4). In addition, the Patch to perform excellently requires no repositioning (Ref 4, 8) and the cable-free system in very obese women (35>BMI<60)” keeps the work environment clear and safe allowing for easier monitoring during some clinical procedures. Prof W Cohen, University of Arizona College of Medicine, Tucson USA Patient satisfaction The single-patient use Novii Patch is a completely belt-free, wireless solution. It allows for greater freedom of movement during labour and a more comfortable experience for the patient (Ref 7, 8).

Your Fetal Monitor The Novii System connects seamlessly with your monitor1. The Novii Pod, a small signal-processing and transmission device, connects effortlessly using magnets to the ‘peel and stick’ Novii Patch shown below. The Novii Pod communicates via Bluetooth – no cables – no belts – no transducers– with the Novii Interface display device shown on the left, which connects to your fetal monitor transducer inputs. Expanding maternal/fetal monitoring Monitoring High BMI Patients Picking up consistent, reliable fetal heart rate and uterine activity can be challenging on high BMI patients. Monica Novii monitors the electrical signals on the patient’s abdomen. The electrical signals are minimally effected by adipose tissue and therefore, the quality of the monitoring is not compromised by high BMI. Studies, recruiting women up to a BMI of 60, have shown minimal loss in FHR and UA performance as the BMI increases. (Ref 1, Ref 2). 1 Contact Monica Healthcare or their authorized representative for a full list

Accuracy Mobility and Freedom Monica Novii uses the abdominal fECG With no cables, belts or transducers and mECG wave shape to uniquely and no re-positioning, the Novii System identify and separate the maternal and allows real freedom and mobility which fetal heart rates. The fetal QRS complex can help the birthing process (Ref 6). The has a width less than 50% of the maternal system’s line of sight range of 30m (90 QRS. This and other differences between feet) allows the patient to move about the maternal and fetal ECG allow the the room freely. Monica Novii to be reasonably certain that the true FHR has been detected With no transducer leads between the (Ref 3, Ref 4). You can be confident that patient and the fetal monitor, the working you are monitoring the fetal heart even environment around the bed is kept clear in the most challenging circumstances and safe. The patient is free to get up shown below. In addition, the uterine without asking for assistance. EMG is used to extract the UA trace and has been shown in a clinical study to be equivalent to TOCO UA (Ref 5). 210 180 150 120 90 60 18:50 Scalp FHR Risk Mitigation Monica FHR SpO2 MHR In a high BMI patient, finding the ideal Monica UA transducer placement can be difficult. IUPC UA Because the Novii uses electrical signals, it is not impacted by maternal weight. This is data from the multi-centre clinical trial (Ref 1) showing the This translates into more reliable tracings Waterproof FSE FHR, IUPC UA and SpO2 (Ref 1, Ref 2). In addition, the Novii’s ability to MHR traces used to manage The Monica Novii Patch and Pod, simultaneously monitor and differentiate the patient.

Monitoring continuity cannot be guaranteed when the Novii Pod is totally immersed in water.

Patient Friendly Workflow and Convenient Improvements The Monica Novii is a comfortable The Novii’s simple, ‘peel and stick’ design alternative to transducers with belts, eliminates the need to re-position which can cause irritation for some transducers.

It is light, small and causes minimal discomfort. Long Inductions and Labours The Novii Interface has two inductive charging bays allowing two Pods to be charged at the same time. The Pod battery life is up to 11 hours, with up to 2 hours recharging time. Swapping Pods could not be simpler, just remove and replace, ensuring minimal trace loss and the ability to offer continuity of monitoring over extended periods.
