Technical Data Sheet

The Avalon CL solution offeres the choice of freedom eliminating cables for all possible
fetal and maternal measurements. With the Avalon CL you have the full performance and
features available as with the wired Smart Transducers: same ultrasound performance,
monitoring twins and triplets, Smart Pulse, and Transducer Finder LED. Maternal
measurement can be also monitored wireless using the IntelliVue CL Pods.

The Avalon CL combines convenience and versatility with ease of use; freeing the
mother from cables during all stages of care, especially in labor and delivery.
