EDAN FTS-3 Fetal Telemetry System

The EDAN FTS-3 is a wireless fetal telemetry system that frees expectant mothers from the constraints of traditional wired monitoring. Designed for antepartum and intrapartum care, this innovative system allows mothers to move freely during labor and delivery—supporting ambulation and upright positions that can facilitate a more comfortable birthing experience. When connected to a compatible EDAN fetal monitor, the FTS-3 provides seamless, continuous wireless monitoring of fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine activity (TOCO).

Key Features & Benefits

Wireless Freedom for Mothers and Clinicians

The FTS-3 system eliminates the tangle of cables that can restrict movement during labor. With wireless US and TOCO transducers, mothers can walk, change positions, and even use water for labor and delivery while maintaining continuous monitoring. This flexibility can help reduce pain, facilitate labor progress, and improve overall satisfaction with the birthing experience.

Reliable, High‑Quality Signal Transmission

The system transmits signals over the Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band, with a coverage range of over 100 meters (330 feet) in typical hospital environments. This robust range allows clinicians to monitor patients even when they are moving within the ward or during transfer between rooms.

Designed for Multiple Pregnancies

The FTS-3 supports twin monitoring, allowing simultaneous wireless tracking of both fetuses. This capability is essential for managing multiple pregnancies where continuous, accurate monitoring of both babies is critical.

High‑Performance Probes with Extended Battery Life

• 12‑crystal ultrasound transducer – provides a wider beam area and more homogeneous signal for reliable FHR detection

• Up to 16 hours of continuous operation on a single charge

• IPX8 waterproof rating – the transducers are designed to withstand immersion, making them suitable for water delivery and easy to clean and disinfect

Intuitive Operation and Real‑Time Feedback

• Automatic probe activation – transducers activate when picked up, eliminating the need for manual power‑on

• OLED display on each transducer – shows real‑time information including battery status, signal strength, and the channel being used

• Multiple display modes – clinicians can choose the most suitable view for their clinical needs

Seamless Integration with EDAN Fetal Monitors

The FTS-3 connects to compatible EDAN fetal monitors (including the F6 and F9 series) via a signal cable. The base station receives wireless signals from the transducers and transmits them to the monitor, where they can be displayed, printed, and reviewed using the monitor‘s full capabilities. This integration allows clinicians to leverage their existing EDAN monitoring infrastructure while adding wireless capability.
